Had an 11 bass morning today at El Capitan. All over 2 pounds with a couple over 3.

I was fishing a Texas rigged TRD Crawz, pitching it right to the bank and into the weeds then jigging it back out.

A couple recent trips to Murray resulted in a handful of small bass(McFish would be proud
as I gave in and used drop-shot) and a couple of nicer fish on reaction baits.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a few firsts of the year with you as today's trip produced my
first topwater bass of the year. Saw ...

Looks like a fun day.

Like @VinnyBass I figure you are all tired of seeing my Murray posts. Still, I thought I'd share a couple of pics of a decent bass and a large bluegill caught on consecutive casts with the same bait. Fun!

sweet. stop at the Delta on the way back and find my phone in that water, would you please? ;/)

Decided to make my first trip out to what is known here at “the lake of D&K” in 30 years this morning. As fate would have it, turned into an SDFish party out there!

I only fished till about 10am but ended up with 5 landed and 3 lost. Worm fish all of them except for one.

Will definitely return ...

It was really awesome seeing you all out there! It was my first time at Sutherland but it certainly won't be my last. Thanks for showing this old guy the ropes out there. My final count was 14, not including three dinks which would have made it 17. All in all in awesome day!

I know somehow it was Vinnybass that planned this surprise party! I hope he got Fisheromen's permission first! A fun time was had by all, even though Vinny was a little grumpy at first after missing some hooksets..fortunately he got his mojo back! I ended the day with 15 clones and broke off 3 fish ...

I fished lake Murray this morning, and the water was so low that it was almost at the end of the boat ramp. On the plus side, I had the place almost all to myself (except for a few shore guys that arrived mid-morning).

There were a lot of bass busting early, but I couldn't get them to take my top ...

Got on the water at 5:15 and picked up these two porky beauties in the first 30 minutes. I actually lightened the first picture. I took it in much lower light than it appears. After the second photo conditions became clear and bright and the topwater bite was kaput.

I picked up a handful of 1-2 ...

Loaded my kayak up and hit Lake Miramar on Monday. It was overcast, the water was high and caught my first bass on top
which was a nice start. I started to catch bass on a topwater bait and in between a few bass that could not find my treble hooks.
Anyway everything was going well as I began to ...

Haven’t been on SDfish too much lately but I decided to post this catch. I was planning on taking out the kayak but didn’t want to go through the hassle of loading it up so instead, I went on the bank. I saw some fish busting so I decided to throw a small 2.8 Keitech on an underspin. I got caught on ...

I only fished Miramar once on July 8 since they opened and had a nice morning with 11 bass until I felt really ill and had to leave
pretty quickly which was a bummer. Feeling much better and recovered from my heel pain(plantar fasciitis), I decided I wanted
to return back up to Miramar. It was a ...

Hit Lake Dixon this AM
Got there late @ 0800 hrs.
By 0900 hrs, was too sun-exposed and freakin' hot to continue.
As I'm limited to lake pier fishing, threw the proverbial drop-shotted weedless 7" RoboWorm.
Had one "on" for a couple feet after attempting to set the hook on the first tap. I usually ...

Been a long time(June 21) since I actually fished on the water at Murray. Besides being out sick and a few other ailments added to the fact they lowered the water where I could not launch my boat, it was nice to actually get back on the water this morning. Threw topwater baits and reaction baits on ...

It was a little overcast in the morning and after an already late start to the lake, I spent a good deal of time on shore before launching
when I ran into my old fishing buddy Sonny. Haven't seen him in a long time and he is an amazing bass fisherman. He fishes out of a
kayak and always catches ...

Yeah, I know you guys are tired of my Lake Murray reports, but I tried to make it a little more interesting.
I decided to first try to catch a few bass on hard topwater baits. I put on a little Zara Puppy(Spook) since Dannicus , CorsoEnthusiast and a few others said to throw smaller baits. I ...

Was heading over to Barrett but woke up late and since I was already packed up I made the short drive over to Hodges. There was not many people fishing and most probably stayed away due to the tough conditions out there. I made a beeline to the dam and started throwing cranks on my BFS set up. Got a ...

Looks Fun! Thanks for sharing=)

Nice job out there!
