Wow, that sounds like a really fun time!!!
It’s amazing how those bass just attack those
Flukes and even the ones that you miss, it still makes it really exciting. The bass can probably corner the shad better going in and out of the tulles and here I keep staying out in the middle of the lake ha ha ...

I have also seen on the finder and ran into massive schools of bluegill at Murray.
Even though I was fishing for bass, just for fun I picked up some bluegill using small spoons.
I imagine if you were targeting them, you could have a lot of fun.
Nice job and thanks for sharing blackcloud9 and tight ...

In my last report, I made a promise not to post anything from Lake Murray for 2 weeks. I figured people are tired of seeing my reports about the darn good fishing it has been and mostly tired of seeing my mug..ha ha
Well I have kept my promise. Today is the 14th day and although I am not fishing ...

Whether they are busting a lot or not....the bass are still filling up on shad below the surface. Finding them is sometimes
the frustrating part, but if you find shad balls the bass are not far behind. When they are busting it does make it more exciting
and fun, but even on days where they are not ...

I gave you guys a nice 14 day vacation from me posting reports from Lake Murray, but sorry, it's time to post again. I will try to keep it brief(ha ha... Mcfish knows that is not going to happen).
Hit Murray late morning and pulled in a small bass on a reaction bait waiting for any surface action ...

I know people get tired of seeing my Murray posts, so I gave everyone a much needed 2 week hiatus.
Anyway....all in the name of having fun and bass fishing. I'm back..
Tight lines buddy.

I have used them and with light tackle and caught bass. It is one of my "reaction baits" I talk about in my fish reports. I have not used
them too often, but I can see that with more use they can be pretty effective. I like the way the bait stays basically horizontal
which mades it more like an ...

If they dont like your post, why did they click on it?


Thank you. That is a good point.
Just to share a comment from a guy on the old SDFish:

You seem like a nice guy, Vinny, but I don't think most folks reading your reports give a damn about all you write and the other nonsense you put in ...

No, you were one cool guy, but that Mr. Chatterbaits just seemed a little uptight.
Tight lines always to you buddy.

Bite at Murray was slower this morning but still there. The larger bass are stuffed to the gills with shad.

Plenty of aggressive dinks in the tules early in the AM.


Hey, it was great meeting and chatting with you this morning. Yeah, those bass were a little finicky as I was ...

At around 7am, I decided to get another day of fishing in before the weekend.
It was great running into and chatting with fellow SDFish member Spektrum at the
boat ramp getting his tube ready for action. This morning I wanted to start off
with something different instead of fishing my usual pattern ...

Man you are the ADHD fisherman…never the same lure in two different pictures 😂😉

PS I’m starting to think Murray hired you to drum up business 🤔


I like to try different things even if one is working well. I never put any time in swimbaits so I tossed that bluegill bait for a while and got a ...

I always though that the fish feed all night on a full moon also and you may get some really early, but I never arrive too
early anymore in the morning. I fish after a full moon or a new moon and not sure half the time if it affects the fishing,
but if it does, of course I blame the moon..ha ha ...

Jimbo said, nothing matters. 10lbrs bite 24/7-365 at Murray.

I always forget about that huge bass slayer. I guess because I never actually met him even though he said he was there
on days I was there fishing. One time he told me he would be wearing a red jacket and the coves near the baseball ...

There is always very few anglers at Lake Murray
no matter what the bite is. And there was hardly any busters at all last Thursday morning until surprisingly after 11:30 and almost no busters on Friday when Mcfish was there. Murray can be a mystery at times. Anyway, I tend to agree with Moose that ...

So sorry to hear of what you have been going through. Sometimes things in life at times just knock you down and it seems so hard
to get back up on your feet. It's not going to be easy and it is not fun by any means. I know you have that motivation in you just
like you do when you are out there ...

I decided for a change of pace rather than going to Murray, I would hit the SD River. It has been over a month since the last time I was there. Arrived around 7:30 and this time the water had a green film on top of it. The river always smells a little but I was there to fish and besides not going to ...

Most bass guys on here seem to be strictly fresh or strictly saltwater anglers with a few exceptions (Fishtricks, Pourboy). Have you ever considered mixing it up down in the bay? Also, did you finally lose your Ranger hat?


I used to fish saltwater a lot years ago, but just have stuck to ...

So sorry to hear what happened to you. That is crazy!
Just looking at the pics and the damage done, was enough for me to move my Bixpy battery for my kayak out
to a clear area in the garage just to be safe.
