Nope, not a normal Sunday thing. Just forces brought us together on that day. Cheers!

Not really, it just kinda worked out that way.

Hey Dave, I think we are scattered this weekend. I want to fish Sunday, but my bride seems to have some opinion on that, so I can't say what I am doing. I think Chris is bay fishing and everyone else is still to decide. I'll say that El Cap has been a very mixed bag, with some folks getting skunked ...

Fun day at the Murr today. Nothing big, but final count was 9. They seemed really pissed off today, fighting like crazy on my BFS gear, so even without that DD it was still a lot of fun.

Was on vacation and between doing lots around the house have not been fishing much. Yeah caught some dinks the week before last at Murray, but nothing to get too excited about. Since I haven't posted for a while, I decided to post a quick report from fishing the SD River this morning. The water has ...

Missed three weeks of top water fun as I was working in Italy. Got some at Otay last week and today at Miramar had some more topwater action. Absolutely a gorgeous day with only one other boat on the water.

Hey! its been a good minute!! Hope everybody is out catching fish! Or at least trying to!

I made my way back to where I was born Beautiful Las Vegas! Never thought I would end up back here but Home Sweet Home! I was lucky enough to have completed my tiny boat build and am having a blast fishing ...

I haven't posted for a while so I figured I should let you know I'm still kickin'.

Murray has been a little tough the last couple of weeks. I've been averaging around 5-6 fish per day, but they've all been dinks and clones so I've mostly been foregoing pictures.

I actually saw the infamous Vinny ...

Had a fun morning at the Cap with Early release , CorsoEnthusiast , and Pourboy . I only caught 3 includingnone swimbait fish, and a couple on topwater Gunfish. Jeremy did the best of all of us, and held down the fort with around 7 I believe. He put on a Neko rig clinic.

To be fair though we weren ...

The Best advice I ever got , 40 years ago, was get a Float Tube. For very little cost, you can skip shore fishing and fish every “unaccessible by shore” spot easily. I’ve caught so many more fish because of it. You get access to all the docks in the Harbor, you can fish the steep rocks at the lakes ...

While you can get away with swim trunks in the ocean in the summer months, all the city lakes require waders and no direct water contact, but I agree, a float tube will change your life as far as fishing goes. So little shore is available in a lot of our lakes in comparison to getting on the water.

Chris has a new ride? He retired the spaceship Enterprise? Pics please!!!

Was so beautiful last week. TopWas slow overall but the third cast got this nice one on a 7” lunker punker.

Finally got into some nicer fish at Murray. Final count was 5. All fish were over two pounds with one going 3.5 and another was 4.5. It really was a beautiful early December day.

Nice to have a day that wasn't a total dinkfest :D

All at around 15 feet. Had to practically dead stick the jig with occasional little twitches.

Interesting! Had a guy at EC tell me that the fish there hang around about 15' all winter.

For those of you interested the DFG stocked Murray yesterday with trout. I have no idea how many pounds, but it wasn't a tremendous amount, and they were small. Most appeared around 10 inches. I suspect most of them will become bass snacks by the weekend, so swimbaits should be a great option for a ...

The water is turning at the SD River...it is murky and green stained and also cold now. Put those things together and it was tough fishing. Did get 2 small bass on a Flashy swimmer with a Keitech trailer and got one bass flippin' a creature bait.
It was the biggest of the small bass so I included a ...

Picked up 9 total at the Murr yesterday. It was great seeing Dfishin out there too!

I got on the water at around 8'30 and was off by noon. The day started with busters on the top. I picked up 4 on a small Gunfish. After surface action slowed I switched to a Griffon MR-X, and picked up 3 more. I ...
