20230605_092419.jpg June gloom..just what the fish ordered! Water temp 70-73, air temp not that nice! A stiff breeze blowing most of the day. I got on a solid pattern right from the start, working a dropshot in 15'-20', off steeper banks with rocks! I brought 23 fish to the boat, not counting a few ...

Nice! I would have run out of hooks, not to mention baits!

Breaking off 12 in deep brush and still putting in great numbers with 23 bass! Geez…my highest bass catching outing this year is the same number you broke off. Most people dread Mondays and your really seem to enjoy them catching bass after bass at San V.
Anyway, great job out there @mcfish and I’m ...

Water looks stained / green compared to the San V I remember...?
am I mistaken?

It's a little green..not as bad as 2 weeks ago..Water is still coming down the aquaduct... if that water is still coming from Sutherland, it's water visibility is about one foot!

Another 20+ day for you @Mcfish Wow. You are doing great. I was at San V yesterday, never did see you out there. Maybe next week? I noticed the aqueduct was not pouring water in like it has been these past few weeks. Down to a trickle. At least the algae bloom has dissipated.

Not San Diego…but taking care of my 93 year old mom for 11 days so my sister gets a break. Mom’s Del Webb community outside Houston has small lakes that were stocked in the early days and I can usually sneak down to wet a line at sunset. Fishing in suburbia ain’t all bad!!

Headed to Cap this morning for about 5 hours. Pounded the shoreline with a variety of baits until I found what they wanted to chew on, which ended up being spinnerbaits. Caught a handful of clones. Nothing big, but still catching. Looks like the heat is on next weekend.
Typical size this morning ...

Looks like fun!

I was at Santana's Graduation on Wednesday. Some some balloons float off. I commented, they would end up in San Vee. I was close, El Cap.

El Cap is the best spinnerbait lake in San Diego! Cool, you caught an owl!

Having a great time on our annual trip to Pelican Lake, Minnesota. The largies and smallies are coughing up crawdads so I have been throwing my trusty craw bait. They love senkos here also. For the evening topwater action it’s the rat for me and the whopper plopper for the other guys. The local Bent ...

As I arrived at Murray, a guy towing a bass boat was leaving as there was no way to launch a bass boat now as the water level to the end of the boat ramp is now just a few feet. I started to unload my kayak quickly and low and behold who pulls up right behind me....@McFish. I told him the lake was ...

20230620_090520.jpg 20230620_065205.jpg I now know what I need to keep in my boat and tube whenever there's a chance I'll be fishing around Mr. Vinnybass...ear plugs! No human being can physically talk that much! Actually, it's always a fun time fishing with the Vinnmiester. I started the day with ...

I wanted to fish Murray this morning even though the water level is down to inches from where the boat ramp ends. I figured this may
be my last trip for a bit until the water rises again so I carefully guided my kayak just over the rocks and headed out
in search of shad balls and bass. There are a ...

I thought it's almost July...didn't feel like it at 5:00 this morning! I woke up to 47 degrees...it should be more like 60 this time of year! The fish didn't seem too happy either! The first 3 hours were cold and foggy and the fish weren't having what I was throwing! Then the sun came out and the ...

Was thinking of hitting the SD River with my kayak this morning but changed my mind and instead headed out to it El Cap. I must say thank you to Jeromy(#CorsoEnthusiast) for providing added inspiration to help make my decision. The weather was crisp this morning and lake was very glassy but knew it ...

Sorry if the pics show up out of order...they go where they want, regardless of where I put 'em in the text.

Got that out of the way. Only 2 bass, saw a crap ton of 'em but they just weren't interested in what I was throwing. In a couple spots there were bluegill on the ...

I fished it yesterday (July 4), first time this year although it's in my neighborhood. It looks like there would be fish everywhere. I got a fluke fish in the first hour. Fished until about 10:30 and only got one other bite flippin' a worm. I'm guessing it was a bed fish because it bit below the ...

Some of you guys have known me and my family for a while. We ALL fish. Well, we’ve been teaching my youngest (Isabella) how to use a proper spinning setup for the last year. She’s 6yrs mind you. She’s now become sufficient enough to cast, reel on her own. Just the basic worm set up. Mostly just ...

Nice Mike!

Miss you two @Fisheromen and @otaymichael , the both of you have helped me grow in both 'arenas' as it is. Looks like I might need another sermon soon. You still doing your thing up there Pastor Paul?
