Re: Hodges report April 20

Great report, good job on all accounts. Action has been heating up on all our lakes, I hit El Cap and got into a good j/b bite yesterday, getting a limit, finally, while others reported good bite on spinners. Buzzers good early am. Keep up the good work.

Re: Good to be back to the V.

Good job. I was there a little over a week ago and had a nice Topwater session. Spooks, whoppers and frogs. Lost a DD bulldogged me deep after inhaling the spook - heart break. Fun times ahead

Re: 1st time at Clearlake

Oh yeah… reward if found. Depart Tower Park Marina (little potato slough) head north and turn left on S Mokelumne slough. It’s 100 yards on left in 8 to 12 foot of water, depending on the tide, of course. While you’re there I’d throw the buzz bait. :-)

Re: Wed 22 kayak report

Good job buddy. Late start as usual, only ‘landed’ 7, but biggest was w/ the frog. Same last week. Looking good for a great bite next few months.

Thank God for 65 pound braid, you don’t lose the fish down in the plants cause you can bring the plants up with them! :-)

Re: Late yet epic!

Amen DarkShadow, Amen. I've always used Barrett for just that reason. From day one, when I read 1/2 the field was throwing, and losing 100 Senkos a day on the bank, to land that many. I stuck with the learning, getting 'only' 20 to 40 per day. BUT now I know how to fish soooo many patterns, and that ...

Re: Fishing identity crisis + report for 6/2

AND THEN.. wait till you add changing barometric pressure, moon phases, wind (or lack thereof), sun, rain and overcastness (is that a word) into the equations!

Basically, bass fishing is not for the faint of heart. Some of us like a challenge- well, most of us. It''s the thrill of victory (landing ...

Re: Frogging in the thick cheese

Yeah, without braid I'd not of landed half my topwater bass either (hollow bodied and boot foot frogs). The slime covers most the underwater shoreline bushes, and they head right for it after hooksets. Thanks for the heads up on that pattern 619. Ended w/ 15, all top but one on a follow-up Senko ...

Re: Otay, Murray, El Cap



I ordered a Zoo Pup bait along with with the this crazy looking thing called a Bone Doctor. I plan on trying the latter as a finesse jig trailer. I'll let you all know how they work out for me.

Re: Frogging in the thick cheese


Nice work Michael, those are healthy bass, only negative i have is trying to get all that moss/white fluffy flower that'd stick to the braid off. I guess you have to work for them.


What a pain in the butt that stuff is. sticking to and globbing up on the line. Stops casting As it tries to get ...

Also, he’s covering information on the city and the county’s plans on closing some of our lakes certain days and months per ...
