Hey all,
I haven't gotten to post (or fish) in a while. I did have the opportunity to head out for just a few hours on Saturday to Lake Miramar. It was a nice mental therapy session just to decompress. The bonus was that I caught fish! I just wanted to take it back old ...

Went to El Cap today, pay at the gate early. Many others there also. I knew going in I could even get skunked. No top water bites, no chatter bait bites. Switched up to throwing DS and texas rig worm at the bait being chased. I had 8 by 8am. Now at Barrett this year at 8am at least 30 most of the ...

Finally got back out on the water again ( I really hate you guys that get to fish so often! 😝). Lake was packed! Had to have been at least one club tournament if not two going on.

Had really no idea what to expect except for the recent reports from here. Started out throwing a frog and missed a ...

Had a bit of a rough one at Otay yesterday. Got out as soon as it opened and fished till noon with only 6 dinks to show for it. I tried multiple baits in every part of the water column and just couldn't find any willing participants. I didn't even bother with pictures.

So instead I went home and ...

Not a skunk! We all have those days! You are probably back out today taking some pics.

Haha nope. Decided to take a day off. I'll probably be wishing I was fishing before the day is over though.

Miramar was super slow yesterday also. Only one bite. At least you got out there!

Was on vacation and between doing lots around the house have not been fishing much. Yeah caught some dinks the week before last at Murray, but nothing to get too excited about. Since I haven't posted for a while, I decided to post a quick report from fishing the SD River this morning. The water has ...

What the heck kind of rig is that on the senko?

with a senko.....and I forgot to take off the sinker stop off the line from the last bait on that rod. Nothing weird. Just me being lazy since I throw a lot of Texas rigs so I always leave the ...

That second one look chunky. Way to go!

Those weighted hooks are super versatile. They work real good in the kelp too.

Cool pics OM!

Have you ever tried surface lures for LMB? they're pretty fun.

Missed three weeks of top water fun as I was working in Italy. Got some at Otay last week and today at Miramar had some more topwater action. Absolutely a gorgeous day with only one other boat on the water.

Don't use the weighted hooks that often, but it makes the senko a little more weedless as a
Neko rigged senko gets hung up a lot when
flipping into heavy cover.

Works tuff, right? Hahaha
Dream job!

Hey! its been a good minute!! Hope everybody is out catching fish! Or at least trying to!

I made my way back to where I was born Beautiful Las Vegas! Never thought I would end up back here but Home Sweet Home! I was lucky enough to have completed my tiny boat build and am having a blast fishing ...
