Vinny you are my hero! I couldn't find a decent bite when I was there last. By the way, I met a guy fishing at Otay yesterday named Derek who said he set up your boat. He was throwing spoons and killing it. Made me think of you. Glad you are back out on the water where you belong!

Dang!

Dang!

False advertising!!! You're making it look like mere mortals could fish Miramar and just kill it. We both know that you have the Miramar Secret Sauce! Most people will never leave the tulles and never find the chosen land! We'll keep that a secret...between you and I....and a few thousand others ...

Excellent day! When Otay topwater is happening..it's happening!

100%, the most fun fishing of this entire year so far for me has been the topwater bite at Otay. Floating in the middle of a massive baitball with fish busting all around and having them eat my topwater as soon as it hit the water ...

Yeah at some point I looked up and was the only float tube surrounded by a dozen bass boats. You're very welcome for the lure. I'm glad it worked for you! I love those little Lucky Craft poppers.

Hit Lake Dixon this AM
Got there late @ 0800 hrs.
By 0900 hrs, was too sun-exposed and freakin' hot to continue.
As I'm limited to lake pier fishing, threw the proverbial drop-shotted weedless 7" RoboWorm.
Had one "on" for a couple feet after attempting to set the hook on the first tap. I usually ...

Mistakes/failures are just as valuable as success.

Got on the water a little after 5:00 am and landed 6 really nice topwater fish within the first 45 minutes. At that point I was thinking WhooHoo! Otay all over again. Then the sun came up and the bite turned off like someone flipped a proverbial switch.

I proceeded to basically circumnavigate the ...

Nice job out there on your return to Murray. It must’ve been pretty exciting at the beginning, thinking it’s gonna be like Otay. Hopefully the fishing will pick up as the water raises higher. I was looking at the boat ramp the other day and again it’s still not high enough to launch a boat, but I ...

The top water bite at Miramar was still pretty tough but hopefully it’ll pick up. Looks like you had a heck of a lot of topwater fun down there at Otay. I always think of you when there’s topwater fish to be caught. Tight lines always buddy

Been a long time(June 21) since I actually fished on the water at Murray. Besides being out sick and a few other ailments added to the fact they lowered the water where I could not launch my boat, it was nice to actually get back on the water this morning. Threw topwater baits and reaction baits on ...

Months ago,I got a Jackall Gantarel Jr as part of a deal selling a rod and it has never touched the water. While waiting for my buddy Larry to launch his boat I made a few casts near the boat ramp and was surprised when a small bass slammed it. I was amazed a small bass would hit it and yet so ...

The man, the myth, the legend.

It is a Damiki Vault Blade Bait.

Otay has been a lot of fun this summer. Bait is all over and those fish are hungry.

Spent the first 6.5 hours of the day down there this morning and it was a little of everything. Got a topwater fish before I even put my tube in the water. Pulled up to the bank and there were busters in the cove 6 ...

Well, you probably already guessed.... as it is no surprise that I fished Lake Murray this morning. It is just so close to my house and
heck...why not! Started pretty slow as I searched all over for balls of shad in deeper water in between tossing topwater baits towards
some breakers but no hook ...
