Or a part time rock band when they are not fishing.

Really enjoyed the pic!
What we have here is basically a Bass All-Star Team photo of some really great bass fishermen!
All I know is that the tough bass fishing you experienced today was not because of a lack of talent.
Geez......I keep looking at the photo and the bass must of been lined up ...

I'll be there this morning brother...trying to work on my technique to become like you master baiters.

Dan, I also feel like a small child learning in a group like that. It's one of my favorite things about fishing is hanging around with others and learning new things. There's a couple videos with Chris teaching me to jig fish, clearly he's patient and clearly I need help. Ahaha. Looking forward to ...

I got on the lake at 8 am with trepid hope in my heart, tied a little 2" crankbait on my BFS combo and kicked out with a silent humble prayer to the fishing gods. About 20 minutes in I felt a bump and low and behold...A FISH! I have to tell you I got far too excited over a panfish, but after the ...

Few bites, A few fish and 1 biggin. But not the right kind!
This is a view of the dang thing hanging around 15' for ever.
Another surprise was the water temp up 3 degrees from last Wednesday.
Oh and ignore the fat neck.

"Blades, Ice Jigs & Spoons..oh my!" was the theme today at Murray. Decided to give it a go after some inspiration by yesterdays post by Dannicus. Fumbling around at home I did not get on the water till around 8:45.I tossed a few swim baits near the ramp and shoreline but it already started to warm ...

Chuck ( 619bassin ) and I hit lake Baccarac in Mexico for the last few days. We had fished the lake together four years ago and had a blast back then.

Left San Diego via Tijuana to Los Mochis Sunday morning, a 1.5 hour flight and a 2.5 hour van ride, arriving there late Sunday afternoon. Grabbed ...

Hello all,

Well I always say a plan is a list of things that won't happen. Was thinking about going to Hodges but on the way, went to El Cap instead. It's a commitment, because it's an hour away versus 10 minutes.

It was a good move. Got out at about 0700, and the water was 54F with a light wind ...

Went to Otay Sunday and it was the first time on the water since November 1st so I was just excited to be out on the water as far as the fishing it was a little slow for me only managed one to hand and lost a few saw alot of followers on the scope with reaction baits but no one wanted to commit ...

Hey that old adage still holds true; the worst day of fishing is better than the best day working.

I got to Murray this morning forgetting it was the second Tuesday of the month and it was closed, so I pivoted and went to Mission Bay instead.

I launched from Dana Landing at around 8:30 and the tide was high. I landed a couple of small spotties among the anchored boats, when Fish and Game pulled ...

Unless you are a pro fisherman, then there's a cross over.

It's stocking week at the pond. Which means I'll have the following interaction about 15 times a day this week:

"Did they stock yet?!"

"No."

"Damn! Do you know when they're gonna stock?"

"No."

A few moments later, the same $hit happens, with someone asking:

"Did they stock yet?!"

I need ...

Putting the time in.... Low crowds are always good in my book. You keep putting the time in like you do, and the rewards will come =) I know... preaching to the choir.
Thanks for the report and videos.

Which is the very reason I never pursued that path....I like my fishing to be the opposite of work lol.

After reading the article I'm surprised no one spotted the body on there electronics.
Pourboy how can it be tasteless?

After a good year of re-learning the game after about 20 years out, I decided to take the spotty skills I’ve built up to a small local lake before (and during) the storm this week. With almost no largemouth experience as a kid, I was hoping the time I’ve spent consuming YouTube, SDFish and other ...
