I’m sorry to hear about your dad. My dad didn’t even fish, I actually got it from my stepdad and brother in law. Dad would take me to Loveland and drop me off, go sit in the truck and read a book or nap somewhere. Then he got me a 14’ valco we hot-rodded and would just sit in the boat the entire ...

Decided to make my first trip out to what is known here at “the lake of D&K” in 30 years this morning. As fate would have it, turned into an SDFish party out there!

I only fished till about 10am but ended up with 5 landed and 3 lost. Worm fish all of them except for one.

Will definitely return ...

Haven't been back to the lake since April 12 and boy did the water level rise. It takes a lot longer to get there than going to Lake Murray
and arrived a little after 6 a.m. As I parked next to McFish's truck, both he and Fisheromen already were out on the water. But wait, I
turn to the right and ...

Awesome post. No one is ever really gone brother and of course he saw you. Congratulations on a great fish and an excellent day.

I know somehow it was Vinnybass that planned this surprise party! I hope he got Fisheromen's permission first! A fun time was had by all, even though Vinny was a little grumpy at first after missing some hooksets..fortunately he got his mojo back! I ended the day with 15 clones and broke off 3 fish ...

I don't remember being warned when growing up that when you get into your 60s and 70s, you lose many of your friends and loved ones! I had convinced myself that my parents, relatives, and friends would always be there...and then my Mother passed away and reality hit me! Then having friends my age ...

Oh hell yeah Mcfish. Those that get it do though. It's my zen meditation. Being part of the moment, soaking in the universe and all time. Honestly, catching fish is a blast but fishing is far more soul edifying to me.

Days like those make you appreciate the fantastic days where you can do no wrong. My Pops always said the best thing about fishing is Practice , Practice, Practice. You got to keep aiming for the zone, if you don’t hit some limbs, you aren’t close enough. Accuracy comes with persistence. You will ...

Otherwise known as I’m ready for this May weather to go away. Arrived just after the gate opened and second to launch. Except we didn’t. It was near white capping straight from the east and darn chilly. Gave it 30 minutes and headed out. First stops were all along the eastern wind protected side of ...

Condolences. I know that nothing eases that pain, but that's a beautiful fish nonetheless.

found this swim bait last week at Murray if you lost it, tell me where you lost it you can have it back.

Swim bait been recited with owner.

That's a very nice thing you are doing!

match the hatch...

It's been about a month since I fished the SD River. A buddy who fishes the river often told me last night that he has caught only
one bass after 3 trips and his buddy got skunked yesterday. I figured what the heck.. and so for a change of pace I decided to fish
it for a few hours this morning ...

I started the day with a couple small fluke fish, then went a couple hours with nada! I threw alot of different baits in the next couple hours, only coming up with a couple more clones. Every time I thought I was putting together a pattern..I was wrong! At noon, I made a move to one of my favorite ...

16 bass between Hodges on Wed. and Murray on Fri. all on this new little crankbait I just got that's about the size of my thumb. It's an Evergreen PC-5 in Baby Bluegill color. Dives quickly to 10 feet and runs perfectly true out of the box. It's a bit pricey at $15, but I can't argue with the ...

A couple of real nice ones there. I agree with the amount of refuse at Hodges. Many years ago I was near the bridge with my mom just walking the shoreline. We saw a grebe about 40yds out acting real funny. I realized he was hung up on some line that was wrapped on some submerged structure. I ...

Arrived at Otay just as they opened the gate, and launched my tube from North Point. No sooner had I kicked out than the bass started busting all around me.

Caught my first 5 on a topwater walking bait. Then switched over to my little deep diving crankbait. Caught 11 more bass and 8 really large ...

Awesome story and report! Yes I have found them, cleaned them up and fished them, just as I hope someone finds lures I've lost and put them to use!

Great job and found lures always catch fish!!
