Late post but wanted to share. Fished Murray Thursday morning. I was able to hit this beauty off a drop shot. Pulled some drag and immediately knew it was a good one. Biggest one for me this year. Scaled at 4.14lbs. Tight lines guys!

Fished Lower Otay last Wednesday and had a decent day as far as numbers go. Water temps pushing over 79 degrees and pretty stained down the Harvey Arm. Lots of blowups right at the bank and we had most of our success with finesse like weightless Senko and Neko rigs. Decided to throw a jackhammer w ...

Careful, someone might cal tip you on here…they already have your name, mugshot and detailed admission of guilt….hahaha

I made a trip to Murray last week. No topwater. A couple on Texas rig. 14 on a 3" fluke style bait. A couple 4lbers and as it has been a bigger one that got away.

Bet you dollars to dimes dad could have cared less how many he caught.Good job making his day

Awesome! Enjoy every minute with your dad! Not a day goes by that I don't think of my pops and miss him

I fished for a few hours early at Otay. Ended up with 11. A mix of small topwater walking baits, and this little bait that I shared in the BFS forum.

Saw you guys. Crazy you guys can tandem that yak. They do make tandem ones. Cap is good.

Had a great day at Miramar yesterday. My buddy and I ended up with 30 fish total with a 4 and a 3.15# which we were pretty happy about. We lost 3 more that jumped at least once and were in that weight class. Also had a double hook-up which is always awesome! I can't remember a time when these fish ...

Nice job! That is a fat one!
Was up there today and had a pretty darn good time.
Thanks for sharing and tight lines always buddy

Haven't been up to Miramar since the middle of June and had a fun time that day so decided to take my kayak back up there and see what's happening. Kind of bummed as was no surface action except for an occasional splash out in the distance. So after a number or useless casts with topwater baits, I ...

Topwater season has arrived full force at the Murr with fish busting all over the lake. I saw a few good sized ones come up, but mostly they were small, and chasing tiny bait. I got a handful on my usual topwater walkers, but I swear they have been practicing how to throw a lure when they jump ...

Took the tube out at Miramar from about 9-11:30. Landed a couple Dinks on the drop shot roboworm and lost a nice one on the buzz bait. Fun little morning. Sorry for the lack of photos.

This is the First Time I had luck at Miramar. Thanks to Vinny for his posts recently at Miramar, I was able to land a few smaller fish then caught a 3#er by the Bouy line. And yes that fish fought alot harder than expected. Usually fishing San Vincente but pretty much similar small fish. Just glad ...

Ended the morning with 9 fish total. All on jigs along drop offs, and frogs across the top of floating vegetation mats (of which there are plenty). I put a new seat in my float tube and man is it nice! Ergonomic and no more sliding down in the seat. Should have done it years ago.

Topwater fun...Very nice!
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah honestly there is so much grass that a frog is really the only viable option, at least on those huge grass mats. I'm not complaining though. Frog blowups are a rush. I just have to learn to be more patient on hook sets. I missed a few by getting too excited and setting early lol
