I found another versatile BFS bait that has been working well for me. Today I Caught several bass and bluegill on a Shimano World Crank 73F. The best bass was just over 4lbs.

It's an interesting bait, sort of a cross between a crank and jerk bait. It suspends so it can be worked like a jerk bait ...

I fished there yesterday and had the same question about the platforms? The water level is way down from the last time I was there. I was only there about 3 hours but did manage 3 topwater and a couple of crankbait fish, although all were on the small side.

Great job Michael! Keep those posts ...

Have been visiting Cap a lot more recently with the bite at my other regular spots slowing down for me the past few weeks.

Made one trip in the tube, back on 11/1. Fished from open until 11AM and managed to find one bite out off the end of a long point in 25'+. Thought I'd find more that way but ...

It was a relatively slow day at the Murr, but I did manage 4 bucketmouths with the one pictured being the largest at 3.7.

But the news is that the lake is supposed to get its first trout stock of the year at the end of next week (per the guy in the tackle shop). So all you big swim bait guys better ...

I arrived at the lake at 8:00 a.m. after dropping the kids off at school. Started fishing, and by 10:00 a.m. I started feeling like crap. Sore throat, fever, stuffy nose. Still I did manage one pretty decent fish on a jig. Been in bed ever since.

Here's to Hope and I feel better and get back on ...

It's going around, all over. Had that nasty cold two weeks ago. Missed three days of work and a fishing date with a couple of friends. I did manage to sneak in a couple of hours before having to punch the time clock on the following Monday., though.

Otay has overtaken El Cap as my favorite local body of water this year. Hadn't been in a few weeks and decided to make an early morning run in the tube.

Got in the water well before sunrise and was greeted by some busters and an early catch on a small subsurface walking bait. Threw a 110 Jr for ...

Feel better buddy!

Nice job out there buddy!
Heck, while I was kicking back in a sweatshirt and sweat pants, you were having a heck of a lot more fun
down at Otay. Looks like you had a blast experimenting with the stalling thing and and it sure looks like
it paid off. I will be trying more hover baits this winter as ...

Hope you’re feeling better and back to 100% soon.
I remember the days being sick and still fishing and paying the price afterwards. Anyway, thanks for sharing and tight lines when you feel better.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks all. About 48 hours of chills and fever but starting to feel better finally!

Hit the SD river this morning around 8 am and it took just over 2 hours before I got my first bite on a brushhog that I tossed in between
sunken branches and the shoreline. Set the hook and enjoyed about 5 or 6 seconds of a nice fight and suddenly the bass came off. I mean I had tension on him and ...

Round 2 this morning was even better than round one. The fatties came out to play this morning. Couple on a bladebait to start the morning, a clone sized one and a chunky ~ 4pounder. Surface activity picked up and I immediately went to the fish roller. First cast, my bait got hammered and my drag ...

Dang. I was all ready to hit the lake Sunday, woke up and my stupid back said, "YOUR NOT DOING S#@T". Great job for a short session on a typically rough lake.

Nice work so late in the year for sure!

It was a T rig and jig morning, got a nice surprise pulling the chatter over a snag.

Thanks all for the recommendations on where to fish on Sunday. I did end up going to Otay and met Corsoenthusiast (SP?) out there. Shortly after the sun came up we and about 30 of our closest boats, tubes, yaks and shore guys were on the fish. It seemed that everyone ...

Quick morning trip to the river and a quick report. Only 2 bites....pretty much tells the story.
Bass were small, but better than nothing at all.
