Good memories there!

Very sorry to hear you will no longer be able to pursue your passion. At least you have a lifetime of memories to look back on.

I will always remember when I joined the old Sdfish and you were the very first person that sent me a message welcoming me to the site. That was really special. I always loved Clint Eastwood and his movies and when I saw your icon, I knew you were a great guy from day one. Thank for sharing so many ...

Hey Larry. Thanks for all the tips you have provided over the years. Especially early on at Hodges. You put Maurice and I on many good bites. I have always appreciated you! Take Care Buddy!

Murray bass .jpg The cold weather and water level fluctuating up and down has not helped the bass fishing at Lake Murray. It has been a tough bite with smaller fish as a reward after a lot of hard work recently. Good news as the action should be picking up now that we may be in for some warmer ...

Fished a couple hours each morning for 3 days. Caught some nice ones.

All caught on ikas, flukes, or senkos. The weather this winter has made the spring bite funky. Not getting as many bites as I usually get on reaction baits this time of year.

Two thumbs up bud!

Yeah, reaction was nil for me Jan. and Feb. Four trips out w/ stripes every time, even went d/s at Cap the last time, backseater and I still got the stripe in 5 hours of trying. Haven''t fished since. That, plus knee went out from kneeling on he ground to paint a painting for 4 ...

First of all, thanks to whomever saw the need to start this new site! It is very much appreciated!

As many of you know I frequent Sutherland on most Fridays. This year I am attempting to fish an entirely differently lake. It is 40 feet deeper that the lake I fished in the fall! On the opener the ...

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!)
Tight lines

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