If you fish basic bass fishing areas like the shoreline, or shoreline stick-ups, tulles or rocky areas along the shore, there is no point
in spending money for FFS. If it looks bassy, then throw your lure over to it is what I do. To find high spots or structure in deeper
water away from the ...

If I could afford it I would definitely have it. I don’t get to fish often so on the chance that I do get to go I want it to be as productive as possible. I love sight fishing and seeing how the fish react to my bait and presentation. As far as the tournament side goes. I think if you’re competing ...

I have FFS on my boat and i love it. Even though I have the old 32 version and only 9" screen. Hope to upgrade some day. It opens up a whole new adventure in fishing. When I first got it I did the bait balls and bass thing. Then I started using it to find structure, then fish on the structure, then ...

After 2 weeks of catching mostly dinks and one pounders, I finally got onto a bite today with better quality fish. 9 total fish all two plus pounds with the best going three and a half.

All in all a pretty fun morning.

That was and is a special lake. I’ve been fishing there for over 35 years. Back in the day, they didn’t care when you got on the water, we used to launch our tubes at 4am on the remote side by goat island. It could be almost every cast on an old hula popper in the dark. They definitely have some ...

Was there today Friday still open 5/16

Was thinking ramp was closed and have lake to myself but ramp was open I headed strait to back north arm after throwing buzz bait jackal 007 and bayou bullfrog saw no fish they were boiling on shad shallow would not hit topwater I switched to mooch minnow 1/8 oz head spinning reel 6lb first casts ...

For me, the fun in bass fishing, or fishing in general, is figuring out the bite. Some days I can do it, some days the bass win. To me, that is the best part of fishing. Trying to figure out the puzzle each time on the water.

While I understand FFS is viewed by many as just another tool. To me it ...

One of my dearest friends Timmy (in Oregon) has been following the potential lake closures in California, and I thought I'd share a meme he created thinking of me.

Got out in the water about 6:30 and there were about 5 trailers in the lot. Word must have gotten out that the lake was still launchable because by about 9:00 there were boats on almost every bit of exposed rock on the lake!

Caught 10 today. Biggest was just over 3lbs and best five probably went ...

Here is a pic of, what used to be, Boulder Bay and the depth in the middle of the lake outside of it.

Got to otay first thing was a tournament this morning started beginning south side Harvey got 3 or 4 on drop shot after getting broke off again to start the morning on neko I switched to bigger bait I threw 7” dolive beaver magnum for hours till I finally got a good fish my luck skinny big head 2.45 ...

Wondering if your line is bad? Had a rash of that lately. Very frustrating.


I think so yes I been lazy on replacing my leader lines I’m pretty sure that’s the issue after that 10 flouro leader yeah today I used my rods w 15 flouro no problems I change line on reels a lot depending on what I ...

They r saying the dams r the problem and they can’t b full because they need repair that’s their excuse to sell off our water and make money for themselves my theory

Had a 20 fish day or so Otay. Of course half of them were probably a pound each, but still fun. Caught 3 early on topwater walking baits, then a few on a small crankbait (including a slab Bluegill). Switched to a jig and caught a few more, then went on a tear with over 10 falling prey to a jerkbait ...

First post on the blog after using this for lure suggestions for almost a year (which have been super helpful). Saw Dannicus on his float while dropping my boat in. Had similar success. Caught around 10 on jerkbaits fishing in 3-4 feet along both arms (1-2 pound range). Have never seen the water ...

Made it out to Henshaw this past week to do a little bass and carp fishing. Started the morning off throwing at carp with the fly rod and picked off a few on a black leech before the wind kicked up. Switched over to conventional tackle and started flipping the tree's with a black and blue creature ...

Thanks for all the reply! Wow!! You guys have brought up somethings that I would have never thought of. I am going to go through and read your responses again, to really understand everyone's own point of views. Some of these response have given me another perception to what I thought it was all ...

It seems like forever since I fished Murray so I decided to head over and see what's happening.
Used reaction baits for a few active bass up near the surface, I stuck a little too long using reaction baits as overall there was not much surface action this morning and the sun was up early. I then ...

I just don't want to hear anymore, " just because you can see them, doesn't mean they'll bite"...yes, but it gives you a 99% advantage over the guy throwing to dead water! I've fished next to people with FFS in deep water and it was definitely an advantage for them...and myself, just knowing there ...
