Your rods leaning over must be annoying. Probably need a bungee to go from the bottom of the rack under the tube to the D-ring on the opposite side. Having to readjust your seat is pretty normal. Getting things dialed in is part of the challenge.


I built a stabilizer bar for it that connects to ...

Just for today..... I am going to save you guys from reading me babbling on and on.
So here are a few pics of some fish I caught in (McFish will be shocked again) water depths
around 25-35 feet of water.
Hopefully the warmer weather will spur up more action in closer. Tight lines :-)

Hover Bait ...

Enjoyed the video a lot as always Chris! Can’t wait to try out Hodges in my tube soon!

Hello all,

Got out bright and earlyish to Hodges. Something like 0630. No wind at all and water temp was 62F. Also no blanket of fog on the water, so you could see pretty well. Kind of made me miss the fog. Water was warm enough for me to poke around with the popper, and follow with the spinnerbait ...

Just checking in once again from Norcal...... as it is spawn/post spawn almost.... I stuck this 12.12 on a free rig brush hog just this past weekend after placing 6th in a 210 Kayak tournament on clear lake. Sharing fish is all I am here for! Once again its nice to drop in and read up on how the ...

Late post but had to share. Had a decent day on the water. Found a new spot today thanks to a generous fellow fisherman in line who was nice enough to show me. Ended up with 9 fish for the day. Had 1 on a spinnerbait first thing in the morning and then switched to a shakeyhead for most of the day ...

I got to the lake at sunrise, clear skies and a light breeze. Soon I noticed a fog bank crawling over the dam, followed by the wind picking up and in no time the lake was engulfed in fog with a 20' visibility! I'm guessing the lake is up another 8'-10' from 2 weeks ago, another challenge to deal ...

Had some success in deeper water recently and especially on my last trip to Murray, so I decided to just fish deep and use reaction baits only. Despite the late start(looked like like rain this morning), I ventured out away from the shoreline even though it looked inviting. I searched for shad balls ...

I had so much fun at El Cap last week I decided to go back today. I caught 9 really quality fish and 1 dink. All were on BFS gear and tiny jigs or a T-rigged tiny Brush Hog.

I tried throwing a full sized spinnerbait at some of the many busting fish, and some crankbaits too, but no takers on bigger ...

Great job thanks for the update!

Gotta love Sportsman’s! Great calamari and rolled fish tacos. And a good price on the pitcher of suds too!

There are a couple of no-nothing flats at Hodges that held bass back in the full pool days. Spinnerbaits and lipless cranks thrown as far as possible would produce. Without knowing for sure, I ...

I have never seen the article you are talking about but i have fished the big flats where the water use to come in via a stream by the entrance to the lake. When the lake was full there was tons of structure and tons of fish there to. I think even though the drawdown in the water level has created a ...

Featureless flats during the spawn can be epic. You can Chuck and wind lipless cranks without fear of getting hung up. When the bait does a sudden stop, it’s almost always a fish!

By the way, Pourboy, that fish is a stud, nice work!

Now that is what we're talking about......that is a nice bass!
Always fun to nail a fat one and your PB for 2024 so far. When you put it down to measure it you can really see how fat it was.
Nice job out there in the fog and great video as always.
Thanks for sharing and tight lines always.

Always great video work and that's a nice bass. Certainly would be a good personal best for all time even. Sorry I lost you in the fog. When I headed out, I kind of felt like I was pedaling a little longer than I should have been. I looked at GPS on my depthfinder and I was in the middle of the lake ...

Another fun video. Keep it up!

Another awesome video. Congratulations Chris!

Awesome!

Not sure on the no nothing flats. But I have caught bass in “the desert” many times. I can tell you, where you caught that big one and caught a few more, I’d be on that spot for a long time and not move. It’s hard to stay in one spot when you have the opportunity to constantly be on the move but I ...
