Not the biggest, but they sure are pretty little ones!

Is this what you are looking for?

no cooking...Salt (heavily) the filet, refrigerate for 30 min. Rinse off salt and slice edges off and retain for Maki (roll) and Poke (shown in the bowl), leaving the beautiful even slabs for sashimi. I could provide more details of the assembly and ingredients, but I am ...

Not a giant, but still plugging away at it in the "urban fishery" and to keep me honest...here's the dink

Here's a few from near my area from two separate mornings...couple good ones and as I have promised (I (insert name) do solemnly swear to always post the dinks with the "good ones")

Trying to narrow down where this is.
(Asking for a friend)

Well...there really is no shoreline...does that help?

BeatTheSkunk wrote: Tue Nov 28, 2023 9:55 pm Yup! I think this is my spot too. I just pulled a lipless crank and a chatterbait from the tulies. By chance were those evidence of your presence?

The crankbait is (was) mine...

Curious if anyone has fished at Laguna Niguel Lake...only looking at the map and the $28 fee (plus parking) from afar so far for me...

Well this year was quite a fishing adventure for me...right down to the very last day. I just wanted to share a few pics from the end of the year and some of the bass from a few different places. I am not trying to brag (maybe a little...) just wanted to share some of the more than 700 fish I caught ...

Those are huge...I don't think I have ever caught a bluegill anywhere near that size...Great work!

Oceanside harbor beach near the south jetty ...finally one nearly worth a photo.

I don't know exactly...between numb feet and comfortable...

It was a slow start but ended up with 5 fish...not bad for my 1st outing of the year at Hodges...I threw a bunch of stuff early, first trip...lots of off season tackle purchases. But the first fish was on a texas rigged baby brush hog.

Then I tried more of that and got ...

Well it was a long day, but ended up productive enough for me, caught 7 farmed 2. Go there and it was still a bit dark, but everyone had already got a ticket and headed to the lake...The opened the gate EARLY? That's a new one. Headed over to Hernandez side and commenced shore pounding. First fish ...

Early release wrote: Sun Apr 21, 2024 6:55 pm Nice day, good report. Were they all on spinnerbaits or did you also have something else work? They seem to be opening a bit early lately. Last Sunday I think it was pretty dark when we all got in.

Only 1 on the spinnerbait, one on a glide bait, and the rest on the ol' wacky rig...

Well I have to say that I really liked my first trip to El Cap! Probably the nicest day weather wise in a long time and sometimes that means...not great fishing. But that was not the case. I don't have a boat (actually I do have a canoe, but that doesn't count) so I decided to hire a guide, what a ...

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 ...

Well...I was super excited to go to the giant bass mecca in Nor-Cal and was not disappointed (mostly, more later...) Went with my little brother and we both got fish the first day on a boat (cant remember the guide's name...my brother booked him) But here are a couple examples, sorry this time I ...

Just wondering...since I am a shore pounder by nature...is it worth going to this "lake of D&K" for me?
