Took the whaler out for a spin around the lake and found a very steady bite Stopped counting around 15 fished for 2 1/2 -3 hours. Nothing special just old school worming

It took San V an extra month to get going, but it's on now! What a difference 2 weeks makes...got there at sunrise 2 weeks ago, 6 boats..today at sunrise, more like 30! First cast, lost a 6lber in a bush..bad omen, nope! I got into a solid pattern and didn't move more than 100' for the next 5 hours ...

Knowing that 15 north morning traffic on a weekday gets crazy and going south in the late afternoon a lot worse, I decided to head up to Lake Miramar and put in a little fishing time in my kayak. Knowing that I need to make the most of my time on the water I quickly headed across the lake.
I was ...

@corsoenthusiast Great point! And will have to check out that brand of weights.

I’ve been skunked at skinner 4 times now. Today was my fifth trip and the maiden voyage for my new scanoe. Only fished for a couple hours, but was able to get in some spots the bass boats couldn’t. The one day I don’t bring my scale or net…. I caught 2 tanks of bass. Being humble, the first one was ...

Well, not Paris, but Perris! Backseated Perris Lake 1/2 last Fri, just north of Skinner, cold and calm, then cold and windy. First time in over a decade. Prayed we'd pass inspection, figured it'd be a miracle, as we drove out of SD in the rain!!!! Answered prayer, the new lady never felt into the ...

Sometimes it’s fun just to hit a lake like that for a few hours. I used to do that years ago. I’ll drive out to El Cap after work and just fish from the shore to the right of the boat dock. Catch a few bass, then afterwards stop by the Taco shop to grab a bite to eat, and head home. It was a long ...

Memories fishing are priceless,
Stay after them , things change fast. Next trip its winner winner chicken dinner.
Vinny , always finds the positive of a trip, we always keep learning.
I like the taco theme .

Tight lines

Hit San V avoiding the tournaments at El Cap all weekend. 21 caught and released before 10am. Was sunny and warm as we left. Small plastics split shot were the ticket for us.

It's normally a spring problem..might last longer this year with all the nutrients washed into the lakes this winter. The water in summer and fall can get quite clear actually!

Algae in the water is pretty noticeable year round but when the water heats up it blooms and creates a 1-3 foot deep blanket on the surface

I was blessed with great weather, overcast skies and light wind.
I just couldn't do my part, I started early chasing bluegill, the bass just were all over the bait, only one bluegill.
Moved on to catch a few bass, my bluegill skills are short .I truly enjoy catching them,
It's a true challenge ...

Postponed a cool windy Friday for a warm sunny Tuesday at El Cap…WRONG! This winter that won’t let go had the lake chilly and white capping by 10am today. It probably slowed whats been a decent bite but seeing the shad along the shoreline pushed us to throw spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and flukes over ...

I have had some tough trips this year to Murray where I worked hard just to catch a couple bass(thank you for lowering, then raising the water, then lowering and then raising it a little etc, etc., etc.) Anyway...My last trip in the beginning of May showed a little sign of improvement. This morning ...

Just a couple more.....
So sad....up and down water levels... My biggest.....4.25lbs

Yes, after a fun fishing outing on Tuesday with my buddy Joe, I just had to go back to Murray and check it out.
A pretty good start as I caught a bass on my third cast with a fluke. Pretty quickly after that I landed another bass on a fluke. Just a little less than 15 minutes later I was fan ...

Clear lake and Naciemiento never disappoint

Hit up San V on Saturday. After being Skunked at Sutherland for the month of March and the beginning of April, I was happy to finally have a decent day at San Vicente. I would have gone on Monday to avoid the skiers, tubers, etc. But, I have a dentist appointment this Monday, so I decided to brave ...

You can't tell by the cold, drizzly weather..but the fish told me today! I thought for some reason when I hit San V on Monday morning, that I could take up where I left off two Mondays ago..wrong, wrong, wrong! I started flipping senkos between the brush in 4'-6' of water and soon realized that the ...

Decent size Friday crowd on yet another cooler, breezier Late May day. WTH is the warmer weather? Anyway for the 3rd straight Cap trip, I caught a fish on my first cast. I can’t say that’s ever happened before. And then after thinking it will be WFO, it turns out to be anything but and just a slow ...
