Hey all!

I did make it out on the last weekend at Hodges for the season. I was surprised to see a good number of people at the gate at opening. I had heard that it was slow lately but had to get out one more time. I got my first bite within 5 minutes of fishing on a ...

Nice Chris! I hope they fix all the lakes.

Best one in a while...and it was an adventure.

Bit of a long story, but I have to share.

So hooked this girl on the far side of the small opening and the fight was on...she even jumped a couple times and then...she got tangled in a patch of tulles and was completely stuck. What to do? Tried all ...

Got out on El Cap nice and early with Chris, Jeremy and Dan. Also saw Robert and his Father. Early morning wind was very light and variable. Water temp was still pleasant at 65-66. That always says top of the water column to me, since that's what I want to hear. Worked along the west side heading ...

Awesome! I’m at the gas pump right now and heading down.


I'm guessing you mean the 7/11, just a quick recommendation, after our fishing day we ate at the Mexican Restaurant in that complex, it's excellent and really well priced.


This too! Los Rancheritos is excellent and their portions are ...

Fun day at the Murr today. Nothing big, but final count was 9. They seemed really pissed off today, fighting like crazy on my BFS gear, so even without that DD it was still a lot of fun.

Another 9 at Murray today. I will post the baits in the BFS section.

Hi Vinny, I pretty much only can get a couple things there, and pretend I'm still a vegetarian although it's a pleasant fiction since the bean burrito or tostada is full of pork lard. I think it's legitimately good. Can't believe your circuit for fishing. I need a nap after a morning fish session ...

Was on vacation and between doing lots around the house have not been fishing much. Yeah caught some dinks the week before last at Murray, but nothing to get too excited about. Since I haven't posted for a while, I decided to post a quick report from fishing the SD River this morning. The water has ...

Missed three weeks of top water fun as I was working in Italy. Got some at Otay last week and today at Miramar had some more topwater action. Absolutely a gorgeous day with only one other boat on the water.

May as well show a couple of my images from Italy, huh?

Works tuff, right? Hahaha
Dream job!


Yeah, but someone's gotta do it, right?
Fourteenth trip to Italy, month per, can't get enough I guess.

My first trip to Italy netted me an image that won a Int'l photo competition!
This one, titled 'Ghost of Florence', took 'Best of Show, color, S.D ...

Hey! its been a good minute!! Hope everybody is out catching fish! Or at least trying to!

I made my way back to where I was born Beautiful Las Vegas! Never thought I would end up back here but Home Sweet Home! I was lucky enough to have completed my tiny boat build and am having a blast fishing ...

I haven't posted for a while so I figured I should let you know I'm still kickin'.

Murray has been a little tough the last couple of weeks. I've been averaging around 5-6 fish per day, but they've all been dinks and clones so I've mostly been foregoing pictures.

I actually saw the infamous Vinny ...

Nice job out there Dan.
Actually my last couple trips (one a while back and recent yesterday when were there) were pretty darn tough. I threw so many baits in those 2 trips that I could have broke a count clicker if I clicked on it every time a different bait went into the water. You actually are ...

Interested for sure

Been bass fishing for over 45yrs at many levels of competition. Now fish mainly for fun with my son or solo ...

It was a fun learning experience. The new ride is definitely taking some getting used to. I need to tweak some things and adjust others. I definitely did not fish as hard this time out.

I will have a full setup video coming soon.

Thought this was a perfect photo to show of me flying down Lake Murray blvd with my truck and boat instead of posting pics of small (and even tiny) bass I have caught recently at Lake Murray.
Actually I have not fished much at all this month and yeah recently at Murray caught one ...

Back for another quick river session as I decided to try something different after catching nothing but dinks over at Murray. I mean I have worked hard and only been ending up with small bass. Anyway....after tons of casts into the green strained water of the SD River and time flying by, I finally ...

Hey all. Been awhile since I posted a report and today provided the perfect occasion.
Woke up a bit later than I planned. Was concerned about the wind advisory but the forecast said 5-10MPH so I said F it and decided to go join Pourboy at El Cap.

It was cold as a witches teat when I launched ...
