That float tube looks like a tank! I guess that's what happens when an Inflatable Boat Co make one? Very nice!

So funny VinnyBass!!

That's how you adapt and get things done! Keep up the good work and Happy 4th of July!

Way to go. Glad to hear that lake is doing well.

I think the record was a Bass with a lot more Florida Strain in it that wash down stream from Morena, during the El Ninos of the 93, 95 or 97 years? Not sure what the weight was. I want to say it was a low teener.

I have also hear tails of trout being caught in Barrett washing down from Morena ...

Nice work! I have have a few topwater bites at Cap where I almost could not see the bite and had to rely on sound. They do let you on pretty early sometimes there.
Some good ones there for sure=)

Even on your sick days your are slaying them! Hope your not down too long, we need these reports coming in to entertain us=)

I have been guilty of setting too early on the frog in the past too. They will hold those frogs like a soft plastic. Definitely pays to hold off on the hookset. Also if you find a spot in the reeds where you can cast back into them, that pays off too.

You are a fishing Machine! Keep it up=)

That looks like a lot of fun. Reminds me of Mohave and Havasu. Thanks for sharing.

I know one thing for sure. If that was a San Diego Lake, there would be 20 boats on it, not 2.

The look on his face is priceless.

Does the motor rev up to high RPMs in neutral? Then bogs in gear?

I was just wondering. I could be a diaphragm pump? You can pump the primer ball while you try to increase speed to see if that helps?

How are the plugs?

Does it run better with the choke on?
You can pull the carb and run a welder tip cleaner through the jets and them hit them with compressed ...

Thanks again for another entertaining report!

Nice Report, definitely keeping everyone in the loop. Thanks!

Is Barrett still Northern bass only? 12lbs is really large for those! The body shape seems more like an 8 or maybe 9. They sometimes seem to grow once out of the water...😁


It is said that when Morena has spilled in the past (long ago past now), that fish, (including stocked trout) went over the ...

Thanks for the report. That moon was defiantly a bright one on Monday!

Impressive! You guys both did very well.
Lower bass population lake (Larry Bottroff, would say Murray averaged around 4,500 catchable bass) and the heat we have been having lately can't help either.

Not tired to the Murray reports. Keep them coming!
I like the gun fish for down sizing the top hard baits. I think it's the 75mm. I know bait makers are going much smaller now, but I'm out of the loop=)

Brush Hogs work and they are priced right too.

Nice day at the river! Congrats
