13 now and can’t even line up the buttons on his jacket correctly

Thanks, last month at Mohave. Biggest of the trip at just under 5

John (hey that’s #metoo!) I came here to say the same thing. Only a Barrett angler could get an opening day spot and bounce at noon after a measly 40-spot! Maybe Wednesday is lawn day?!?! crazy to me. More than once I’ve “needed” that patrol boat to swoop me up in my tube at almost dark

That first fish is ok, but where can we get us some of those socks?!?!

In reality, they were probably both trying to hump his bait! They’ll try to spawn up against the boat at Cap sometimes

I bet Sycuan would be open to allowing an electroshock/fish relocation back up the hill to where they originally came from . Would be a good look for them to help out the lake/community by basically doing nothing but opening up a gate

🤣 🤣 while I haven’t tried a lot of those on the tests, I have tried quite a few different flouros. For one, seaguar is actually Seagarbage. Abrazx should be renamed. Abrasion resistant?!?! Lmao try abrasion attractant. Line is straight trash and this only confirms what I’ve thought for 14 years. If ...

You want an abrasion resistant flouro? Try sunline structure fc

The markings/no markings usually comes from where the fish are, if they’re relating to cover or open water, and water clarity. Guarantee if you catch some schooling open water fish, they will have a bland pattern at best

Forgiving?! No, actually phuck everyone involved on that side of the argument. From the ones taking destructive action to those turning a blind eye. Still don’t understand why anyone “get into politics.” Show me a politician/official that isn’t a cockroach

Lol if you’re fishing “the outside edge” of the tullies, you’re wasting your time. You need to be fishing braid or 20lb flouro and getting your bait into spots you’re not certain you could land a fish if you were bit. Or, find the fish offshore that are chasing bait

Can’t really fish it too fast, especially in warmer water. I fish straight braid around heavy cover. Might get fewer bites but I can bend a hook out and not lost $30 when it snags a stump. I’ve fished them a lot. Caught a lot of catfish on em at El cap. Imagine having drag ripped on the strike, only ...

If your goal is to catch one 4llbs or bigger, an a-rig is as good an option as any out there

Lmao this has to be sarcasm

“Fished the dropshot today for 31 fish!! With the best 31 totaling 32.7lbs!!”

X2 on mend-it, x2 on idk about the elaztech plastics. It absolutely will extend the life of your soft plastics. Boot tails in the salt (kelp especially) get destroyed and mend-it will make them last much longer

I remember back when guys would swear the fish were so dialed in they’d say “they’re only eating choc/blue vein with red flake. Regular chocolate blue won’t get bit”. I loved tight line worms. When I first started shore pounding as a kid, it was The Worm Store hand pours and Magic Worms

If anyone ever sees me fishing a dropshot, I’m basically on life support at that point and may need a defibrillator

Scott, this is actually a much more accurate description of the Barrett crowd. “Look how many dropshot and senko fish I caught!!!!! Never hear anyone trying to learn new baits to try and catch them in ways they can’t on the other lakes. Just want to feel like all-stars. To each his own I guess

Our lakes have declined because, well, some people just suck at being humans
