Hi Wes,
Welcome to the site. I have been reading your reports for years on the bfhp and other places. Any bones you can throw us on the lakes over in the Central Valley / Foothills like Kaweah, Success, and Isabella would be great. I know these lakes have the big fish in them, but you never hear too much about it. Any tips on the sinking rubber swimbaits would be great too. I mostly stick to the smaller 5" swimbaits for fishing deep and haven't found a big trout imitating swimbait that I have the confidence to throw all day and fish deep.
