Arrived at Otay just as they opened the gate, and launched my tube from North Point. No sooner had I kicked out than the bass started busting all around me.

Caught my first 5 on a topwater walking bait. Then switched over to my little deep diving crankbait. Caught 11 more bass and 8 really large ...

Back here at Pelican Lake in northern Minnesota with my buddy Scott for our annual angling extravaganza. The first day started out cold and windy but the afternoon was nice along with the fishing. We got about 45 largemouths and smallmouths between us with most of them nice three pound chunks ...

Nice fish. I too lost my biggest hooked bass on a crank. The lower lip of the bass was too big by far to allow the hook on my Norman Big Little N to pernitrate the fishes mouth. It was just skin hooked in the lower boney part of her jaw. Her jaw bone was bigger around than my thumb. Got her to the ...

Took my oldest son float tubing at D&K. Awesome day. My son is just now getting the fishing bug at 35....but he's still really new to it.

He ended up with 7 and I caught 16. Several were caught on walking topwater baits and poppers, a few on a crankbait. After the topwater action slowed, the rest ...

No, the major draw down a few years back didn't kill all the bass. A few weeks back, I had an incredible day but didn't have my gear with me to record it. So we headed back today and it was slower but still managed a few. Lake is as full as I have ever seen and still rising. Great place to take the ...

Cool. I’m all for harvest etc but that’s just disrespectful. If that how you like to treat a resource and one that’s been through the ringer, good for you man.

(Responding to killing time)

Rob, I enjoy your bass fishing videos that you have shared with us. You have gone on lots of bass fishing adventures and
they are more exciting to watch than to just read about. Hope life is treating you well after the work place we both worked
at. I am loving retired life. On this one, I tend to ...

It’s all good. Honestly the wading and go pro was a joke. I’d be lying if I didn’t swim more than once for something in that lake. The release was rough.

Take it easy killing time, all I had to “know” you by was your response to this post. “Agreeing” with that “toss” wasn’t funny in the context of ...

Been a minute since I posted! Band stuff has kept me busy lately but I have still been out fishing my normal places - Cap and Otay are where I’ve spent the most time but also got a Hodges trip in.

Otay has been business as usual for my brother and I. Flyline plastics along the tile line and for me ...

Ok guys...here is the deal. You right, Even though it looks worse than it was, I should have taken the time to release the fish better than the way I tossed it back and take responsibility for that. I have been bass fishing for many years and have nothing but respect for the resource.honestly, I ...

I had to find two more strikes and the go pro and wading was a joke. Internet humor rarely comes across correctly obviously… although I was bothered by what I saw. I only said something because that’s my home lake I’ve been fishing it for over 35 years and my uncle used to be the dam keeper there ...

I fished lake Murray this morning, and the water was so low that it was almost at the end of the boat ramp. On the plus side, I had the place almost all to myself (except for a few shore guys that arrived mid-morning).

There were a lot of bass busting early, but I couldn't get them to take my top ...

Yesterday, I loaded my smaller kayak and headed over to Lake Murray in hopes of fishing only a few hours before the heat arrives. Aware that they were lowering the water level like they do every year for the 4th of July Fireworks show, I just assumed the ramp would still have a little water on it. I ...

What's up guys. The 2nd edition of my trucking and fishing video's. On this one I had a lot more planned but time constraints didn't work out. But I did manage to have time for some fishing under the I-10 bridge over the Colorado River( Az side). I didn't expect much but was happy to catch some ...

After an abysmal Saturday at Sutherland yesterday (a handful of dinks) I thought to redeem myself at El Capitan today. The topwater bite really never got going at either lake this weekend, at least where I was fishing.

It had been a minute since I'd worm fished, so I T-rigged a 7 inch fat Roboworm ...

Was out at Hodges early Sunday morning to test out my newly refurbished Pontoon and to see what I could catch. I had a stellar day catching over a dozen bass. I wanted to see if my battery would hold up all the way to the dam and lucky for me it did because I was throwing an Evergreen Pc5 and most ...

You should upload your photos sideways and they will magically be corrected, via VinnyBass=)

I think maybe just have the guys turn theie laptops sideways is easiest for me!

I think I like that sideways thing....ha ha

I fished a Heroes on the water tournament there and came in third a few years back and it was tough until I cracked the code with 20 minutes left and then started slaying. Once I figured it out it was pretty good. Shortly after it got closed and I still haven't been able to redeem my free kayak ...

Lots of fun was had.. 10 total landed this morning, 7 keepers, biggest one 19”/3-9. Happy 4th all!
