Hey All, Just wanted to post a friendly reminder about covering up and using sunscreen, especially you younger guys.

This past Friday I had to have, what was thought to be, a dime sized spot of skin cancer removed from the left side of my forehead. Well once they started to remove it they found ...

Welp, summer has come to a close up on the high prairie and soon all the trout will start getting active for the winter. It definitely has been a slow summer, as we had a dry-ish winter up here, and a lot of the reservoirs had more water drained out of them than water flowing in. I caught a few ...

Hey all,
I got to head back out to Miramar for a couple of hours 2x this week. I just wanted to get on the water and decompress. If I got bass that would be a bonus. Both days ended with only 3 fish each. I guess for 2-3 hours of fishing that isn't that bad. The water was down a foot from the last ...

Hey all,
Headed back to Miramar to see if anything had changed. Got 1 whopper plopper and a couple on a t-rigged ZMan Mag Fattyz (biggest was 3.46). Then came back a couple days later and got 1 on a Ned Shot Rig (ZMan trick shotz in Meat Dog). The fish have gone deep ...

Sometimes you just need a little break and decided it was time again to hit Murray in the morning before it gets too hot. Did not get an early start as I finally was on the water around 7:45a.m. Not much surface action so I decided to flip a little with a Tokyo rig. I probably mentioned it a number ...

Anytime you have a 15 fish day it's a good day right? Especially when over half of them look like this behemoth!

Wait....could this be construed as a clickbait title?

Actually numbers wise Murray has been pretty good the last couple of days, but it's all been dinks and clones for me. Saw some big ...

I did a little better today. Still mostly clones but a couple over 3 lbs. as well.

Hit Murray with my buddy Joe this morning. The surface was basically dead as did not see any busters so it was soon worm time. Using a variety of worms, creature baits, flukes. etc., we picked up some clones here as there as it was a little later morning bite. Missed a few bites comes along with the ...

Had a pretty good day at Murray finally. I got tired of 4-5 fish days, so I decided to go back to the BFS basics that I know work day in and day out. Final count was 18 all in the 1-2 pound range (as Vinny would call them, clones), so definitely a quantity over quality day. Still they were all ...

The original post was written by DJ Thrillz . Unfortunately it was lost along with the old SDFish forums.
This is an amazing article that will help you catch fish in SD bay, so I figured it has to be re-posted here.

The fishing in SD Bay is simply amazing. You basically have a buffet of fish to ...

Before we really start diving into everything, I found a map that may be very helpful as you read through this article. If it isn’t clear enough, here’s a link to download the full-size file.

Hey all,
I headed out last Sunday to Mission Bay with the hopes to make a video about making lure fishing easier. I wanted to showcase 3 baits that are easy for anyone to catch fish with on the bay. The first was the chatterbait. I used both the traditional bigger bait ...

Typical session this morning catching spotties then snagged a monster. Was thinking hali at first but after awhile it became dead weight. Towed me around Mariners and finally was able to beach and land the huge mud marlin on 10 lb. Was a fun surprise. Thanks

Comes through again. Another "never been fishing in my life" person gets fish on Gulp at the pier. 2 baby yfc in 15 minutes

Started at CP at roughly 7am worked down to tower 15 by 11am.

Overcast, strong surf, Salad non existent at the pier but got progressively worse as I worked south.

Still crab beds under pier and between 20-21 at high to mid tide

Day started strong with a decent guitar and 4 back to back cast perch ...

Here is a picture of the bait that did most of the damage at Murray yesterday.

It's a Rapala Crush City Ned BLT on a 1/0 EWG hook. The weight is a Nako skirted 1/8 oz.

I like to focus on rocky areas with it, but it's lightweight, and extremely weedless. You can work it over and through grass and ...
