I decided for a change of pace rather than going to Murray, I would hit the SD River. It has been over a month since the last time I was there. Arrived around 7:30 and this time the water had a green film on top of it. The river always smells a little but I was there to fish and besides not going to ...

Most bass guys on here seem to be strictly fresh or strictly saltwater anglers with a few exceptions (Fishtricks, Pourboy). Have you ever considered mixing it up down in the bay? Also, did you finally lose your Ranger hat?


I used to fish saltwater a lot years ago, but just have stuck to ...

And some pretty vicious fins too!

I fed my addiction Thursday and Friday at Murray. Thursday was a bit slower as I spent the day trying to re-establish a pattern. Ended up with a couple of about 3 lb. clones.

Friday started off great with 3 nice popper fish - casting toward the boat dock, then soon devolved into a dink-fest. I ...

Only 5 fish on the day but all of them were fat and healthy. The biggest weighed 6.1 so took over the 5.6 Murray fish of last month for my second biggest of the year. The bass were actually busting down by the buoy line and I threw a bunch of TW baits at them but no takers. So I switched to a jig ...

Decided to skip a trip to Murray and headed out to the SD river. Got there around 7:30 and there was even more surface area covered with a green film than last week. I imagine that with some good winter rains it will be able to flush out a lot of this yucky green water. On the positive side, after a ...

I found another versatile BFS bait that has been working well for me. Today I Caught several bass and bluegill on a Shimano World Crank 73F. The best bass was just over 4lbs.

It's an interesting bait, sort of a cross between a crank and jerk bait. It suspends so it can be worked like a jerk bait ...

Legit carp on jig. Thumped it just like a bass.

Otay has overtaken El Cap as my favorite local body of water this year. Hadn't been in a few weeks and decided to make an early morning run in the tube.

Got in the water well before sunrise and was greeted by some busters and an early catch on a small subsurface walking bait. Threw a 110 Jr for ...

It was a T rig and jig morning, got a nice surprise pulling the chatter over a snag.

11-12

On a jig, using BFS and battle to remember.

"Blades, Ice Jigs & Spoons..oh my!" was the theme today at Murray. Decided to give it a go after some inspiration by yesterdays post by Dannicus. Fumbling around at home I did not get on the water till around 8:45.I tossed a few swim baits near the ramp and shoreline but it already started to warm ...

I got to Murray this morning forgetting it was the second Tuesday of the month and it was closed, so I pivoted and went to Mission Bay instead.

I launched from Dana Landing at around 8:30 and the tide was high. I landed a couple of small spotties among the anchored boats, when Fish and Game pulled ...

Well I have to say, I am disappointed in my start at Hodges...but this is most likely due to the super inflated expectations I had built up over the long closure. But here goes...two days last Saturday 2-8 and today Sunday 2-16 for a total of 2 fish, but I will get to that in a second. First of all ...

Went out Thursday had a fun day plenty of action didn't keep count best 5 16.87. Even better I took out my son in law and grandkids. These 2 girls love to fish. It started out slow but got better and better . I hooked plenty but didn't land any, all fish landed by the 2 girls. So much fun. Son in ...

Very solid day for sure. Never hurts to play it safe. Too bad I missed the Video, just got home from Glamis and missed it =/


So I just found out that I can set it to “Unlisted” which means I can put a link to watch it but it won’t show up in the search function or on my videos list. Let’s try ...

Our Tournament Director opened the fridge Friday night during our house dinner, and a few seconds later, shouted, “Who in the F*CK is marinating their plastics with teriyaki sauce?!” He had grabbed a Tupperware container from the fridge, expecting ...
