If I did not know you better, I would think you caught three bass between 3 to 5 pounds and keeping it low-key…. but since you’re such an honest guy, I have to believe that you got three small bass. Getting on the water is always better then not getting on the water and catching bass no matter what ...

I got to the lake at 6:15, under dark, cold, cloudy, drizzly skies..which pretty much remained that way for the next 6 hours!! The lake seems about a month behind with the unseasonably cold spring we're having! I ended the day with 14 fish, mostly small males which I hadn't planned on fishing for ...

Great to see you back on the waters of San V again and posting on this new site. It used to be McFish Mondays and I never had to worry about you dropping in to Murray and trying to take over some of my spots(ha, ha ...just kidding of course). I bet it was pretty cool out there on Monday, but ...

Sounds good.....there should be some bass in there that love small Robo worms....

Hit Murray in my kayak yesterday morning(4/19) and then again this morning(4/20) only this time in my boat. There has to be some casting advantage especially in a boat being higher above the water(not related to 4/20 high..ha ha) but there really wasn't any.
Anyway, basically the same results ...

I was happy to see the fish I did, since it's my third time at San V and the other two times I only caught trees. I'm looking forward to it warming up, it's a nice place to fish. san V.jpg

The trees are always biting at San V!

Fun little trip to El Cap this morning. Night and day from last weekend were I managed 2 fish in 2 days.
Mostly worm fish, with an underspin bonus. Tight to or in cover was the key for me. Managed a mission to get one of my catches out of a bush that involved me keeping pressure on the fish for 5 ...

I launched my kayak at Otay for the evening bite. It was slow fishing, however managed to a catch few dinks. Water is the highest I’ve ever seen it at. Most fish caught shallow and tight to structure. Water temps on the colder side.

Launched at San V early morning. They had a night tournament the ...

Hitting 2 different lakes in 2 days......Sweeeeeeeeet!
From semi murky water to clear water really can test a fisherman.
I remember those days and need to try to do that a few times this year.
Anyway, nice job out there and thanks for sharing(love the pics!)

Been a good couple of weekends. Can’t wait for the next couple
Of months. Going to be good with all this water.

The heartbreak is you get turned around on the quagga mussel inspection 90% of the time from a ridiculous reason. Example, a eucalyptus leaf that fell in your boat the morning you drove up and you missed it. Or condensation.

After much praying on the way there, we passed the inspection. What a ...

Post is below

Don't know how this happened

But it must be a part of getting old.

Hey...speaking of old....Today is McFish's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY McFISH!

He is old, but a heck of a great guy and fisherman.

oh yeah...my post is below ...ha ha

Hit Murray this morning(like you guys did not see that coming...ha ha) and it was cool and overcast. I heard of a few topwater stirrings from my buddy Larry who wrangled in some recent topwater bass, so I was ready. It is still a little early for topwater and should be going off a lot better as we ...

Thanks Stringbean for the heads up.
It's nice to have the new site up. San Vee was good to me also. 5 green monsters (at this point any fish is a monster). It's been a tough beginning this year for me. I can remember being blanked as much as I have this year. I was starting to question my abilities ...

Any pics of the big one?

Nice work Vinny!

Water 70+- and so GREEN!!!!! The whole lake!!! Visibility 6" at best.
Boated 3 males in the junk. Be a month before it's, at least, somewhat clear.

Way to find them JJ. Not easy when the water is like that.
I’m surprise the bass can see a pumpkin colored senko… ha ha
