Always such a pleasure to be out there fishing with you fine gents. My final count was 5 on a combination of topwater and jigs. It certainly was a beautiful day.

I'm guessing you mean the 7/11, just a quick recommendation, after our fishing day we ate at the Mexican Restaurant in that complex, it's excellent and really well priced.

That's too bad about your rod. Those El Cap fish fight like they really mean it. Little tunas they are.

Always a pleasure fishing with you guys! It’s slowed down the last couple trips out for me, but getting out with friends is always a good time.

Is this a normal Sunday thing?

Was on vacation and between doing lots around the house have not been fishing much. Yeah caught some dinks the week before last at Murray, but nothing to get too excited about. Since I haven't posted for a while, I decided to post a quick report from fishing the SD River this morning. The water has ...

Missed three weeks of top water fun as I was working in Italy. Got some at Otay last week and today at Miramar had some more topwater action. Absolutely a gorgeous day with only one other boat on the water.

May as well show a couple of my images from Italy, huh?

Cool pics OM!

Have you ever tried surface lures for LMB? they're pretty fun.

Nice job out there Michael. Always can visualize you holding a bass with ...

Hey! its been a good minute!! Hope everybody is out catching fish! Or at least trying to!

I made my way back to where I was born Beautiful Las Vegas! Never thought I would end up back here but Home Sweet Home! I was lucky enough to have completed my tiny boat build and am having a blast fishing ...

Had a fun morning at the Cap with Early release , CorsoEnthusiast , and Pourboy . I only caught 3 includingnone swimbait fish, and a couple on topwater Gunfish. Jeremy did the best of all of us, and held down the fort with around 7 I believe. He put on a Neko rig clinic.

To be fair though we weren ...

Float tube is my favorite way to fish. Some prefer kayak or boat, a few prefer shore. Lots of others on this site who like the tube.

Nice setup Chris! I recently scored an awesome deal on a Sevenbass tube, so I’m a new fan of the European tubes as well haha. I’ve got it rigged up with a Humminbird Helix 5, and just need to get a lithium battery to run my trolling motor on the mount it came with. The only downside is the storage ...

This is my tube. Chris's model is the newest one Float Plus makes, and an upgrade over mine. Both models are awesome. Really thought out and intelligently designed. Mine took a bit of getting used to at first, but after having it for several months, I really love it.

It really looks sweet. Hoper to fish with you guys again soon

Finally got into some nicer fish at Murray. Final count was 5. All fish were over two pounds with one going 3.5 and another was 4.5. It really was a beautiful early December day.

Nice to have a day that wasn't a total dinkfest :D

The water is turning at the SD River...it is murky and green stained and also cold now. Put those things together and it was tough fishing. Did get 2 small bass on a Flashy swimmer with a Keitech trailer and got one bass flippin' a creature bait.
It was the biggest of the small bass so I included a ...

Picked up 9 total at the Murr yesterday. It was great seeing Dfishin out there too!

I got on the water at around 8'30 and was off by noon. The day started with busters on the top. I picked up 4 on a small Gunfish. After surface action slowed I switched to a Griffon MR-X, and picked up 3 more. I ...

Back for another quick river session as I decided to try something different after catching nothing but dinks over at Murray. I mean I have worked hard and only been ending up with small bass. Anyway....after tons of casts into the green strained water of the SD River and time flying by, I finally ...
