Congratulations Vinny! Amazing Catch! These are the rewards of the grind.

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 ...

A red badge of courage! Glad he is ok. I don't think the weather should have much effect. I will be there on Sunday as well. I look forward to seeing you guys out there! We can compare notes. Cheers!

So with these high end tubes, what’s the reason for not building out a kayak for roughly the same cost? Why give up the extra maneuverability of a yak?

I can only speak for myself, but I like the feel of fishing from a tube better than fishing from a kayak. I may not be able to go as fast or as ...

All pads and d rings glued on, motor, battery, fish finder and rod holders mounted. Fold up wheels installed. Swing away bait tray mounted. Yep, she's ready for her maiden voyage tomorrow.

I can't wait to hear all about ...

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 ...

Great job! I feel like I could have written almost the same words. Love. My. Jigs. Cheers!

Hey all,
I managed to get out to El Cap in the tube and man it was eerie! No boats on there was awesome and horrible at the same time. I know that we all understand the lakes situation but I am going to make lemonade while lemons are in season.

I started off throwing ...

Cats eat jigs a cap. At least that’s what I would hope it to be vs a swamp donkey.


Yes, I've gotten my fair share of kitties there on jigs. I have no idea which it was. That being said what didn't show was the giant swirl on top of the water after it broke. The fact that it was already near the ...

Hey Dan that was a super fun time on the lake. You definitely outfished us on that day but it was still a blast. I'll put a link to the video when it comes out. Cheers!

Finally! I've been super busy, but finally got it out today.

Great job getting on them!

I've never seen that one before. Nice!

Great seeing you at the ramp. I ended up landing 9 and losing a bunch more including one giant that straightened the hook on my jig. And yes it was a bass not a cat. I lost it on the jump. Video coming soon.

Oh man! Best wishes on a speedy recovery. I hate the green goop. At least you got a few.

Nice to see you guys out there man! I ended up getting 6 fish. 5 on plastics and 1 on topwater. The topwater was the biggest (2.4lbs) but was not on camera due to a glitch. It has definitely slowed down over the past couple of weeks for me.

Hey all!

I did make it out on the last weekend at Hodges for the season. I was surprised to see a good number of people at the gate at opening. I had heard that it was slow lately but had to get out one more time. I got my first bite within 5 minutes of fishing on a ...

Great getting out there and getting some fish. I ended up with 5 landed and a couple others came off. It was super fun getting out there. I got 1 jig, 1 walking bait and the rest on the magic swimmer. We ended up leaving around 1pm. Yes, the Mexican food was awesome! The bean and cheese burrito was ...

Nope, not a normal Sunday thing. Just forces brought us together on that day. Cheers!

Hey all!
I finally made it back out onto Mission Bay Friday for a couple hours. The tide had very little water movement, but I still wanted to get out there. I tried some new baits for me from Hook Savvy Baits and ended up really liking their small swimbaits on the 1/8oz ...
