P.S. The misses and me will be at the real Paris in October.


That will be a perfect time there. Yeah, nice chatting, and did ok with top, got 23 of my 25 on it, mostly gunfish and flukes. Ten more than the week before. It's looking so beautiful, and Jose says it's just one foot from spilling ...

Postponed a cool windy Friday for a warm sunny Tuesday at El Cap…WRONG! This winter that won’t let go had the lake chilly and white capping by 10am today. It probably slowed whats been a decent bite but seeing the shad along the shoreline pushed us to throw spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and flukes over ...

Somewhere in the land of a lake not far from Ramona lies a giant group of thousands of slimy green critters swimming around in a tight throng laughing their gills off at a solo human in a rubber lounge chair flailing about WAYYY above them with a stick and string in his hand and phony offerings ...

Good job here, very detailed tests on 29 various brands:

Glad you got on them, heard it's been fishing well.

sweet, good job.

28 years working in surgery calling BS on that article.


Don’t you constantly change your mask, never reusing the last one? Don’t you wear a certain graded mask? Also, you’re mask isn’t on all the time, right?
I wear a welding helmet when I weld. It make sense. When I raced motorcycles for 15 ...

Thanks for sharing.

I agree. Takes the mind off worrying about how often spell check fails during my daily walk thru websites!

I think all the flooded brush and tulles is the problem. They are all way back in untouchable water.

Cool. I did the afternoon shift, been a month, surprised it's down 10', but heard water still coming in at north trees. Only got two, one j/b and on boot leg frog. Lost an absolute monster in 1' of water, on the boot tail fluke. She exploded on it, and I couldn’t feel anything and kept reeling but ...

with foot controlled 46# MotorGuide trolling motor, front and back decks, great running 1996 Johnson 15 hp four stroke (painted flat black, previous owner a duck hunter, and it's DVL and Skinner lakes approved).

Has an EZ loader galvanized trailer (so good for bay and ocean/ lobsters).

Does anyone know if the water level at Otay is going down at all? El Cap has gone down… of course recently Murray’s water level has gone down. I’m just curious as the warmer months come if the water level goes down, maybe they’ll be better fishing and less places for the bass to spread out and ...

I just remembered...that's my Whopper Plopper...yeah...that's it!


So now you’re gonna tell me you lost that bait at El Cap years ago and somehow it found its way over to the dam and traveled where they’re letting the water out and ended up down the River where I was fishing. Sounds logical ...

Coolskees!!! Tops on the menu lately.

I see McFishes fish are a lot bigger when he photographs them, instead of Vinny!!!

Been two weeks since I was there, was an interesting trip. Here's my report from back then...

My God has a sense of humor, here's our latest interaction with Him, see what you think.

Dr John, my friend and current backseat student, and I went fishing at Otay lake yesterday. It ended up being much ...

Two thumbs up.

GOOD job being a wonderful parent, many aren't.

Here is a gentleman with good info- straight shank vs wide gap hooks:

too hot and the bite dies, so they usually don't sell out. So just pay at the dock and save the fees.

Bass hit my full speed topwater flukes with such precision, and speed, it always amazes me. Thus my wondering on their speed.

According to one post on a search, you'd be hard pressed to reel TOO FAST!

"LMB can swim about 12 mph with burst speed to 20 mph.
Bass rely on quick turns, not sustained ...
