Cheating on a person is bad and if going behind Lake Murray's back to fish Lake Miramar is bad....I am guilty. Headed up to Miramar once again with my kayak. It has been so much fun fishing up there and just had to go back. Had a little late start as I did not get on the water till almost 7am and no ...

With Miramar set to close to boats, kayaks, kayaks after Labor Day, for who knows how long, to work on a big project, I decided to hit it one more time. Water level had dropped since my last trip on the 22nd and when I arrived a guy pulled back too far after his buddy launched his boat and his ...

I went fishing mid-week at Murray last Wed. (retirement rocks). I caught 6 bucket mouths total all quality bass. 2 were on the flats with a roboworm on a dropshot. All the rest were caught working the edges of tules with jigs and Senkos. All in all, a great day on a lake who's water is finally ...

Had a rough morning...I was shore pounding and pretty much threw the entire tackle box at and was rewarded with 0 bites. Maybe I need to be more patient? Around 10 am I reluctantly tied on the wacky rig and salvaged the day with a couple.

Sweet! Nice bass!!!
Geez, look at the mouth on that sucker. I bet you are glad you decided to make a couple extra casts. Heck even
a bad day can change instantly when a nice fat one like that gobbles up your worm before you headed home. You must
have been ecstatic getting that bass in safely to ...

nice write up Sir

Was this from shore or a tube? Don't know too many people that'll shore fish Barrett.

Outfreakingstanding!!! Great battle to earn that catch too

not barrett

That's a great fish and a great story! Congratulations.

Hell yea!!!!!

After Labor Day, Miramar closed to watercraft(bummer...I was having fun up there), so I made a return back to Murray. After a couple trips I found that bass are still feeding on shad and there are some busting fish here and there at random times. I spent 95% of my timejust cruising around looking ...

Congrats! Tough to remember my last 5+ ! Love how they pull!

Nice one! That is a Summertime El Cap fish (XL sized) through and through.

We should start a post, "Guess what lake this fish was caught in?". Only show the fish and not the background.
If VinnyBass posts one, just guess Murray and you have an 80% chance of being right=)😂🤣 JK, wish I got to fish ...

After picking up some dinks yesterday at Murray, I decided to try somewhere different this morning. With a slightly cooler weather forecast, I headed down to the San Diego river. Last time I was there was in early June and with no launch or permit fees...I figured what the heck. Not much was going ...

Congrats. She's a beauty!

20230922_062845.jpg 20230922_074842.jpg They're putting Sutherland out of it's misery this Sunday, shutting it down for the winter. It's been a long strange trip out there this year! Good days were almost nonexistent. Just when you thought it was changing for the better..it wasn't! We were hoping ...

Just a short update that after some recent trips to Murray.....there are still plenty of small bass reacting to reaction baits.
While it is always nice to catch a healthy bass, it has still been fun trying different baits to catch these little buggers.
At least they are hungry.....ha ha. :-)
Just a ...

Yep.....Did not throw it too long, but had one come off on the jump with the A-Rig, but landed that guy.
Will try to throw it more in the winter months down in deep water.

Here's a 12 incher I got from Hodges this time of year several years ago. I caught it on a "glide" cough cough hahaha It was never weighed or measured, just a pic and released. The hatch lid is 18" so you can assume the length.
