August 11, 2010 Thanks.... Ken Hoffman's Guide Service |
August 11, 2010 To Dana, Good morning. Went out this past Sunday, August 8th, to Diamond
Valley Lake in Southern California. They call this lake the "Jewel
of Southern California Lakes", because it's the newest and largest
reservoir in our region. It's become one of the regions top fishing
destinations for large mouth bass, stripers, catfish and trout. This
years fishing has been a difficult one at best, with fluctuating
water levels and this summer's strange temperatures. After speaking
with Dana from Seps Pro Fishing, she mentioned something about the
new Strike Master Dodger. Since my fishing has been somewhat questionable, I immediately said that I'd take some. |
June 30, 2010 Dana, Leo , Sep and the rest of the staff: I own and operate a small fishing guide business in the Bridgeport Calif. regional lakes area. Although I have fished my entire life in that area and have always helped friends and family get on the fish, taking on paying clients was a big step. I met and began talking to Sep about five years ago and was impressed with his knowledge and his theme of ultra light trolling gear. Up until then my terminal tackle for trolling was large and bulky to say the least. Although fish were caught, my clients weren't experiencing the thrill of the fight. After all, it's the thrill of hooking up and fighting the fish to the boat that's most memorable. I began buying and using Seps ultra light products with great success. I love being able to troll but some of our lakes experience algae growth during the mid summer months, which my old style terminal tackle seemed to attract like a magnet. With Seps products I have a lot less to worry about. While trolling the action of Seps products is very apparent and only when the action stops do I need to check the gear. All anyone needs to do to understand the system is to watch Seps video or read the book on trolling truths, then order some products and hit the water. Using your products and system I have found great success and I have many repeat clients. I also have to compliment the ease of ordering and your great customer service. I have never had an issue and I can say with certainty that every product I bought has hooked fish. Keep up the great work. Ken Hoffman's Guide Service |
4/2010 Hello Sep's Your products are amazing! Fish are attracted at first sight. Between me and another buddy, we got 13 that day, biggest was a 7 lb. rainbow trout on Shadow Cliff Res. in CA. Love your products! Keep up the great work. Your fan, |
03/11/10 I really appreciate you having replacement parts, thanks for sending them...The side planer really works - I catch fish using SEP'S Side planer! Carl Elvick |

05/04/09 Last weekend a friend and I were fishing a local lake in a tournment. We are members of a fishing club here in Salem, Oregon and we were having a trout tournment. A friend of mine from Brentwood had given me a package of the 2" pink grubs and had sworn by them. Well to make a long story short we won the tournment by using them. We out fished 30 other club members and won the derby: and $100.00. So I guess this is a testamonial. |
4/10/2009 Leo, Thanks so much for your help, I'll be trying them (side planers) in the lakes in the Truckee & Crystal Basin area & I'll try and send some pictures also. I had the pleasure of meeting both of you at Fishermans Warehouse last year & was glad to see Sep had sold his company to someone who cares about their customers! Great folks making great gear! Thanks again, |
3/30/09 I have been wanting to send you a note for a while now to let you know how delighted we are with your fishing products. I have a very good friend who just turned 83, 30 years my senior. We started fishing 2 years ago every Friday on a regular basis. Our favorite method of fishing is trolling. We first used Rapalas and needle fish with minimal success. I decided to do some research which lead me to your products. I bought your book on trolling then I purchased mini flashers, pro dodgers and grubs. Instant success! Our favorite is the 4/0 dodger with a grub or nightcrawler combo. We fish mainly the local lakes and primarily Los Vaqueros. Since last year we have been averaging 15-20 trout each trip, a couple of nice salmon including a 3 1/2 lb yesterday on a copper/orange uv dodger and nightcrawler. We have caught limits of fish when no one else was doing anything at all. The general manager of Los Vaqueros has said that many days the two of us have caught more fish then everyone else combined! Los Vaqueros marina does have a great selection of your products as well. I have also made some fun videos using the dodgers with live fishing action included. If you would like to see them I can send you a link. They are not professional quality but are pretty fun and informative. Thanks again, |
03/25/09 SEPS, Thank you for the quality fishing equipment. My favorite is the SEPS 3/0 chrome dodger or chrome w/green bead flashers- Flouro leader and a fresh Nightcrawler. Attached is a 23" Rainbow I caught using the flasher/NC combo in 40 ft of water trolling at Diamond Valley Resovoir on OCT08 before they closed to private boats. Thanks again for the great products.

