Nurse Suzy is a witch..straight out of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". I thought you were a Tapioca kind of guy......

I read this and snorted. Like Jim, I do checklists, because well, old. But most of them are in my head, so there's the added fun of maybe not remembering the checklist, much less the checked item. It's good you went anyway and even got a fish.


When I am not fishing out of my boat, I customize a ...

Brother and I took the float tubes down to Otay today. We got there a little later than normal and it was 8ish before we got in the water.

Weightless worms along the tule lines in Harvey’s were the meal ticket today. Think I spent exactly 3 casts on other baits all morning. Started off with a ...

Nice to meet CorsoEnthusiast AKA Jeremy and his brother at Otay today. Both class acts, and I am looking forward to fishing with them in the future.

Myself, I ended up with 6 bass, a dozen or so bluegill, and 4 crappie. I scored the trifecta as Jeremy put it lol.

Hey Dannicus great job as usual. Was playing with the idea of hitting Otay tomorrow but the weather might get in the way. Anyhow I was looking for some recent intel on what’s working but guessing it’s your usual weapons. Thanks for posting!


One spinnerbait bass, one frog bass, a couple of bass ...

If you’re on facebook, you may have heard of the club that i am apart of called: So Cal Jr Bass Anglers. If you haven’t, it is a 40 kid club, ages range from 11-18. What we do is we have one tournament a month at one of the local lakes. And each kid gets paired with a boater and another angler. And ...

Oh and I forgot.. I got one bass on a small BFS buzzbait which is a great sign for coming top water days lol.

Had an 11 bass morning today at El Capitan. All over 2 pounds with a couple over 3.

I was fishing a Texas rigged TRD Crawz, pitching it right to the bank and into the weeds then jigging it back out.

A couple recent trips to Murray resulted in a handful of small bass(McFish would be proud
as I gave in and used drop-shot) and a couple of nicer fish on reaction baits.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a few firsts of the year with you as today's trip produced my
first topwater bass of the year. Saw ...

Made the drive out to Henshaw yesterday to take advantage of the beautiful spring weather. Forecast for Warner Springs area said "A nice day for outdoor activities" so I had a feeling it was going to be good day! Arrived right when they opened at 8:00am and by the time I got my permits, pressure ...

Rumor has it that they just did some electroshocking to do a fish count at the lake..that might explain why the fish kind of seemed to be in a coma! I tried to get some topwater going early, but the fish weren't having it...I didn't see any surface action so I lost interest pretty fast. I switched ...

Still a good day!
Shocking fish for counts. Is SD Water District starting to care again? What's next, they will start clipping fins again and asking for counts? Just kidding, any love for the lakes is good love=)

That’s a nice cat! Caught a few of those on cranks at El Cap. Great fight but kind of disappointing after a minute or so when you realize it’s not a huge bass on the end of your line

It was fun watching you fight that thing! You da man as always. I caught a couple of fours this week and later that same day I finally tied into a 6.5 pound bass too! The bigger fish seem to be hanging around more up shallow which is great for me in a tube.

Still waiting for that invite out on your ...

This was my underspin cat at Murray last year. Pulled me around in the tube for a while!

Still a good day!

Surely you jest....the water people caring about the fish..hahahaha! I believe the ...

Took a friend to Hodges and wanted to avoid all of my usual shore pounding, so rented a boat. Almost a quick start as I had a "dock monster" just miss while waiting for my buddy to arrive. Anyway, went right over to the birds across from the dock and there were shad everywhere and no bites :cry ...

I haven’t fished Sutherland in a long time. I would love a crack at that place, I know some Pigs are hiding in there.
Yes, Catalina has several mystical Reservoirs. A full on logistical nightmare to fish them. I hiked until my legs were ready to fall off. Full overland trails that were more Bison ...

400 miles, 4 stops, 2 baits, 1 rig. As a truck driver that covers lots of miles, its great to be able to stop and explore new things. Last week, I decided to bring a set up as I often drive by areas that I could park the truck and fish but haven't. SO I decided to film it and make a challenge for ...

JWall, the 12-25 rated one is really a Pool Stick. I may get the lighter one for 6 pound stuff. My first new rod in 20+ years thanks to a large purchase at Phoenix Rods in Orange a long time ago. Thanks Ty.
OK, I ordered the light Rod, it was on sale!
