I took my tube out for a test after doing a few things. Biggest is changing my 30# thrust motor to a 45#. As i was setting up the tube i found that I had forgot my FF mount. So I'm fishing blind. Not knowing how my new motor would do with my battery I took off across the lake to the left of the 2 ...

Hit Murray with my buddy Joe this morning. The surface was basically dead as did not see any busters so it was soon worm time. Using a variety of worms, creature baits, flukes. etc., we picked up some clones here as there as it was a little later morning bite. Missed a few bites comes along with the ...

Haven't posted anything since my 7.25lb bass few weeks ago at Murray(Didn't want to bore you guys as just landing mostly dinks anyway), but here is just a quick post from the SD River.
Got just 3 bites this morning on a quick session at the river and landed 2 bass.
Not big by any means but still ...

I’m not used to catching 7 pounders but catching 3 of them in the last couple months was pretty crazy and I was pretty lucky.
I probably will never catch another 7 pounder the rest of my life … ha ha

I won’t be holding my breath for that to happen...ha ha
Actually that is a Texas rigged Brushhog in a color that I cannot disclose...ha ha

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.

Thought this was a perfect photo to show of me flying down Lake Murray blvd with my truck and boat instead of posting pics of small (and even tiny) bass I have caught recently at Lake Murray.
Actually I have not fished much at all this month and yeah recently at Murray caught one ...

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

Back for another quick river session as I decided to try something different after catching nothing but dinks over at Murray. I mean I have worked hard and only been ending up with small bass. Anyway....after tons of casts into the green strained water of the SD River and time flying by, I finally ...

I just found the site and wanted to get things going again. I got this nice red ear sunfish at lake 5 on a night crawler.

My second trip to San V this year, and found the bluegill and redear biting pretty good in the late afternoon. Even some lowly bass.

Dropshotting half a crawler gets it done. All fish were released.

Some guys turned it into a political debate platform, attacking others and such. I guess that was the main reason why the whole board was deleted by the owner.

Really glad to see that is waste-side now...
Many others are also glad, the toxicity is gone ...

Most of us are glad about the new platform & rules of no politics & religion. Suggest you ...

Pretty sure this is not a re-launch of the old site. Why the comparison?


Only the format was cloned. These are different people, or else why launch a new site, when the old one could have been tidied up and rearranged a bit. I am an administrator on a couple of sites, and administrators can ...

No politics here please.
It’s ok to discuss the topic but when it’s about insulting other forum members you won’t win.

On Memorial Day, all of us should never forget the sacrifice and the courageous deeds of
our fallen heroes and honor the brave men and women who fought in service for our great nation.

San Vicente was a lot of fun today. Nothing bigger than this one in the picture, but quite a few of them. All on dropshot. Roboworm in Oxblood red flake or Tequila Sunrise with 3/16 oz weight. Not even a look at jigs or jerk baits. Water was around 63 early this morning and by afternoon, I was ...
