That is definitely something I have had happen in the past. That’s why I quit using unpainted dropshot weights. I pour my own dropshot weights so I always color them either green or brown to try and eliminate that.

Late report. Fished San V on Friday from 8-1pm. Water temp started at 55 and crept up to 56-57 by the time I left. Started looking around shallow for the first hour but didn't get any bites on jerk baits or wacky rigged senko's. Went back to the old faithful drop shot Roboworm and started getting ...

Headed out onto a very rainy lake this morning with two other boaters who were crazy enough to head out into the rain. I should probably be living in the Pacific Northwest because I LOVE the rain and especially fishing in it! My bilge pump kicked on about every 15min or so pumping out a few gallons ...

LOL!! I love it!!

I only have two days a week right now that I can fish and I’ll be damned if a “little” weather is going to get in the way

Hey again,
Here is Part 2 of the trip if anyone is interested. Part 3 will be out a week from today. Cheers!

I've been absolutely killing it at Murray. Fishing my BFS setup with a 1/16 oz Keitech Mono Spin jig paired with a Z-Man 2.5 inch TRD Crawz. Both in green pumpkin. I must have caught 20 keeper sized bass in my last 2 trips.

On for this 10lb. Yo-Zuri braid to a 10 lb. flouro leader. On my ultralight I run 6lb PE nanobraid to a 4lb. flouro leader.

The small stuff works but if you want the Big Girls, throw them some meat. The Females will suck down Crawdads to get calcium for their eggs, mostly though, they will eat any meal that is easy to catch. A minimum of effort. They are slowed down by the cool water. If you were to dive down(I have) and ...

Got another 4 today. So much fun on light gear.

Here is your weekly Thursday San V report. To quote Ice Cube “ Today was a good day”

Ended up boating 16 today. My best numbers there in a while. When I got back to my area I immediately saw a couple of fish breaking in the bushes, which I haven’t seen in a few weeks. Ended up getting 6 in the ...

I just put this clip together guys. These are my personal favorite areas for freshwater fishing in Ca I have personally visited. I fish Bass probably 90 percent of the time but enjoy all types of fishing. I based this list on this......Cost? Lodging availability? Things to see and do? Great fishing ...

Bluebird skies + ZERO breeze until 2:30 - an algae bloom + 20ft visibility = Tough fishing!

Hit the ground running this morning with a fish on my 4th cast of the day slow rolling a spinnerbait from deep to shallow. As it got lighter it was obvious that there was no algae bloom going on so the ...

UPDATE!
Hey all here is the Part 3 from the Colorado River Oxbow Fishing Videos. Cheers! It was soooo much fun out there. Can't wait to go back.

Too many people! HAHAHA Water's up. Algae bloom on! 58 degree water. Bass in the tulles. Good luck gettin em out.
7 solid bites, boated 1!!!

After listening to the local news last night I headed out this morning half expecting to find Noah and his Ark out there to avoid the flooding!

Pretty sunrise this morning and only two other boats out when I launched and according to the worker at the ramp they left fairly early so I was, literally ...

Crawdads vs. Jigs: Which Will Catch More?
https://youtu.be/aooAO1DD0OE

Hey all I hope you’re staying dry. Headed out to El Capitan this Sunday and decided I would fish crawdads. I used to love fishing crawdads and haven’t done it for a while because many of my old crawdad holes no longer hold them ...

Was shocked to see how much the water came up since Monday. I would guess 5-7ft if not more! If you are familiar with the tree on the left side of Barona Cove (not the ones in the middle of the back) it is completely underwater now. There was at least 5ft of it showing on Monday.

Bipolar weather ...

After waking up and relocating my new fish finder from the bow to the console I decided to give it a spin at El Cap which has been my nemesis the last few trips there. Fished from 1-5pm. Wind had already picked up so it was fun trying to work a spot on my crappy trolling motor(can’t wait til I can ...

Nice, years ago everyone (that we talked to) got skunked on the opener, and that's when they allowed boats on too! Tough time of year... still.
