Great job out there! That's awesome about your new/old ride. Congrats on the fish as well. See you on the water!

Great report! Was just having the conversation yesterday which SD lake is most like Barrett. The V was definitely a top vote getter.

Awesome report thank you! I gotta get back to San V again soon. Congrats on the motor too!

Been holding off on San V until the weather cool and the lake lice start to thin out. Hate that they buzz the shoreline and blare their music when on the water.

It is always a shock to hit a lake with lots of anticipation and the action is not even close to the last time you were there
like you mentioning the wolfpack chewing baitfish on your last trip. The same thing happened to me at Miramar the other
week where there was only a hand full of busters and ...

I got to San Vicente early and was very excited to be able to try out my brand new/old motor on my boat. Got her launched without a hitch and was estatic to find hat she got on plane and handled terrific. It seemed like only seconds before i was at the Barona arm. As i was pulling in a few busters ...

When I reordered a Tsurinoya Flicker 70 from Aliexpress (see my previous post about a new lure) it was so cheap I decided to pick up a couple of other lures as well including its little brother which came in at 50mm, (under 2 inches) and 3 grams.

After catching probably 2 dozen dinks (1 pound or ...

Very nice! Bet that was a big surprise!
I imagine you are always having fun when you are catching bass even clones around 2 lbs or even smaller
each trip because of the excitement of the water exploding on those small topwater baits. And then
a real blast when out of the blue a healthy bass beats ...

That's a great fish on any gear, that you got it on your BFS setup makes it even better. I really enjoy the BFS stuff too. I know big lures usually means big fish, but sometimes the big ones just want an in-between meal snack, I think.

Great job out there man! I did order some of those after your last post. Still waiting to get them. Light line is the best!

Been a minute since I had anything worth sharing. I’ve been hitting El Cap for the last few weeks and been killing the 6-10” bass! Shallow, 10-15ft, breaking fish, didn’t matter, almost everything I caught was still in diapers.

Two weeks ago I noticed that in the front of the lake the fish were ...

If you're only going to get one, that's the kind you want!

There is always very few anglers at Lake Murray
no matter what the bite is. And there was hardly any busters at all last Thursday morning until surprisingly after 11:30 and almost no busters on Friday when Mcfish was there. Murray can be a mystery at times. Anyway, I tend to agree with Moose that ...

4lber on a crank beats 30 dinks any day

A few years ago COVID hit and I closed my business, sold my large 4 bedroom home, and decided to live out my retirement years free and easy in an RV. Since then I have fished an average of 4 days per week until...

A couple of months ago I looked at my old, well-worn travel trailer, and decided I ...

Hi Dan,

The struggle is real. I too go through a horrible withdrawal at the end of September when they close Barrett for the season. I am told there are other bodies of water that hold the very same fish as Barrett, just with a different level of cooperation. Through the support of friends, I have ...

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 ...

Did someone say JIGS?

Haha I should have known that'd get your attention Chris!

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 ...
