Hey all so glad to be posting this! Got to the gate around 4:40 and was #10 in line. When the gate opened everyone in front of me went to the concession area and I went straight to the vending machine for my ...

Made the trek up to Hodges today. Currently exploring the shoreline pretty fast to find spots for next week. Not a bad start

20230605_092419.jpg June gloom..just what the fish ordered! Water temp 70-73, air temp not that nice! A stiff breeze blowing most of the day. I got on a solid pattern right from the start, working a dropshot in 15'-20', off steeper banks with rocks! I brought 23 fish to the boat, not counting a few ...

Sorry guys, I made this post last week in the wrong section. Anyways, I decided to throw it up again and say hello. Nice to know that this site exists as I was bummed when SDFish.com went away as it was a great tool for information and to connect with other anglers. ( I was Rescue ranger 905). Now ...

I'm whipping out the dropshot @ Barrett everytime and Slaughtering! No shame in my game - I ain't losing 40 on lures there! Haha

Sayin' Hodges!

Was on the lake heading to the Del Dios arm by 5;30 am . Didnt have much action picked up a couple clone fish but nothing to write home about. I threw shad raps, micro jigs, spinner baits and sencos > everyone i talked too was saying it had slowed down. About 9;30 I put on a finesse football jig on ...

I can definitely see why El Cap is your favorite body of water.
What can I say but "Awesome report, pics and fishing!" Dang...while I sat drinking coffee early these past few days, you were
pulling in bass after bass which must of been really a blast. When normally a sore arm is a bad thing, I am ...

Nice, and from shore!

Right place, right time!

Was thinking of hitting the SD River with my kayak this morning but changed my mind and instead headed out to it El Cap. I must say thank you to Jeromy(#CorsoEnthusiast) for providing added inspiration to help make my decision. The weather was crisp this morning and lake was very glassy but knew it ...

Well after my last great session at Lake Hodges I went back yesterday and was on the water to early my old body was saying to me. I wanted to make it back to the structure I fished with great success my last time. It was a hell of a swim backwards even though i was using my new drill paddle i made ...

Some of you guys have known me and my family for a while. We ALL fish. Well, we’ve been teaching my youngest (Isabella) how to use a proper spinning setup for the last year. She’s 6yrs mind you. She’s now become sufficient enough to cast, reel on her own. Just the basic worm set up. Mostly just ...

Sure fish black and blue finesse jigs and fish structure at 15 -20 feet off points

Recently after moving lots of junk around in my garage( while getting rid of junk also), my boat sat there looking like a storage unit. There was junk beside it, under it and on it.,,,it was crazy! So I went a little crazy on Sunday afternoon and moved everything around so that I could actually pull ...

I'm sure you'll remember this summer! Glad you got some time with your brother!!

Lots of bass action CorsoEnthusiast to say the least!.
Those are great pics that capture the fun of catching lots of bass with your brother.
It is safe to say the the action will continue for both of you the next 2 weeks. After
that, we will look forward to seeing your bass fishing adventures and ...

Bass and friends..what more can you ask for? I started the day by running into Ramona Angler at the docks, and sharing the latest tips and San V info. I got on the water around 6:00 and proceeded to lose a nice fish right off the bat! The bite seemed a little tougher than the last couple weeks, but ...

Heading there tomorrow and so excited to fish this lake again. Thanks for the info. Cheers!

With excessive heat warnings, I decided to go over to Murray this morning before the heat arrives. I am so used to fishing out of a kayak or boat with lots of tackle but I did not want to carry a lot so I gathered a small assortment of reaction baits and off I went. I decided to just fish off the ...
