I've seen the Fire copter practicing at San V. in the past!

After my outing 2 weeks ago, and seeing a lot of people hammering ‘em at Cap, I wanted to get back out there and get another chance at it. The wind was blowing pretty good early, and it made things a little tougher than I was expecting early, but got the first fish within a few minutes of hitting ...

Nice job out there

Our annual trip we take every March. Unusually warm this year. So much that we abandoned the idea of camping.Spring break partying in full go. As far as the fishing....man it was rough. I only managed 3...wife had 3... nephew had 1 and one monster caught released at the dock and that was it. All on ...

Nice Dave!

to meet fellow people that are on the site. Tight lines buddy :-)

Great work guys! Keep killing us boaters

But the DS and senko was on fire. While others are hitting big rock piles, I was hitting the stuff in ...

This is a good example of how decreased pressure & a smaller pond can produce better #'s per trip.
Us boat fisherman are missing out

Very nice Dave!! Great report and no doubt a great day of bass fishing!
Tight lines always.

Put BASS rock on your GPS so you can find it when the water fills back in.

Nice job d my dad and I talked to u I didn’t recognize u till I realized it now great job yeah I threw chatter got 3 over 4lb my dad and I both got 4 or 5 each 3.5-4.5lb most fish on senco for him yeah I been dragging bigger baits going for better quality

If they pull any more water from the lake we’re gonna be able to walk across the fishes backs.

Went out last weekend to Santa Ana River Lakes and got this beast on hook up bait. I don’t really fish for them and this beat my previous PB by 6lbs. It weighed 8.32lbs. Super fun catch on 2lb test!
