Good fish! Especially after starting the day by emptying your hooks and sinkers and stuff on the garage floor.

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to manage all my gear but have not been able to.

Perhaps I just need to get a bass boat and have all my gear just thrown in there, and that ...

Nice job out there and enjoyed the video as always!
It’s fun to try something a little different, especially when it works. Actually @CorsoEnthusiast the other year told me using Damiki and hover rigs and I was picking up some bass on those rigs also. It’s amazing how many fishing techniques can pop ...

Quick morning trip to the river and a quick report. Only 2 bites....pretty much tells the story.
Bass were small, but better than nothing at all.

Nice fish brother. Hows Murray been treating you?


Murray has been really bad my last few trips . I mean I got a few aquarium sized bass bouncing a spoon off the bottom, but mostly cruised around looking for shad balls or schools of shad and couldn’t find any. There’s a lot of schools of ...

Well no luck on the strolling baits at Murray, but to be fair I didn't give them a great try. I ran into some equipment issues and had to cut my morning really short lol

Hope your equipment issued gets fixed and those baits do look awesome!
And adding my 2 cents regarding Murray... if 10 sticks ...

Other than on a Tokyo rig or Texas rig with bobber stop up close to the craw bait, I usually use the Z-Man Ned Weedless Shroomz
heads or other similar weedless Ned heads with any of the craw baits. I just want to be able to toss the bait in all types of structure
and that is why 90% of the ones I ...

Chris....Thanks for the post and battle of the baits video....that was Great!
The video was very entertaining as always and informative.
Merry Christmas right back at you and lots of tight lines in 2025
to you and all on SDFish!

Very Nice!
Definitely a great Xmas present!
(Must be a reason you never say where.....but it's all good.)

Way to hang in there and glad you guys ran in to some fish. Bummer about that big smallie getting away, but sounds like he still had a pretty fun time with your brother. Thanks for sharing and always love the pics you post. Look forward to more winter stories from the canals.
Tight lines always ...

Nice job.....and thanks for sharing.
I have almost forgot what my home lake even looks like any more...ha ha
Maybe be out there with some blades, ice jigs, hover baits and spoons in the cold months coming up.

That is pretty amazing!!!!
Yes, ice jigs do work.
I have a bunch of ice jigs and used to use them often through the years. There were 2 basic colors that worked almost equally and they were blue and chrome or black and chrome. Again, it’s funny that they just sit in a tackle box and I haven’t used ...

11 bass... with every bass being over 3lbs each.....good day??? Sounds like it was more of a best day ever!
Even catching 5 bass over 3lbs is fantastic and title should have beens more like "GREAT DAY AT OTAY!"
Wow!

To be fair, it still doesn't approach the 50+ fish topwater day I had there ...

That’s a great way to end the year!
Tight lines in 2025 buddy!

Evidently some guys got upset that I shared this story and bait. They told @VinnyBass to talk to me about it. Well sorry if I offended anyone, but I thought this site was about sharing catches, baits, techniques that work etc... I mean I always appreciate hearing from you guys regarding what's ...

Just letting you guys with boats know that they were checking people coming in at the boat ramp for boater cards and permits
yesterday(Jan. 2) at Murray.

That trout is AMAZING!!! Wow, for the first day
of the New Year, that is a great start. I have
never caught a trout that big and bet that
it was as exciting as heck landing it. Great
job and thanks for sharing your adventures.
3 trophy size fish in a month…..WOW!
Tight lines and Best Wishes Always!

I stopped posting here because too many knuckleheads were either pissed that I was letting the cat out of the bag, or flat out calling me a liar.
I started fishing just before SDFISH started. I learned so much from reading posts from the “regulars”. I’m eternally grateful for that. Keep up the ...

Ive seen purple rats from PB rat. Local maker. Rats are super fun to fish


Thanks @camobass.
They do have some pretty cool looking rats.
A guy at ECBT showed me some pictures of some bass caught at the river using one of those rats.
It definitely looks interesting and may be a ...
