Too bad the water is not going right into Murray to the water level so I could pitch Tokyo rigs into tulles like I used to years ago. That’s not happening because they can’t raise the water over a certain level now at Murray so it’ll never be like it was about three years ago. Anyway, nice ...

Took me 20 mins get this before gate closed got there at 7pm Vinny got a nice one on craw so I went landed this on the dolive 4”

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 ...

Best day of the year so far at Murray. Caught a dozen fish, and all but two of them were over 2 pounds. Plus three nice ones, a 3.2 pounder, a 3.7 pounder and a 4.3 pounder.

It isn't the most fish I've caught at Murray this year but definitely the most quality. All on BFS gear.

Part of the love I have for fishing is the fact that I'm always learning. If I said that I would rather rely on what I've learned in the past, and no longer was interested in learning, my next step would to sell all my gear. ;-)


That's the exact part that I love about fishing, always learning ...

After some quality bigger fish yesterday it was back to clones at Murray today. I actually wasn't going to post, but I just had to share a picture of this pretty clone I caught. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It had the most beautiful golden almost orange tone to it. Very dark and vivid ...

Roosevelt!

I mean since you asked lol BFS...BFS...BFS.

Rad day at Murray. I stopped counting at 30 fish. Lots of bass in the high 2 pound range and 3 fish over 3 pounds. Also caught the biggest bluegill I've ever seen. Fat as hell. It's mouth was big enough for my scale and it weighed in at 2.54 lbs.

So much fun, it almost makes me regret leaving on ...

I could fish Lake Murray roughly 20 times vs one time on the round trip distance going from my house to the Lake of D & K, but it is always a fun adventure which makes it worth it. And besides, it is always a pleasure to run into fellow SDFish folks like Fisheromen and Mcfish . Started off kind of ...

It's always a fun time when you've got Vinnybass and Fisheromen on the lake with you! DK was in my wheelhouse today! I mixed it up today throwing various plastics and picked up 31 fish, mostly the clone variety...but fun, fun, fun! Mr. Vinny always inspires me to throw different baits, since he is ...

I heard it's suppose to be fine through the holiday!

I was there bank fishing to the left of the launch ramp and saw you guys come in. Heard something like float tube vs air craft carrier .
Seemed like the ranger just wanted to talk and talk and talk. I left with 8 from the bank in 2 1/2 hours, biggest like 2 1/2#

Same guy! He's a regular on Ramona wildlife websites! He has some good photos...if they are actually his......


You might laugh, but birding is a highly competitive pastime and there is some amount of fame and fortune for the top birders and their pics and species observed. Would it surprise ...

Birding and photos are not much more different than trophy hunting for bass or animals. Scratches the same itch.

I should probably call it “Lago McFish” like
@JWall suggested because he has that lake wired.

Was fine this Saturday morning. Lots of boats launching.

"Ramona eagle enthusiast Mike Long has a passion for conservation"
Except when he is using a 5/0 XXX Owner Treble to snag spawning bass!

Finally got my new to me kayak out to the water. The day didn't start off great as a buried a treble hook just passed the barb into my finger. Luckily was able to get it out and keep on going! Ended up with four and lost one. Still learning to fish off the kayak but can't wait to get this out more!
