Hey! Yep, you can definitely kayak at Lake Henshaw. It’s a great spot for a peaceful paddle, and you can even do a bit of fishing while you're out there. Just make sure to check current conditions and any rental or launch rules before you go. Enjoy 8-)


False. Only boats. Too windy, too many ...

Well I thought it would be a good morning to pay a visit to fellow SDFish bass fishermen Mcfish and Fisheromen on their home lake. Yes, I decided to venture off a lot further than my normal less than 2 mile drive to Murray, to the Lake of D & K. My first visit this year and was greeted by Mcfish in ...

Great job out there this morning. You really
know every nook and cranny on your home lake
where bass will be….and get them to bite. Every time I heard “oh yeah!”… I knew you were hooking up another bass. It was fun out there and glad I got to witness you in action doing what you do best.
Tight lines ...

Nice job out there. Looks like you guys had a great time and those are some really healthy fish you got. What a great way to forget about Lake Murray. Thanks for sharing and tight lines always buddy.

Any estimates on the size of the one that got away?

I weighed his five pounder and I was pretty close to McFish when he lost that other one and from my view could’ve pulled around 7 pounds.

Wow…Great job out there!
Sounds like a lot of fun with all that bass action.
Thank you so much for sharing and tight lines always .

No prob Vinny when I told Dan I been reading your reports since way back before sdfish went offline glad u brought it back 👍


I didn’t personally bring it back, but I’m so glad it’s back also. Always a fun place to share fishing adventures. Enjoyed your post and look forward to many more. Tight ...

Hey Rob, great to see another video from you which are always enjoyable….especially the soundtracks. Hope you’re doing well and thanks for sharing your fishing adventure at El Cap with us. Look forward to seeing more posts from you.
Tight lines always buddy

Thanks for sharing your adventure at Otay.
Looks like you had some fun from looking
at the pics. Those cats really fight like heck
and find ways to get unbuttoned.
Tight lines

Dan, I had first hand experience watching you catch bass after bass after bass using your BFS gear. When you showed me the baits and equipment you use it was pretty amazing to me. Here I have everything that’s heavy, extra heavy, or mag heavy but you’re living proof that you don’t need all that to ...

Nice job out there. Always a little less when spawned out, but still some nice looking bass and most of all bet you had a great time. As soon as I see your name on a post or see you in person at a lake, the first thing I think is I bet he is catching bass on jerk baits. Always fun to have a go-to ...

There is always a period after the spawn that slows things down as a few recent trips to Murray have been tougher.
I also stop the lake pretty often and talk to other fishermen and it seems that most agree it has slowed down. That doesn't mean you can't catch bass, but for me it has been a lot of ...

I spoke to you briefly out there. Slow for me as well, but I also got a “better” one. I was wondering how you did.

Very nice!!!
I probably should’ve worked the tulles
and shoreline rather than stay out in deep water.
Anyway, tight lines and hope to see you out there again ...

You are so lucky to be able to fish 6 days....or
is it 7 days a week?
I only wish I could fish as often as you, but my arms would be so sore from fishing and then trying to type all the fish reports, my fingers would go into shock...ha ha.
Nice job out there Dan! Those are some healthy fish and ...

WOW......Great job out there guys!
You were in some great company BigC fishing with Max. Getting jiggly with it eh?
Looks like you will adding a lot of new baits(jigs) to your arsenal. I worry about
those bass in Minnesota when you start enticing them with no doubt a big selection
of jigs. Thank ...

Heck yeah! Glad you had fun bass fishing at El Cap with your son.
It's a dang shame that the water is being released so much, but at least you got out there in time and from looking at the pics and reading your report....all had a great day! Thank you for sharing with us
and tight lines always.

I remember last year they were releasing tons of gallons of water out of El Cap right down into the San Diego river which was absolutely ridiculous.
So sad!

If you know and throw swimbaits, then you know what this bait is all about so there is no need to explain it in detail. Check out videos on it on YouTube if you must.
Bottomline: This ...

Going back to the original question, I believe you cannot go wrong with any of those brands... Garmin, Lowrance, and Hummingbird.
I hear lots of good things about Garmin but have never used their units. I have personally used Hummingbird and Lowrance and
my 2 cents for what it is worth is that I ...

Nice job again Dan! I believe that you now fish 8 days....I mean 7 days a week, which sounds incredible and those bass at the lakes
probably know you on a first name basis. Tight lines always. Hold the next bass left handed...for a different angle...ha ha JK
