Was on the lake heading to the Del Dios arm by 5;30 am . Didnt have much action picked up a couple clone fish but nothing to write home about. I threw shad raps, micro jigs, spinner baits and sencos > everyone i talked too was saying it had slowed down. About 9;30 I put on a finesse football jig on ...

You’re suppose to post it and say you caught it on a glide bait.

Ok Boys. I honestly don’t know if I have the words to describe the day I had today.

This was a day that will likely live with me forever! I can honestly say that I have never experienced a day like I had today, and that includes fishing Barrett years ago when it first opened back up!

I don’t ...

Been out at my favorite local body of water a lot lately as things have been pretty fun there. 3 trips over the past week and all of them produced fish, mostly of the 2lb+ variety but nothing bigger than 3 and change.

Pattern has been a little different every day. Saturday morning was all power ...

My son came into town for the Easter weekend so we headed out into a rainy morning to see what we could find. Only three boats out there that I know of.

Headed to the scene of the crime of my last trip, Barona of course. Started the day out with a solid 3.7 on my third cast with a Senko. Picked up ...

I wrote a much more detailed report but it vanished when I tried to add pics. 7.53 lbs on a pointer 65 jerkbait! Sutherland!

Hiking in Yuma. 11-3 on the homemade slug. 20 lb mono

Haven’t been on SDfish too much lately but I decided to post this catch. I was planning on taking out the kayak but didn’t want to go through the hassle of loading it up so instead, I went on the bank. I saw some fish busting so I decided to throw a small 2.8 Keitech on an underspin. I got caught on ...

SAN DIEGO— It’s no secret that bass fishing at Barrett Lake tends to rate at various levels of “epic” for most of the season, and because of that, it takes a significant occurrence earn a headline. A double-digit largemouth historically does the trick ...

The fat one bit a Mattlure hard wake gill at first light.

Hey everyone, not new to the forum but new to posting. I went out to Hodges with the goal of catching a PB. After grinding away for a couple of hours, I met another fisherman who was having some luck with crank baits. I have zero confidence with crank baits but patterns are patterns so I tied on a ...

Went for a walk with the 3 amigos. Caught several fish on each lure. Biggest was shy of 5 on a Matt waker.

When I reordered a Tsurinoya Flicker 70 from Aliexpress (see my previous post about a new lure) it was so cheap I decided to pick up a couple of other lures as well including its little brother which came in at 50mm, (under 2 inches) and 3 grams.

After catching probably 2 dozen dinks (1 pound or ...

Been a minute since I had anything worth sharing. I’ve been hitting El Cap for the last few weeks and been killing the 6-10” bass! Shallow, 10-15ft, breaking fish, didn’t matter, almost everything I caught was still in diapers.

Two weeks ago I noticed that in the front of the lake the fish were ...

It was a T rig and jig morning, got a nice surprise pulling the chatter over a snag.

11-12

Evidently some guys got upset that I shared this story and bait. They told VinnyBass to talk to me about it. Well sorry if I offended anyone, but I thought this site was about sharing catches, baits, techniques that work etc... I mean I always appreciate hearing from you guys regarding what's ...

The clock hadn't hit 11 am and Edna from Accounts Receivable had gotten on my last nerve. Usually this happens around 3 pm, but this was a new record for her. All morning, she had been asking ME , the Sr Project Manager, when we started billing a new client of ours, when SHE , the head of Accounts ...

I know a guy who fishes the pond who is one of those "I Only Throw Swimbaits" guys. He eats, sleeps and $hits swimbaits. A few days ago, he had made his way down from the parking area, with what seemed to be yet another gargantuan sized plastic swinging from the end of his 9 foot setup. He began ...
