That sounds like a lot of fun, Dan. And those fish fight pretty well too. Glad to see you out catching fish as always and thanks for sharing.
I’m afraid if I fish saltwater, I may never go back to a lake ha ha. Tight line always buddy.

Lets just say that the power of advertising in the fishing world often works pretty effectively.
For me, it does not matter what a lure may look like, or imitates, but if it is catching bass on YouTube videos,
I must admit I am one of the suckers that feels I just have to have that lure....ha ha ...

The Favorite Lure in 2025 and several years now for me was the Tackle Warehouse Website...luring me to buy
more lures than I need. ha ha

Merry Christmas and Thank you for SDFish!

Congratulations on your PB Jeremy! What a nice looking bass! Very healthy!
Thanks for including me early via text as that was very, very exciting to see the pics and glad Chris was there to film a video for you. You put in a lot of work bass fishing and bet you were really jazzed catching that bass ...

My last fishing trip of 2025 was supposed to be yesterday , after fishing the deep waters of Lake Murray and coming up with 7 small & even tiny bass. Example: a few whoppers from yesterday at Murray...ha ha

So sorry to hear that.......I hope you are back to a full recovery and those bass out there in the lakes better be prepared to be hooked and landed soon by you. Best Wishes and ...

Yeah the Brushhog, craw-type baits and senkos have been good to me in 2025

With hardly any new posts lately, I decided to try to stir up things up a little.
I normally would not do this, but just felt that hopefully this post may inspire some
of you to PLEASE share some of your fun catches in 2025.

While none of my bass broke the 10lb range(what's new?),
I did catch 3 ...

Not the same fish…. I could’ve made bigger pictures of each one so you could see things better but that would be a crazy waste of space.

I always wanted to find something to carry a few guide type or small swim baits in while fishing in my kayak without having to lug another tackle storage box. I decided to give BUZBE Tackle storage a try. I had already recently got one of their modular storage boxes which I really like. I saw that ...

Anybody been by Murray lately? Looking for a water condition report. Normal or Muddy?


Stopped by just to look around yesterday(Sunday am) and the water is still pretty stained as compared to the summer
months where it cleared up fairly nicely. I checked water from the boar ramp pier over to the ...

1st bass of 2026! On track for 365 bass this year...

The coloring on that bass reminds me of some of the winter catches down here at the SD River.
A lighter muddy type of orange color. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
