Hey all. Been awhile since I posted a report and today provided the perfect occasion.
Woke up a bit later than I planned. Was concerned about the wind advisory but the forecast said 5-10MPH so I said F it and decided to go join Pourboy at El Cap.

It was cold as a witches teat when I launched ...

I’ll never forget that fight. What an experience. I love that Megabass P5 Bait Finesse Rod with the Aldebaran on it. One of the best fishing investments I’ve ever made!

Chris’ video that includes my PB catch is up on YouTube! So stoked that I can relive this moment on demand now!

Hi all,

Had a couple interesting days on the water this weekend. Got out to El Cap yesterday, and had a quick session on Miramar this morning where I got into a good one. Reports below:

El Cap (1/17): Showed up to a line at the gate again this morning. My first thought: not again! Last time this ...

Hey all, I got asked by Bruce to be on the San Diego Bass Fishing Podcast yesterday. We had a fun chat about the neko rig and other things bass fishing. Enjoy!

Nice job out there Brad, was great meeting you!

It’s pretty fun down there right now if you’re in a kayak or a float tube. Fish up shallow - everything I caught was in 8’ or less of water. Had most of my success on the Neko, seemed like there were quite a few on a moving bait bite early too. Saturday was better than Sunday. Water temp once the ...

If you’re reading this, and your a regular poster in the “Bass” section of SD Fish, please raise one hand, reach it over your shoulder, and pat yourself on the back. You’ve successfully lived the grind…

This morning I made it out for my much anticipated first Cap trip with my fully rigged float ...

Nice to see you out there Robert!

Sundays was fun for me, I had a banner morning on the jig. I didn’t pick up the neko all day Sunday believe it or not.

This is from the day before, Saturday morning:

Thanks for the report! They said 1 more week of water draw then they are going to take from San V. Then back to Cap.

Hmmmmm....I was always told water can't go from San V to El Cap! Interesting!


It can’t. DFW and PUD confirmed that at the recent Friends of the San Diego Lakes seminar with ...

The mud is a huge pain to deal with, but it’s worth it right now.

Nice great work awesome vid

Looks like a lot of fun! Did you add a FF Sonar to you yak?


This is @Early release ’s old boat, I got it from him with the FFS already installed. Truthfully I haven’t used it much.


Surely Dave enjoys his old craft doing so well? 😂


That little boat ...

Hell yeah buddy!

It was truly a great day. I found a whole bunch on different bottom contact stuff. Jig, Neko, Thin Senko, Lizard and Free Rig all caught for me. Loving the new Terrova on my Kayak, spot lock is a game changer!

Was awesome to see and fish with everyone! Man I love Barrett!

Man that was so much fun. Jig, Neko, Thin Senko, Zoom Lizard, and Free Rig all got them for me with the Jig and Free Rig doing the heaviest lifting. It was awesome to see and fish with everybody again this year.

Dan, that 6.9 catch was awesome. What a way to start the day eh?

Can’t wait for next ...

Hi all,

I've been slacking on the fish reports over the past few weeks, but I've been out there and having some solid days on the water. I got out to Cap yesterday and continued working on finding the spring pattern. I was on the water at about 7:00 a.m. with the plan to fish the hot spots that I ...

After missing the Barrett Bash and not being able to fish for weeks I am chaffing at the bit to get out there once again and soak my jigs once again. I think that as well as you did and others who fished the Cap Id love to try this week sometime. Is the mud still a major concern for launching my ...

Nice job Adam!
