The dinks at Murray are boiling and on the chew. This was the average size I was catching this morning


Yeah, got 25 that size there on Fri., in a half days work. Some 1 pounders but a couple even smaller. Blind casting a small popper, the Bevy by Lucky Craft, thanks to Dannicus giving me one at ...

Then again, I got 15 the week before, after four hours of Nada working clear water at San V., working the mud lines. Chatter baits And jerk Baits.

And thought about that as I was working Topwater halfway through my short session. The report was the bite was terrible, from Lake staff and friends on the water. Decided not to let that bother me too much, and went ahead with the plan to get some Topwater action if I could. Ended up with some nice ...

Moose, we had the same experience at Otay yesterday. There were 4 of us and we were all doing different things. It just wasn't a fishy day.


Feel your pain. Went out three times end of Dec., 1/2 day each. I got a blow up at El Cap, a top water catch which got off halfway to the boat at Otay ...

Chuck ( 619bassin ) and I hit lake Baccarac in Mexico for the last few days. We had fished the lake together four years ago and had a blast back then.

Left San Diego via Tijuana to Los Mochis Sunday morning, a 1.5 hour flight and a 2.5 hour van ride, arriving there late Sunday afternoon. Grabbed ...

A couple of more

Too much fun

Glad you came out unscathed, for the most part. ;/o

Nice report. glad you're 'out of the closet'. ;/)

We had an absolute blast, you will too.

Never heard of such a thing, but upon research, finally found that warning. Thanks, saved me 2 hours of wasted driving, small miracle I stopped over here before heading over there:

I’ve seen Hodges when it was pure green paint. Stuff stick to your line muck up your guides. Terrible. No one ever closed the lake. We all lived through it
