The mystery of bubbles coming up from the depths is solved... fish laughing!

I went to otay early got to say hello to Dan then headed down otay arm I threw my toad all around any grass which now there is a lot of but only got couple blowups ups did not land any my dad did 1 on toad rest day we threw robo 7” neko and Dropshot he ended up with 4 I got 2 he got the better fish ...

Got on the water around 7:20 and was thinking of flippin' the tulles, but with bass breaking the surface here and there, that flippin idea never materialized. It was frustrating to say the least
as the bass were up and down fast again so instead of wasting lots of time chasing them(most were pretty ...

Razzing from McFish in 3..2..1..

Wow...it's amazing how many different baits you put in that one bass's mouth...lol lol lol lol lol !

More toad fishing at cap this morning w my dad on yak got there early started north side dam finger was getting blowups but not near as many only landed 1 in couple hours we missed quite a few but they weren’t really that aggressive did have one knock my bait 2 feet in the air and he jumped 3 ft was ...

I've been seeing all your posts about the El Cap bite. I decided to give it a try. I managed a mere 6 clones in 7 hours. All of them looked pretty much like the one in the picture. Musta come from the same litter.

Couldn't get a frog bite, Caught them on a crank, jig, Huddleston weedless grass ...

Nice to meet you on Monday went night fishing again got my post deleted who’s to say I’m not part of sd river and I don’t want anyone to know

Took the float tube out at Murray today 8/07 from about 9-1. Saw lots of busting fish when I first got my tube in the water and caught two Dinks on a small paddle tail. Had my flipping stick so I decided to go flip the tullies for the next few hours for nada. It was a fun few hours.

Knowing it was going to get very hot quickly,I wanted to get there early, but got delayed sorting though all types of tackle at the last second to bring so did not arrive at he river till 10 minutes to 7. The sun was already out as last time it was over cast for at least an hour. Tossed some ...

Sounds like you cracked the code!

Comparing a Public Lake, and one with multiple Tournaments, to Barrett is going to get you the same answer every time. I fish Barrett type Lakes often. My closest got hit with a fish kill and Golden Algae this year, the Bass numbers dropped in half but it is still better than the local Public Lakes ...

Great job d yeah no top bite bummer thank you for report ill prob go Mon less people

Some of the bigger fish are starting to hit topwater walking baits at the Murr. I caught 6 early morning TW fish then it basically shut down. I picked up a few more on a jig pitching the edge of the tules and points. Total was 9, with the biggest going 4.1.

I ventured over to Murray with my kayak this morning as today was going to be the only day I could fish this week. Water levels at Murray is up and down every few days now as I stop by the lake often and check it out at the boatramp. What was a foot or two above the average level last week which was ...

Man I’d take a single 4lber over big numbers any day! I think I was referring to Mcfish when talking about double digit days lol he puts up numbers! I bought a few spybaits last year and have been forcing myself to use them cause they were pricey, lots of casting but it’s fun when I get bored of ...

Sometimes its true...it is fun and this was one of them...I was there for a total of 3 casts (flips really) and here is the result:

Way better than the 12 fish dink festival at Hodges the day before...

Had a really fun 18 fish day at The Captain today, but I had to go old school to get them.

Started off on top with 2 on the Gunfish. Then I switched to a jig and got a couple more. Then the bite just stopped, so I tied on a pegged Texas rigged Trick worm and evidently that's what they wanted!

Most ...

Much like earlier in the week I caught a couple of topwater early and 1 jig fish. After that the only thing that seemed to get their attention was a worm. So I T-rigged it and caught 6 or 7 that way but over half of them choked it, necessitating surgery. This is the primary reason I find of stopped ...

Finally got back out on the water again ( I really hate you guys that get to fish so often! 😝). Lake was packed! Had to have been at least one club tournament if not two going on.

Had really no idea what to expect except for the recent reports from here. Started out throwing a frog and missed a ...
