Nice job out there!

At least you went...

I wonder where the water is coming from? Sutherland or El Cap? Sutherland needs to be drawn down just to be able to launch properly.

I haven't been to El Cap all year. Lets us know how you do!

Water level is still low and made launching a little tough. Fishing was tougher. Fished a lot of different depths and flies to catch 2 blue gill. Probable 2 weeks away from being able to use launch ramp.

My favorite Lake is getting over the water fluctuating blues. Had a good day.

Str8t up Bullgills!

Beautiful and Hard Fighting. Pound for Pound one of the badest species that swims.

It's always fun running into those big chested ones.

The kids have been ready for another trip since we did so well @ Hodges a couple of months ago. I've been hearing the bluegill bite was on @ Otay so I thought we would give it another try. I say another try as I've taken the kids here a few times and we never seem to have a good day. My son labeled ...

Had an awesome morning ultralight fishing this morning at Otay. Caught over 30 chunky bluegills. I was jigging 3 inch Yamamoto shad shaped worms and a small 2 inch sinking jerkbait. What a great time!

Very Nice!!! Did the same thing on Saturday while looking for crappies. Thanks for sharing!

Had another awesome day at Murray with my new BFS rod and reel and some Z-Man micro chatterbaits. I just love my new setup when I want to go extreme finesse! I caught 6 of these bad boys on the day and 2 small bass. :arrow:

Happy New Year everyone and tight lines in 2024!

Got this guy as bycatch during a recent trip with a crank bait. 7lbs on the boga probably the biggest I'll ever catch. Thought it would be cool to share.

The Crappie Mecca!

Wish it was me...

Since I have nothing to report on the subject thought I'd share this really cool video of "Fishing Addict" out killing the 2 pound slabs. I watch a lot of his videos and he has that lake and live scope dialed in. He didn't have his scale. A few might had ...

Looks like there may be more rental boats buzzing around this year, it was so great with only like two on the lake last year

Literally TWO weeks away

Nice!

Nice catch Chuck! Got some slabs redears there. Some good eats!

Congrats on a good day. Those are nice fish. Much different lake at forty feet higher than last year. I'm still looking for a new honey hole. Good talking with you yesterday.

Nice job out there Chuck! Got some Slabs in the mix. Thanks for sharing!

I’m just a guy who love fishing not an expert with 50 years of experience nor create my own lures. Just plain simple tube and this what I got.

Thanks for sharing, not many reports here.
It seems the big bullgill are in hiding.


I found a bunch of them along outside of weed edges about 8-10’ FOW. It is still a lot easier to get them once the weed get taller and thicker gonna be harder. They are really hug the bottoms, though. I go after ...
