Found this on Tube.... Its a long one. Pretty Sweet!

Damn... Made that trip to the crappie MECCA! It has been tough on crappies so far this year. Nice going Chatmar! Thanks for sharing.

Great Job Larry! You deserve it! You put in more work than anybody else I know. Congrats!

Waiting for a home...

Str8t up Bullgills! Very Nice indeed!

Here's a cool video of the opener -

So,

As everyone knows Hodges opened last week. I've been starving for a crappie bite all year. I had to go. Plus the kids have been asking to get out as well. Thought it was the perfect opportunity for both.

Got there in line before it opened to ensure we got a rental.

The ramp is now the parking ...

Nice Job out there Larry! They have been expecting you Sir!

Went back for 2nds.

This time I got Dave out of his nice cushy crappie machine and into a good old fashion flat bottom rental. Fished moved on me but it only took a hour or so to re-locate them. Live scope not needed. Then we proceeded with the beat down.

Hammered them until ...

Nice job out there again Larry! Str8t Bull Gills!

Nice job out there Stringbean! You fishing from shore or float tube?

Got some BIG BULLGILLS there Stringbean. Nice!

Nice job out there!

At least you went...

I wonder where the water is coming from? Sutherland or El Cap? Sutherland needs to be drawn down just to be able to launch properly.

I haven't been to El Cap all year. Lets us know how you do!

Dave and I hit the Bay yesterday from 6am - 11:30am. Fishing in the slack and some of the incoming tide.

I get out here about 3 or 4 times a year. The only goal was to catch as many species as we could.

The bite was pretty steady all morning long. Lost count of the ...

If I may ask, is there a strategy to maximize the number of species caught or is it pretty random?


All random pretty much. We did not do anything different. Just tossing out 4in jigs with a slow retrieve or drift. But it does seem like different location hold different species. Like we always ...

WTF? A Roy Justice sighting? My Man! A legend here folks!

Str8t up Bullgills!

The kids have been ready for another trip since we did so well @ Hodges a couple of months ago. I've been hearing the bluegill bite was on @ Otay so I thought we would give it another try. I say another try as I've taken the kids here a few times and we never seem to have a good day. My son labeled ...

Just read this. Passing it along.
