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 ...

Fixed.
There is a little round arrow next to each file after you attached them to the post.

Nice photos by the way.

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 ...

Good job Sir! Sutherland has definitely been a struggle this year, sometimes a change of lakes or baits can give you a real boost! Congrats on braving the Saturday crew and getting some fish too...nice!

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 ...

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 ...

Not San Diego…but taking care of my 93 year old mom for 11 days so my sister gets a break. Mom’s Del Webb community outside Houston has small lakes that were stocked in the early days and I can usually sneak down to wet a line at sunset. Fishing in suburbia ain’t all bad!!

Soon it will be Pond Murray! All that rain this winter and the City can't keep water in the lakes...hilarious! You should of taken those bass home and put them in your aquarium...before they end up like Lovelands poor fish! Nice job figuring out the bite..but you could of started with the dropshot ...

Vinny is to special to fish the ds, he has his tokyo rig.....

Headed to Cap this morning for about 5 hours. Pounded the shoreline with a variety of baits until I found what they wanted to chew on, which ended up being spinnerbaits. Caught a handful of clones. Nothing big, but still catching. Looks like the heat is on next weekend.
Typical size this morning ...

Having a great time on our annual trip to Pelican Lake, Minnesota. The largies and smallies are coughing up crawdads so I have been throwing my trusty craw bait. They love senkos here also. For the evening topwater action it’s the rat for me and the whopper plopper for the other guys. The local Bent ...

Guys who forgot that Otay is closed the second Wednesday of the month like clockwork usually end up this day at Murray. I thought to myself, I could fish Murray this morning and post a report(like you guys haven't seen them before...ha ha), but decided to venture out to the SD River for a few hours ...

8A3F1F38-116F-4514-87FB-D895E5A4DEA9.jpeg If I had to pick one color; the Green Pumpkin Purple 6” Roboworm has caught at every lake I’ve fished here. Seems to work in both clear and stained water. Any combination of brown/purple, green pumpkin/purple, green pumpkin/blue seems to be pretty universal ...

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 ...

Usually I hit up Hodges in the mornings, but today I had a couple hours to spare, and so I decided to head out at 2:30pm – and boy was it HOT, and WINDY. :twisted: I totally forgot the wind picks up big time in the afternoon. And it's probably why I only saw a couple kayaks and a float tube in the ...

Hell yeah brother! The jig has been the juice up there for me too. Last weekend I pulled 5 in 20 minutes on a black jig.

Heck, out of all the guys on SDFish, it seems like only a few go bass fishing based on the amount of actual new posts each week.
I know that there are slow times for everyone when you may only catch one or a few small ones, but why not share it. I understand there are some guys who like to keep ...

Got to fish San V yesterday morning with SDFish member Oh Da Shiz off his boat.

San V is just en fuego right now. Mostly a finesse plastic bite but they were chomping. Find the shade, find the mud, find the fish. Definitely the best local bite going that isn’t on the downlow.

We ended up with ...
