Hey all,
It was a fun day at Lake Poway. I only fished for a couple of hours and only got 2 bites. Fortunately, the fish were 10.22lbs and 7.52lbs! So. Much. Fun! It's been a few years since I got a DD and the feeling never gets old. Both were bed fish that I caught on jigs. I have a feeling this ...

WOW!!!!
VERY NICE JOB CHRIS AND CONGRATULATIONS!
Thank you so much for sharing
catching those 2 hogs with us.
Tight lines always

So just FYI, I took down the video from Youtube. I didn't realize at the time or when I posted that there are no longer boats allowed in Hidden Bay. It hasn't always been like that and the sign is in the middle of the bay and I was so focused on looking for fish I didn't see it. I am a rule follower ...

Another Sunday, another 4 mile walk...with some fishing. Went late, got to ticket purchase around 1:30...then over to the other side for a walk to the dam. I always tell myself that I am going to walk fast to the dam and then fish slow on the way back...but that never happens. I decided to stick ...

Yes, at least the only 2 of decent size that were not being fished by someone else. The day before Jed Dickerson broke the lake record with a 14-8.

Ok, Update! I have prided myself on my integrity my whole life. Period! If people want to mess with me over a simple mistake, I get it. No worries. I’ll do better next time. So, that being said I’m going to leave this video as “Unlisted” with a new thumbnail and updated description explaining what ...

Been over a week since I fished last so I decided to hit Murray. I had thought of going up to the Lake of D & K, but a cold weather forecast up there helped change my mind. Too stubborn to fish the tulles I searched and searched for shad balls and wasted a lot of fishing time. Hours went by and not ...

Fantastic fish! Fishes? Thanks for the inspiration Chris. And don’t worry about the haters — sounds like an honest mistake.

Quick stop on the way home from work and no skunk...that is all that matters. Lot of younger fisherman working the gigantic glide baits and trout looking swimbaits...but I was mostly working old faithful...the weightless Texas plastic worm...seems like it works...

Poway and other clear water lakes that you so called fisherman like to haunt this time of year should ban ripping the big fish off of beds. I don't recognize your catch. I don't question anyones Character Knowledge or Skill Level but, this is not fishing and it concerns me that other fisherman on ...

Snagging season is here. Come on man. If you shoot a black bear from a helicopter is that hunting or you grow an oat patch and when deer season opens you kill animals you been feeding all year. Poway and other clear water lakes that you so called fisherman like to haunt this time of year should ...

Nice day at The Captain. I only had about 3 hours to fish but with Murray closed I decided on a quick trip to El Cap.

I didn't get on the water till after 9 and picked up a few drinks and clones casting a jig to rocky bank areas. It started pretty slow, but I finally found a pattern. The larger ...

This past weekend, I linked up with Phantom and El Japo for a kamikaze trip up to Lake Nacimiento — and as usual, what a trip it turned out to be.

We hit the road from Los Angeles at 10 PM, which already felt like a throwback to those reckless road ...

Can't see why we would try to split hairs on ripping lips. You are going out and imbedding hooks into a fish's mouth no matter if they are being preyed upon by anglers in the means of hunger or instinct. Let focus on instinct; a bedding fish is biting out of instinct to protect it's bed and a ...

Good to see you out there Dan. I saw him pick up a couple on his way in as I was at the dock playing with my spot lock. I think it's finally fix. Fun day for me too.

Well I thought it would be a good morning to pay a visit to fellow SDFish bass fishermen Mcfish and Fisheromen on their home lake. Yes, I decided to venture off a lot further than my normal less than 2 mile drive to Murray, to the Lake of D & K. My first visit this year and was greeted by Mcfish in ...

Fun day at the home lake today! I was hoping that it would produce today since I talked Vinny into making the trip out to my neighborhood! The pattern today was pretty much the opposite of last week! I got into a shallow bite today that wasn't around last week. The fish were mostly fun clone size ...
