I could have tried free-lining a senko but it would have got lost in the current and stained water…ha ha

The chance of an El Nino bringing above average rainfall is 50/50! Last year was an La Nina year and we had way above average rainfall...so are we just going to dump half of our water supply into the ocean every year? So, if the rain doesn't show this winter do we have to fill our lakes back up with ...

If you want to read an article that probably cost a lot of money to produce and basically says look out the window and decide for yourself, check out NOAAs forecast for this winter.

was fishing an underspin and landed a few 2 pound largemouths when suddenly something slammed my lure and bent my medium heavy rod over and started peeling drag.  Turned out that a 15.2 pound catfish thought the swimbait looked tasty as well!

After teaching a photo class in Carmel for a few days I got a chance to hit the Delta again. Sunrise to sunset yesterday produce three limits, jerkbaits, gunfish and boot tail flukes- fun times.

No monsters, but they’re always there lurking.

Hey McFish, we went for the late afternoon/ evening session and didn’t get any action at all. I threw crankbaits, swimbaits, and Senkos. I don’t know if it was me, my float tube, or the fish, but I did see that another poster caught 6. Maybe he was out there in the morning or I don’t know how to ...

If you're going to chase the breakers, you're going to need some patience(sorry Vinny)! I got on the water at 6:00, with a decent Santa Ana blowing. Since I was only going after topwater fish, that wasn't really helpful! About 8:00, the wind turned around to an onshore breeze and the fish started to ...

There definitely aren't as many 8lb+ bass as there was back in the 70s-90s! San V use to have them..then they stopped stocking trout! Rare to run into one these days

I haven't been to El Cap in a couple weeks, so I thought I would give it a shot. My last time there I got into some fun topwater, so this time I set up 5 rods for topwater and dartheads! So you can guess what happened...no topwater! I spent a couple hours searching for anything on top and found ...

Have not been fishing for a while and kept debating should I go or should I not.....I finally decided to head over to Murray. It took a
bit as I did not even get on the water till about 9:15. I was surprised I did not have to show a valid ID to prove that it is actually me at
Murray going out to ...

Hey guys it has been a couple of tough months for me for fishing. Got striped a couple of times at local lakes and even the bay! With fish seemingly hiding from me I just decided to head back to El Cap and try that out. It was a super beautiful day on the lake and only ...

Hit Wohlford on Saturday for a recon trip. My buddy Bryn called up saying he was stuck in Escondido and needed to catch a Bass. Not a lot of Daytime options right now for some epic style fishing so I found some info on Wohlford and ran down, picked up Bryn and hit the Lake. It was $72 for two ...

Decided to take the cheaper fishing route(a recent new roof set me back $$,$$$$) so I headed down to the SD River for a morning session.
The last time I was there it was really stained and flooded via the tons of water being released from El Capitan. This time the water had
gone down to almost back ...

I figured you were running down to look for more Salmon…..

Got out early at Lower Otay on Wednesday. Crowds were light and I picked up a few bass early AM on finesse swimbaits over the top of the grass. Once the sun came up things slowed down shallow so I went looking for Shad schools out deep. Picked up a couple more 1-2lb bass down in the 40ft range ...

Slow day for me today. There was absolutely NO breeze today which made it really tough to get bit once the sun got high. Managed 3 early fish on Flukes with the biggest going 4.36. Best fish I’ve gotten out of there in a while. Caught it in about 6” of water busting shad. Definitely less fish in the ...

Things were a grind today at the Murr. I fished for 6 hours, and located some large schools in 40+ feet of water. They were suspended 7-10 feet from the bottom. I dropped everything in my box on their heads with nary a nibble.

Finally I switched over to ultralight gear and managed to bring in 3 ...

It was cold when I woke up and had not planned to go fishing as my goal was to stay warm...ha ha. Anyway as the morning dragged
on it started to wear on me and it was well after 9a.m. and I decided to load up some gear and hit the SD River for a few hours. Had
a jacket on, but it warmed up enough ...

A few years back myself and few SD buddies made the trip up North to fish this awesome lake. Guys, let me tell you..Clear Lake is a BASS factory!

My new reel arrived yesterday. I pre-ordered it over a month ago. It's an Ark Gravity BFS reel. I paired it with a Ray Fishing 7 ft Tarantula finesse rod, and spooled it with 6lb. nanobraid and a 6lb. flourocarbon leader.

If you'd have told me yesterday that I could cast a tiny 1/16 oz. (or smaller ...
