Same with me....

Sunday was the best day of bass fishing we’ve ever had. Maybe our best day of fishing period!

Me and my two boys (7 & 9) got on the water by 5:30am and fished for the next 13 hours. And we would have kept fishing if they let us! They air and water were cooler than in weeks past and the lake seemed ...

Arrived at 4:30am and seemed like perfect timing. No dust, no vehicles driving in at that time and rather wide open parking. Learned that they are now only doing 15 boats (with 5 on deck for backup/emergencies) versus 25 in years’ past. Noticed a slew of tubers but because of the lake being so full ...

I was the first boat in Hauser, the glorious sunrise gracing Barrett Lake as it tends to do this time of morning. The peacefulness of the morning quickly subsided the moment I made my FIRST cast. And that's when my trolling motor started smoking ...

Don't know if I missed it or if this is new. But a Baja forum is cool, so guess I'll post a report of my recent trip to San Felipe on the northern tip of the Gulf of CA.
Went for a family trip where family was the emphasis, I was able to sneak away for at least one high tide each day, but was ...

As I have mentioned in adjacent topic last week we went fishing at Bahia de LA. Days were mostly sunny with strong afternoon winds that slowed not much in the nights but the mornings were OK. Issak, our panguero was a commercial fisherman occasionally helping Octavio's sport fishing business. We ...

went with a group of 13 guys last week to bahia de la. one group of 6 people left sat, our group 0f 7 people left monday. we left at 6am got to bahia at 3:30. weet with other group at our hotel and got the scoop what was happening. needed 5 circle hooks and 80 lb leaders as the yellowtail were angry ...

Was the Kroc toothed up? Maybe sierra

X2 on the Ladyfish. Got one down there some years back just like you’re describing. Miniature tarpon.

Your guess is as good as mine, no idea what you were dealing with...
I tried surf fishing out front & the reef got all my krocs...
Glad you got down there before it all gets flattened / leveled, an amazing place...SAD!!!
Im going at the end of the month but the fam wants to stay at the Cabo tourist ...

Surf fishing in Cabo San Lucas is very different from what most anglers are used to in Southern California.

Water temperature, current, and seasonal bait movements play a much bigger role than casting distance or finesse.

Below is a ...

Let’s be real—when people talk about the "Big Three" lakes around here, Piru Lake is definitely the red-headed stepchild. Castaic? That place is a legend. Back in the '90s, when I was still learning the difference between a spinnerbait and a spoon, my dad and I would roll up with all the colors of ...

On most days, the city pond is just water and grass blending into East LA. But every so often, it hosts an event. You can tell because people start showing up early and standing around doing nothing in particular until the show starts.

The cormorants know first. They always do. They appear in ...

It was a random Saturday in April where my tournament partner and I actually had the day off. Normally Saturdays start with alarms going off at ungodly hours and us finishing our sleep in the launch ramp line somewhere two hours away.

Not today.

Instead of a road trip, we made the grueling five ...

I went on an exploratory trip to check on conditions, and found some really fishable holes in North Newport to South Huntington Beach. It was late afternoon with the nearly Full Moon rising well before the Sun set and the Tide getting very low. The holes were defined by the surf disappearing into ...

Hit the Bay on an idyllic post Santa Ana Wind Day. Flat calm and glassy all day, water temperature was 60.1 in the lower Harbor and 64 in the back, by the Arches Bridge. Ian and I dropped into the lower Harbor, around 12:30pm, right next to the Balboa Pavilion and rode the outgoing Tide down the Bay ...

What with the near collapse of the fishery at Canyon Lake, my Buddy “Hoppy” and I went down to the Harbor on my Skiff. We launched and headed down to the lower Harbor. A nice incoming Tide had us in a perfect first drift and the action started quickly. We doubled up twice on our first drift and ...

Location: Navajo Lake, New Mexico
Lure: Crocodile

Hit Canyon on the Tube this morning, for the first time in a while. it was nice and cool and the water temperature had dropped from a month ago. I Launched next to the Ramp by the Fire Station at 6:15 am. Starting up the rocky cliffs of the Ski Lake, I was bouncing a 1/8oz. Jighead with a ZMan Trout ...

We hit up DVL last Saturday. After dragging a trolling motor and heavy lead battery down the launch ramp, we got on our rental and proceeded to have a ball.
