One of my best days ever for El Cap!

Launched about 6:30 and headed over to the island that used to be in the front part of the lake. Started off with the frog on got a chunky little guy on my third cast. Two casts later I got a 3 pounder that choked it. Two blow ups, two fish. Thought it was on at ...

Did a quick session down at the SD River from shore. Took 2 rods and just some light tackle. Arrived around 7am, despite saying to myself that I was going to be there early. I got only 4 bites and landed the 4 bass using a fluke and plastic worms. Nothing real big but still had fun time as the bass ...

Flipped a coin and just decided to just take a couple rods down to the SD River for a a short shore section before the heat arrives. A tiny bit cooler with a little early cloud cover, but knew that was not going to last.
I missed a bass on a fluke as it surprised the heck out of me when it hit the ...

Hey all,
Headed back to Miramar to see if anything had changed. Got 1 whopper plopper and a couple on a t-rigged ZMan Mag Fattyz (biggest was 3.46). Then came back a couple days later and got 1 on a Ned Shot Rig (ZMan trick shotz in Meat Dog). The fish have gone deep ...

I remember maybe 10 years ago I had decided that jigs were some kind of elaborate joke created by pros and perpetrated on us mere mortals. Over the years I had tried jigs on numerous occasions, and all I ever caught was grass, moss, and tree branches. Not to mention losing a bunch of them after ...

Headed back to the river for a little dirty water fishing as one day I expect to catch a 3-eyed bass similar to the one that aired on a Simpsons episode...ha ha

Anyway I landed a dink on a crank bait and later I was reeling in another bass and during the process, one of my rods ...

Best lure: western 8" straight. Tan with green vien. I have bass thumb today

Sweet!
Always fun to catch them in a small body of water.
Nice job and tight lines always.

Finally caught something worth posting about at sweetwater all I ever catch here are bass all under 1lb finally caught these 2 on back to back days I guess the rumors of people catching 10lb bass here are true.

Sometimes you just need a little break and decided it was time again to hit Murray in the morning before it gets too hot. Did not get an early start as I finally was on the water around 7:45a.m. Not much surface action so I decided to flip a little with a Tokyo rig. I probably mentioned it a number ...

Hey all,
I managed to get out to El Cap in the tube and man it was eerie! No boats on there was awesome and horrible at the same time. I know that we all understand the lakes situation but I am going to make lemonade while lemons are in season.

I started off throwing ...

to fish in. Able to land 3 bass and not able to

Oh my gosh, that must’ve been pretty darn exciting while the fish was on. I always anticipate something happening when I get a healthy fish and if I’m able to land it, I’m pretty darn happy… but it seems bigger fish have a way of getting away.
I lost a nice one at the river today, but sounds like ...

If it got away, go with 10 plus. Sounds better haha but then it could hurt more…

Had a really fun day at El Cap with Chris ( Pourboy ) and his friend Brad. Final count was 17. One jig fish, and everything else was topwater. A few dinks but most were 1-2 pound clones with 3 of them over 3 lbs.

They weren't busting aggressively, but I was just casting around in the coves and they ...

Very nice job!
It looks like you’re having a lot of fun out there.

I remember when I was doing some handrails at the Naval hospital close to that lake and I would fish it before work (found out later I wasn’t suppose to) and I have success throwing the spook on the edges of the lily pads, that’s right I said lily pads. Biggest I caught was only three pounds but I ...

They may not be exactly the same but they sure do act the same so I will be wrong when I say it but hey, it could be a hybrid now.

This one came from Harmony Grove. The orange was amazing.
