Hey everyone, not new to the forum but new to posting. I went out to Hodges with the goal of catching a PB. After grinding away for a couple of hours, I met another fisherman who was having some luck with crank baits. I have zero confidence with crank baits but patterns are patterns so I tied on a ...

I told my wife I was going to Hodges to catch a PB. Took the Go Pro so I could get a picture. I was lucky my scale still had batteries with juice.

I may as well repost Vinny’s from last week. Started the day catching a couple on drop shot in the fog. As soon as the fog lifted, I switched to fluke and it was on. Unlike Vinny, I stayed near the tules. Ended with 14. I missed at least that many (didn’t have the right fluke hooks with me). Most ...

I was able to get out on the water twice this weekend. Friday and again this morning. I got 5 on Friday and 9 this morning. It feels like I have caught many more. I have been fishing small flukes and a BFS walking bait (thanks for the tip Dannicus) for the most part. While I have been catching fish ...

Great job. I’ve only been out on the bay a couple times this year. It’s usually my winter jam. The South Bay is one of the best fisheries anywhere. Z-man plastics are the way to go. I used to roll with Keitech but the spotties just tear the tail off.

Well sorry if I offended anyone, but I thought this site was about sharing catches, baits, techniques that work etc... I mean I always appreciate hearing from you guys regarding what's ...

If this group of guys got skunked, there’s no hope for the rest of us.

My son and I fished Barrett on opening weekend. I never bought into the talk about 100 bass days. Well, I caught 106 and now I am a believer. As you can imagine, I wasn’t expecting much at Murray this morning. I ended up having one of my best days at Murray. It started out slow for me so I switched ...

Thanks, Vinny. I don’t have it dialed in like you but Murray is solid when it’s on. Seems like the summer pattern is finally here.

Yeah, DV is way better than VD.
