It's definitely easier to match a shad than a silverside!

The past week was the typical shore pounding results this year. You catch a few fish here and there and in low numbers. I went to San Vicente, Poway, and Sweets. If you want a free shower, hit the lake trails at Poway. The grass and weeds are nice and thick you will be soaked in seconds with May ...

Hey all so glad to be posting this! Got to the gate around 4:40 and was #10 in line. When the gate opened everyone in front of me went to the concession area and I went straight to the vending machine for my ...

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 ...

70 degrees still, and stinks bad. Went from green to brown.
A crowd of 6 boats.
Boated 3 dinks, 1lb or less. dock worker said that was the high for the day!!!!

My buddy Joe joined me again this morning in hopes of another topwater bonanza like we had in May(boating 21 bass). Only this time with little to no topwater action at all. As the water glassed off, I thought to myself......is this a lake or an oil painting? ha ha. I mean there was a random bass ...

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 ...

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 ...

More fun on our trip to Pelican Lake, Minnesota. The evening topwater had kicked in. My buddies are getting them on the whopper ploppers while I’m getting them on the rat and the bird.

More fun.

Hey all sorry for the late report. I posted the video and then forgot to put the report here as well. Here goes…

Sunday headed for my second Hodges outing of the year and had a super fun day. I started out the day hoping for a reaction ...

My pops and I love these videos man! Love the brews! Keep them up. Tight Lines and Cold Ones

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 ...

NIce job to both of you on those nice looking chunks.

I know Murray is the end of the line for SD Water. So why such a big fluctuation in water level latey?
Thanks!


I heard it second hand about the water was going to be lowered for the 4th of July firework show and then also heard
they will ...

This is how you start the morning with a beautiful 6lb fish on cranks. To be continued hopefully this morning. Toss in a 2.2lb crappie now.

Fair to count this as clickbait. I have heard rumors of success at Sutherland but personally, I have none to report. First one on the water and fished 6 hours without a bite! Saw one fellow catch a fish. A better man!

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 ...

That is awesome Mike. The thrill and excitement Isabella must have got catching that bass and she had a heck of great father as a teacher. She will remember that moment for years to come. I remember my father taking me fishing and your post brought back lots of sentimental memories. Thank you for ...

I remember the first time I taught my son how to flyfish. I took him down to the San Joaquin and he ended up catching 25 rainbows his first day..I don't know if I was more excited or if he was! I had to convince him it wouldn't always be that way! The following year, I took him to the inlet at Rock ...
