Had a really fun 18 fish day at The Captain today, but I had to go old school to get them.

Started off on top with 2 on the Gunfish. Then I switched to a jig and got a couple more. Then the bite just stopped, so I tied on a pegged Texas rigged Trick worm and evidently that's what they wanted!

Most ...

Oh and who said BFS won't work in grass and cover?

With a very hot day ahead, I was going to stay home but decided to go to Murray. Finally got on the water a little after 7am and messed around trying to catch one of the bass chasing shad along the surface. It was next to impossible as those little buggers were up and down quickly but did pick up ...

The goal: catch a bigger fish than Vinny this week! D.K. my choice of lakes to complete the challenge. Baits I selected to achieve my goal...everything I can cram into my tube! I thought I pulled it off but fell a little short....! He has not heard the last of me!

I have, parked on the right side near top of ramp, lady in tackle shop said it was okay.
Probably want beach sand type wheels. I have the boonedox wheels and they were digging into the dirt next to the launch ramp. I had to unload most of my kayak to get it to pull up the hill, pita.
Definitely ...

Went to Murray as it got hot very quick(the weather I mean). I messed around with breaking bass that almost all of them were pretty small. Same story as they are feeding on shad and that is what they want. I tried baits that in the past were a sure thing which gets me pretty frustrated when they don ...

Sometimes you just need a little break and decided it was time again to hit Murray in the morning before it gets too hot. Did not get an early start as I finally was on the water around 7:45a.m. Not much surface action so I decided to flip a little with a Tokyo rig. I probably mentioned it a number ...

Thanks to the incredible wisdom of our City Lakes leaders, D.K. will be closing this week for the season....and like every other year, it's right when the lake is really heating up!!!
Started out at sunrise with perfect overcast skies and was instantly on fish! My first 2 casts were blowups on the ...

I was out there as well, tough morning for me.
1st fish not on til around 10am. Started picking up clones on the minnow and free rig over the next few hours. Seen a feeding frenzy over at the bouy line nxt to the dam around 1, got a few missed bites and finally landed a 2 1/2# clone.
Decided to ...

20 guys googling shimmy swimmer 125 in 3..2..1..

I did a little better today. Still mostly clones but a couple over 3 lbs. as well.

I took my tube out for a test after doing a few things. Biggest is changing my 30# thrust motor to a 45#. As i was setting up the tube i found that I had forgot my FF mount. So I'm fishing blind. Not knowing how my new motor would do with my battery I took off across the lake to the left of the 2 ...

Hit Murray with my buddy Joe this morning. The surface was basically dead as did not see any busters so it was soon worm time. Using a variety of worms, creature baits, flukes. etc., we picked up some clones here as there as it was a little later morning bite. Missed a few bites comes along with the ...

Finally got the ok to go back out in the sun as long as I had sun coverage and sunscreen. Followed Drs orders and headed out to San V today with sunscreen, a sun gaiter and hat.

Lake is super low and 20+ foot visibility. Decided to fish areas that were out of my usual rotation. Started the day ...

Great seeing you at the ramp. I ended up landing 9 and losing a bunch more including one giant that straightened the hook on my jig. And yes it was a bass not a cat. I lost it on the jump. Video coming soon.

That sucks u lost your wheels sorry to hear that I think slow everywhere this weekend w storm coming in next weekend b way better

All my life I've been a salt water guy, had multiple boats, normally around the 21' range and I'd go looking for tuna. Sold all of that including my gear many years ago, my back just couldn't handle the pounding any longer (3 compressed disks).
