Nice! Looking to make it out there ASAP. Healing up from a total shoulder and just started fishing again. Been rough

Guess I have to get out of San Diego to catch some nice fish
Looks like you have a fun time. Thanks for sharing and tight lines

All caught on ikas, flukes, or senkos. The weather this winter has made the spring bite funky. Not getting as many bites as I usually get on reaction baits this time of year.

Hit Murray with my kayak today as a cold front set in. The cool air blowing across the lake make me think like I was fishing on a cold February day...ha ha I did not have much success as I only caught a couple dinks on a small spoon and a small bass on an underspin and that was it. I had one other ...

First of all, thanks to whomever saw the need to start this new site! It is very much appreciated!

As many of you know I frequent Sutherland on most Fridays. This year I am attempting to fish an entirely differently lake. It is 40 feet deeper that the lake I fished in the fall! On the opener the ...

I got to the lake at 6:15, under dark, cold, cloudy, drizzly skies..which pretty much remained that way for the next 6 hours!! The lake seems about a month behind with the unseasonably cold spring we're having! I ended the day with 14 fish, mostly small males which I hadn't planned on fishing for ...

Great to see you back on the waters of San V again and posting on this new site. It used to be McFish Mondays and I never had to worry about you dropping in to Murray and trying to take over some of my spots(ha, ha ...just kidding of course). I bet it was pretty cool out there on Monday, but ...

Great news about the water levels.
Lots of new places for the bass to explore and so much more fun then when the lake was really low and the tulles are barely out of the water.
Tight lines everyone

I was out on Sunday and pretty much had the same fishing experience. I was happy to see the fish I did, since it's my third time at San V and the other two times I only caught trees. I'm looking forward to it warming up, it's a nice place to fish.

Happy to see SDfish lives on! I was there this past Thursday in the wind and rain and the bite was great. My buddy and I had 35 fish on drop shots and jerkbaits in the 10-20ft range. Best quality was on the 6” Pro Green Pumpkin Roboworm with lots of 2-3lbers and a 6lb kicker. Think the weather had ...

A tough spring so far, no consistent weather for more than a day or two! I can't wait for everything to stabilize for awhile and get into some reliable patterns! Right now it seems like what day you're on the lake can make a big difference with all the temperature changes and water level ...

Hit Murray in my kayak yesterday morning(4/19) and then again this morning(4/20) only this time in my boat. There has to be some casting advantage especially in a boat being higher above the water(not related to 4/20 high..ha ha) but there really wasn't any.
Anyway, basically the same results ...

Ha..no fish in the tulles...then why do I smell Tokyo Rigs?? I'm waiting to see the sixes, I know how to catch small fish this year! Think I'm gonna resort to biting some heads off soon! Everything will change with this heat wave...please please please!

Nice seeing you on the site JJ.
The water is high with lots of new areas for the bass to hide…. but pretty sure you and Otay Michael will be finding and catching plenty of them.
Tight lines

Otay Michael could catch a frog or popper fish out of my birdbath! I expect him to show up at my koi ponds!!!

Took the tin can out to DVL for the first time on Wednesday. Fish were just starting to move up shallow. Saw a lot of big fish cruising the bank but they were uninterested in what I was throwing. I was able to get into 9 quality fish in the 2-5lb range off beds. Key was light line and Ned Jigs/ Drop ...

Looks awesome, hope you all get your PB's now. Nice fish Otay Mike, looks like the early topwater is happening!!

Fun little trip to El Cap this morning. Night and day from last weekend were I managed 2 fish in 2 days.
Mostly worm fish, with an underspin bonus. Tight to or in cover was the key for me. Managed a mission to get one of my catches out of a bush that involved me keeping pressure on the fish for 5 ...
