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

Don't you just hate using baits that work!!!?

This month I have been fishing alot at the SD river. I have spent a few trips to Sa V and Hodges also . I've been concentrating my efforts almost exclusively to finesse jigs. I have had considerable success with a round ball head in sizes less than 1/8 oz with weedgaurd and trimmed down skirts and ...

I wanted to fish Murray this morning even though the water level is down to inches from where the boat ramp ends. I figured this may
be my last trip for a bit until the water rises again so I carefully guided my kayak just over the rocks and headed out
in search of shad balls and bass. There are a ...

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.

I’m having the exactly same problem at my local Lake. Was so good last year I bought a yearly pass, and then maybe 4 Bass all Spring. I quit going and now head South to Newport Harbor for my Bass fix.

Was on the lake heading to the Del Dios arm by 5;30 am . Didnt have much action picked up a couple clone fish but nothing to write home about. I threw shad raps, micro jigs, spinner baits and sencos > everyone i talked too was saying it had slowed down. About 9;30 I put on a finesse football jig on ...

Spent my weekend at my favorite local body of water for a shore bang.

Maybe the most fun weekend of the year? Both days the bite was on fire early. Saturday I managed to get some worm fish later after the moving bait bite seemed to be exhausted, but they were dinks compared to the quality fish I’d ...

I thought it's almost July...didn't feel like it at 5:00 this morning! I woke up to 47 degrees...it should be more like 60 this time of year! The fish didn't seem too happy either! The first 3 hours were cold and foggy and the fish weren't having what I was throwing! Then the sun came out and the ...

Well after my last great session at Lake Hodges I went back yesterday and was on the water to early my old body was saying to me. I wanted to make it back to the structure I fished with great success my last time. It was a hell of a swim backwards even though i was using my new drill paddle i made ...

Sorry if the pics show up out of order...they go where they want, regardless of where I put 'em in the text.

Got that out of the way. Only 2 bass, saw a crap ton of 'em but they just weren't interested in what I was throwing. In a couple spots there were bluegill on the ...

Upper Otay has been repeatedly tested for oxygen and it remains super low to zero. No point in putting fish in if they cannot respire.

As far as Sutherland, we shocked that lake this spring and there were fish EVERYWHERE...600-700 bass over 12" in 6 hours. I know everyone C&R's just about every ...

Bait balls of shad and good amounts of bluegill for as cold as it was. We were done by May when they really start to push shallow.

With excessive heat warnings, I decided to go over to Murray this morning before the heat arrives. I am so used to fishing out of a kayak or boat with lots of tackle but I did not want to carry a lot so I gathered a small assortment of reaction baits and off I went. I decided to just fish off the ...

Went over this morning(7/13) to look around and the water is creeping its way
slowly towards the bottom of the boat ramp.

Seems like the quality at the V is starting to get better! Nice work!

There's alot of fry to feed on now! No sign of silversides or shad though. The fish definitely have fatter bellies now!


Definitely saw some silverside activity up shallow early this morning. Quality theme kept going today ...

..as in victory over a bunch of healthy, hard fighting fish.

When my brother planned his trip down here the first thing I did was book a guided trip with my buddy Andre Casey. As the trip date approached, San V was the clear choice with numbers still showing up and quality of the fish getting ...

Just do it Dannicus. The great thing about San V is there are plenty of Bass close to the Launch Ramp. Easily accessible, no long kick.

Did some BFS fishing at Otay this morning.  Caught 3 bass on a Mini Brushhog, and 3 large bluegill on a 2" jerkbait.  Fun mornin!

Hey all one of my goals for the new year is to step out and try lots of new fishing spots. I headed to Lake Mohave over the Christmas holidays and ended up getting blown out for the most part, literally. The day I got there the wind was blowing 30 ...
