1st brown of the morning today! Quality Shasta Lake browns readily take a properly presented Shad that has been soaked in Pautzke Bait Co. Fire Brine overnight!

Taking advantage of the shaded side of the lake before the sun hits the water is always a good idea when hunting big German Browns.

Good friend and fellow guide, Anthony Cox showing his biggest brown landed this morning while fishing with me.

Todd Henderson of Redding holding a trophy Shasta Lake German Brown caught and released on October 1st this season! Good job!!

Mike Fisher with a trophy size Shasta Lake German Brown he caught with a Trinidad Tackle #3 1255 Optimizer spoon while fishing with Stan Kulak.
