Tubing is its own thing, and it sort of lends itself to slowing down/finesse fishing for the most part. You can’t cover a lot of water, being low in the water makes using many baits and even longer rods hard to fish. I’ve only had round tubes since I was a kid. Always adjusting myself in the seat. I ...

I had others plans and errands to run and wish I could have fished today, but when you told me you and your brother would
be out with your new tubes at Murray, I just had to stop by the lake. It was great to see you out there and I have never fished
out of one, but you guys looked comfortable like ...

Very nice, tubing is a fun experience. Keep at it and then think about heading to the big bay...salt is a whole other (fun) animal.

Your rods leaning over must be annoying. Probably need a bungee to go from the bottom of the rack under the tube to the D-ring on the opposite side. Having to readjust your seat is pretty normal. Getting things dialed in is part of the challenge.

I built a stabilizer bar for it that connects to ...

I had a feeling your back rest would interfere with that pipe. That cross over pipe isn’t necessary. You can go to ababa bolt in El Cajon and get jumbo thick zip ties to connect the upper part if you rod holder to the large d rings and then run some tuna or para cord from the bottom of the holder ...

Just for today..... I am going to save you guys from reading me babbling on and on.
So here are a few pics of some fish I caught in (McFish will be shocked again) water depths
around 25-35 feet of water.
Hopefully the warmer weather will spur up more action in closer. Tight lines :-)

Hover Bait ...

It was a quality over quantity today at El Cap. I only caught 4 fish in a whole day of fishing, but all were over 3 lbs (based on my old analog scale). A ton of fun on ultralight BFS gear for sure.

Late post but had to share. Had a decent day on the water. Found a new spot today thanks to a generous fellow fisherman in line who was nice enough to show me. Ended up with 9 fish for the day. Had 1 on a spinnerbait first thing in the morning and then switched to a shakeyhead for most of the day ...

I had so much fun at El Cap last week I decided to go back today. I caught 9 really quality fish and 1 dink. All were on BFS gear and tiny jigs or a T-rigged tiny Brush Hog.

I tried throwing a full sized spinnerbait at some of the many busting fish, and some crankbaits too, but no takers on bigger ...

Spring Fishing Lake Hodges: The Biggest Bass Of The Year! So Far…
https://youtu.be/R94YP6_E-gE

Good morning all, I managed to get out on Lake Hodges last week and found the lake completely socked in by fog, which is not uncommon for that lake. Met up with Early Release at the launch was hoping to ...

Hello all,

Had a nice day at Hodges this morning. Met with Pourboy in the parking lot and we headed out a little after 0600. Water temp was a toasty 67 F and wind was calm. Immediately Pourboy hooked a nice fish on a spinnerbait, I think it was one of his first couple casts. Then I got lucky too ...

I wrote a much more detailed report but it vanished when I tried to add pics. 7.53 lbs on a pointer 65 jerkbait! Sutherland!

Very nice Paul! Let’s hear the story!

Cold, wet day catching mini bass on a Jerk Bait. Had 7 or 8, all under 2 lbs. One about 5" long. I was going to fish to the end of a certain point and call it a day. About 30 feet from my quitting place I threw my Lucky Craft Pointer 65 into some shallow ...

Well I have to say that I really liked my first trip to El Cap! Probably the nicest day weather wise in a long time and sometimes that means...not great fishing. But that was not the case. I don't have a boat (actually I do have a canoe, but that doesn't count) so I decided to hire a guide, what a ...

Being forgetful made my SD River fishing trip a little tougher this morning. Last night I sorted out a selection of crawbaits,
senkos, creature and a few other plastic worms in little ziplocks that were geared just for the SD river. This way I could travel light
as I have a tendency to bring way ...

You always get at least one.

Had an 11 bass morning today at El Capitan. All over 2 pounds with a couple over 3.

I was fishing a Texas rigged TRD Crawz, pitching it right to the bank and into the weeds then jigging it back out.

Yes it was. Nice morning for sure=)

Took a friend to Hodges and wanted to avoid all of my usual shore pounding, so rented a boat. Almost a quick start as I had a "dock monster" just miss while waiting for my buddy to arrive. Anyway, went right over to the birds across from the dock and there were shad everywhere and no bites :cry ...
