Had a 20 fish day or so Otay. Of course half of them were probably a pound each, but still fun. Caught 3 early on topwater walking baits, then a few on a small crankbait (including a slab Bluegill). Switched to a jig and caught a few more, then went on a tear with over 10 falling prey to a jerkbait ...

It seems like forever since I fished Murray so I decided to head over and see what's happening.
Used reaction baits for a few active bass up near the surface, I stuck a little too long using reaction baits as overall there was not much surface action this morning and the sun was up early. I then ...

The big ones are definitely moving up now. Great job!

Very nice Robert!

After some quality bigger fish yesterday it was back to clones at Murray today. I actually wasn't going to post, but I just had to share a picture of this pretty clone I caught. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It had the most beautiful golden almost orange tone to it. Very dark and vivid ...

I mean since you asked lol BFS...BFS...BFS.

Had a really fun day today out there. Not many boats and the fish are chewing! It’s really sad that it’s going to be shut down soon!

Put 14 bass and an ambitious bluegill in the boat today. All but one on power fishing techniques. Finally got my first Neko Rig fish which was nice.

Gunfish ...

Soo many memories!

Headed out with the girl about 5:30 and plenty of boats had already launched. Ramp is darn close to its end but ok for another day, week, maybe two. @Moose was right on from yesterday, fish are on the chew. Saw that topwater shad trapped against the shore right away. We had stopped just shy of where ...

Very nice!

Junebug craw always gets one or two there for ya usually a nice one maybe lack of rain didn’t flushed it out toxicity must b really high and oxygen low my guess what a bummer


It was very tough at the river and to think I never really used any type of bait that was in the Junebug color until ...

So much for weather forecasts! Winds of 10-12 mph predicted..wrong! It started out calm and beautiful, fishing was a little slower than last week, partly because 4 guys were sitting on my not so secret spot! By 9:00, a slight breeze out of the east started up, and living in Ramona, I know that can ...

Murray is hard to figure out at times.
You can go at times and catch a few nice
healthy bass in the mix, or just catch clones
all day. Friday was just a dink and micro bass day, but far better than a really tough day there
where nothing much at all is biting. I stop by the lake often and talk to ...

Outstanding!

The shore can be good..look for rocks and points....and snakes!

Heading out to run errands yesterday morning, I took one rod and a ziplock of a few assorted baits and thought I would stop by Santee Lakes for an hour or so since I would be out in that area. Heck, why not?
Somehow I changed my mind and just headed to the SD River to rough it(ha ha) and toss a few ...

Ventured more than a few miles from my house to the lake of Donald and Kiefer this morning. Greeted of course by Mcfish
and then later met up with Fisheromen . Headed over to an area which I quickly labeled "McFish Point" since he does seem to fish there often. Brought my lighter kayak(roughing it ...

I have endured Mr. Vinnybass harassing me for years, questioning my quanity over quality attitude..so today I put away my finesse baits and brought out the bigger stuff! The good news..I averaged bigger fish (I think). The bad news...my quanity was way down! The worse news...Vinny caught more than ...

Thanks for the ramp report!

Nice job out there …and from shore.
Just picked up a handful of dinks this morning as I threw everything but the kitchen sink at them and the bass were really finicky
seeing that they have tens of thousands of shad to eat instead of a lure.
Tight lines, always buddy
