Nice job out there Dannicus !
You sure pulled in a nice variety of fish today and that "cool" little crank bait you shared with us on a recent post is pretty amazing!
That little thing is worth its weight in gold the way the fish are attacking it. I bet you had a blast out there getting some ...

Lol maybe I shouldn't have said anything. Naw you'll love it! The bass sure do!

Back here at Pelican Lake in northern Minnesota with my buddy Scott for our annual angling extravaganza. The first day started out cold and windy but the afternoon was nice along with the fishing. We got about 45 largemouths and smallmouths between us with most of them nice three pound chunks ...

Always look forward to your annual Minnesota trip reports Big C. Those are some really healthy bass and I could see why you head back there each year to fish Pelican Lake. Judging from those pics of you guys and those bass, it looks like you are having a great time. Keep on catching them and look ...

Going to those pristine, unpressured lakes is just plain cheating! Says a very jealous, frustrated Socal fisher.

Congrats on the fish, what a fattie. I've been watching videos on YT of divers cleaning up rivers and restoring lures. This guy got 220 in 45 minutes!
Imagine what it would be like diving in our reservoirs.

I have been using that little Daiwa SC shad and it's been good for me, it only dives about 3-4 feet, but I think they are going a bit deeper than they were a month ago, so your suggestion really seems like a good ...

Rigged up a number of rods with baits and got my boat ready for a morning adventure to Murray. Packed my lunch and drinks and I
was on my way. I was daydreaming hoping for some top water action and then suddenly reality hit. OMG!... I totally spaced and
forgot today is the second Tuesday of the ...

That bass looks like it been going to the gym=)

Unfortunately, the lake closures will only get worse! The Mayor and City Council have discovered that they can screw the fisherman and save the money for their pet projects..the homeless and the illegal aliens.

I literally made the same mistake brother, but pivoted and headed to El Cap. Nice fatty you caught there!

Who among us hasn’t been halfway down the proverbial El Monte Road on the wrong day and said “Oh Sh**!! Good job as always VB!


That would sure be a bummer heading to El Cap and realizing it was closed. I know me and think I would say at least 20, I mean 30
or more words than "Oh Sh**! :-)
That ...

You did good Man. Those Crappie remind me of Crappie fishing in AZ. Despite the common belief that Crappie only hit minnows, your pictures prove that Crappie will hit almost anything including crankbaits, Jerkbaits, spinner baits, and senkos. Your success inspires me to fish for those Crappies again ...

It looks great, glad you got on it right away.
Living without a boat , well it’s not living good.
I hope you catch a monster. Thank you for the company that does good work. It’s a crap shoot nowadays.

Take care

That El Monte road never seems to end the older I get.
Years ago it seemed shorter...ha ha


Well fortunately San V was open so we ...

I literally made the same mistake brother, but pivoted and headed to El Cap. Nice fatty you caught there!


I made this mistake shortly after the city decided to close Murray the second Tuesday of the month. I never made
the mistake since because I always knew to not go to Murray that day. I ...

That's what I was thinking too! Smashing a bluegill pattern bait? That and the fact that the entire bait wouldn't even fit in their little bluegill mouths lol

Darn Cannibals. That crank gets it! Reminds me of the Shad Rap 5 30 years ago.