03/14/09 First one is a seven-pound Tahoe wild rainbow, caught on the watermelon sidekick and a live minnow. Next is a nice eleven-pound mackinaw caught on Tahoe on the silver/prism Seps Pro dodger, minnow, and a gob of roe. Then we have a gorgeous pair of Tahoe brownies, 5 and 7.5 pounds, caught just a few minutes apart. One came on the outside rod with your small Colorado blades and a minnow, and the other hit the inside rod on the silver/prism Pro dodger and minnow. Finally, the little cutie is my daughter Arielle at Upper Blue Lake in Alpine County, with a 21 inch Lahontan cutthroat caught on the watermelon Seps Pro Sidekick with a nightcrawler. All these fish were caught on the topline, no additional weight. Not a lot of people I talk to seem to know about long-line precision structure trolling with your lures, but I have to tell you it's just deadly for me. Mark Wiza 3/2009 |
01/30/09 Wow!! You really stand behind your product!! That is so rare in this day and age. I'll be buying your products in the future!!!! Bill Hicks |

01/23/09 The fishing tackle items that you sent for the Danielle Bailey Memorial Fundraiser were awesome..We thank you very much.. Steve Bailey |
Attached is a picture of my husband, Perry, on Del Valle Lake in Livermore, CA. We caught this rainbow using our new Seps side planer, (purchased at the Sportsman's Expo in San Mateo) w/flashers with a grub behind. As you can see, it works great! Ann |
Fished 11/22-11/25 near Troxel Point and Bucks Bay. Lots of 3lb-3.5 lb fish. A few 4 lbers and (1) 5 lber. 2 inch Orange Seps grubs with Sep's bead swivel down 2-4 feet on the downrigger. Water temp was 40-42 degrees. Speed: 1.5 mph. J. Montana |
11/22/08 Leo This is a photo of a 6.25 rainbow taken at South Lake above Bishop Ca. on a Sep's olive/black trolling fly. Thanks Sep for your Book and tackle we never could have done it with out you. The photo is of my three sons, the oldest Terrance is the one who actually hooked and landed it. If you look at his shirt pocket you'll see the fly. (click on photo for larger view) Paul Field |

09/29/08 "I just had to drop you a quick note and say thanks. After picking up your book Trolling Truths and reading through it a few times. It helped me in getting my boat all dialed and once out on the water knowing what to look for, setting up the rods and using my downriggers for the first time it was almost like second nature like I really knew what I was doing. The funny thing about it was, I did know what I was doing. So this morning my daughter started off her Spring Break from school she's 9. And said she wanted to go and try fishing for her first time, I've tried getting her to go out with me before but she wouldn't do it. All my studying and getting my boat in order was with the San Pablo Res. in mind. So I start thinking it's her first time fishing and mine with downriggers. Lets play it safe and do a dry run first at Contra Loma before hitting the big water at San Pablo, and we're just down the road from Contra Loma anyway. We get there and see fish at levels on the fish finder so I've got her running shallow with a small blue/silver Rapala minnow off one of your mini flasher rigs and I'm running deeper with a night crawler off one of your Pro Flasher rigs. And we've only been at it 20 - 30 min. I get a hit on the crawler, yes light tackle's the only way to go I pull in a 10.5 lb trout it's the biggest trout I've ever seen, my daughter's going nuts. I tell her to get me the net and she's dad we need a new net, I'm why what happened to it, and she's nothing I don't think the fish is going to fit in the net, it did but it was real tight fit. We had a good laugh about it, once we got the fish in the boat. After that we were happy and ready to go home, we had more than enough fish and we're trolling her line back to the dock when she gets a hit on her line. She caught her first fish a nice 1.5 lb crappie. This was one of the shortest fishing trips I've ever had and if not one of the best ones I ever had. I think she's hooked and I've got a new fishing partner for life. And who knows if there are any more days like today at Contra Loma I may never make it to the San Pablo Res. One of the best how to books I've ever read and I've read a few." Thanks Again David ONeal |
