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

Wasn't going to post anything as it was pretty darn slow this morning, but Mcfish asked
me if the bass were still jumping? The answer is NO, as I did not see a single fish jump.
Worked the usual baits and was only able to pick up 5 small bass on plastic worms. The highlight on the day was chatting ...

Really nice day at The Cap. Caught perhaps a half dozen clones in the 2 pound range. Also a couple of three pounders. I thought I got pics of both of the threes, but evidently only got one. My old eyes aren't what they used to be it seems.

I also met Ron AKA Bonecrusher and had a real nice chat ...

Best one in a while...and it was an adventure.

Bit of a long story, but I have to share.

So hooked this girl on the far side of the small opening and the fight was on...she even jumped a couple times and then...she got tangled in a patch of tulles and was completely stuck. What to do? Tried all ...

San v- 35 ft. On every point. Purple or brown craw trig or roboworm dropshot. When I say 35 ft- I mean 35 feet exactly. Position your boat close to shore and drag your bait up the point. I have active target and even if I didn’t see anything on the bottom-if cast at 35 ft and they would come flying ...

Got there bright and early said hello to Chris and Dan before departure made few stops on way to the back no luck with crank or 3 sizes magic swimmers I also threw lipless, jig and underspin the fish started to bust around 730-8 mostly around beginning of north arm my dad got one I missed one on ...

Got out on El Cap nice and early with Chris, Jeremy and Dan. Also saw Robert and his Father. Early morning wind was very light and variable. Water temp was still pleasant at 65-66. That always says top of the water column to me, since that's what I want to hear. Worked along the west side heading ...

Fun day at the Murr today. Nothing big, but final count was 9. They seemed really pissed off today, fighting like crazy on my BFS gear, so even without that DD it was still a lot of fun.

Missed three weeks of top water fun as I was working in Italy. Got some at Otay last week and today at Miramar had some more topwater action. Absolutely a gorgeous day with only one other boat on the water.

May as well show a couple of my images from Italy, huh?

I haven't posted for a while so I figured I should let you know I'm still kickin'.

Murray has been a little tough the last couple of weeks. I've been averaging around 5-6 fish per day, but they've all been dinks and clones so I've mostly been foregoing pictures.

I actually saw the infamous Vinny ...

Had a fun morning at the Cap with Early release , CorsoEnthusiast , and Pourboy . I only caught 3 includingnone swimbait fish, and a couple on topwater Gunfish. Jeremy did the best of all of us, and held down the fort with around 7 I believe. He put on a Neko rig clinic.

To be fair though we weren ...

Hey all. Been awhile since I posted a report and today provided the perfect occasion.
Woke up a bit later than I planned. Was concerned about the wind advisory but the forecast said 5-10MPH so I said F it and decided to go join Pourboy at El Cap.

It was cold as a witches teat when I launched ...

My last fishing trip of 2025 was supposed to be yesterday , after fishing the deep waters of Lake Murray and coming up with 7 small & even tiny bass. Example: a few whoppers from yesterday at Murray...ha ha

I know it was still fun, but decided to take a ...

It was a beautiful day at the Murr today. I got on the water at 8:00 and was off by 1:00. It was mostly cloudy, but not really cold, and no wind to speak of all day. The water was a bit cloudy after the rains, but not as bad as I expected it to be.

My final count was six, with most going over two ...

Over the last week or so, I’ve been mentally prepping for some more freshwater fishing. I spent most of the summer in the salt, and after a few months away from my local ponds my confidence was really lacking. I also had a tough time justifying the extra drive time to hit freshwater when I had the ...

I threw practically the entire arsenal at them today. The final count was 8. Nothing huge, but all were solid 2+ pounders so I am not complaining. Every fish came courtesy of a tiny Megabass Griffon crank bait. They just wouldn't touch anything else.

Now watch, tomorrow I'll go back to the same ...

I decided to take my kayak up to Miramar this morning and throw a wide variety of swimbaits.
There was only one boat that was launched and
no kayaks and not even a float tube. Add the fact that there are no trout stockings planned there, I knew it was probably going to be tough. I mixed it up with ...

Vinny, didn't you get a good one on a swimbait at Murray a few years ago, or was that a jig? Off the floating fishing dock, if I recall...maybe it wasn't what you consider really big?


Actually I was just probably daydreaming of a 12lb bass...(as I know a guy who caught 2
out of Miramar the ...

Had a great time at El Capitan today. 9 fish in total. I threw my new Berkeley Triple Minnow rig for a while, and got no bites, but to be fair, I really need to put in some time learning to fish it. It does look good in the water.

All 9 fish came on a NED bait on a 1/8 oz jig. They liked it when I ...
