Very nice Dan.

Heck yeah Dan! Nice job on Bass, Crappie and Bluegill!
Tight lines always amigo.

I ventured over to Murray with my kayak this morning as today was going to be the only day I could fish this week. Water levels at Murray is up and down every few days now as I stop by the lake often and check it out at the boatramp. What was a foot or two above the average level last week which was ...

Why you making fun of small jerkbaits?
Nice job!


It was fun having those bass bang that thing and can see how much fun you have throwing them.
And of course I only used a small one to have a better chance of catching those little buggers.
You have proven time after time that jerkbaits don’t ...

In my book a fish is a fish. What size Gunfish And Jerk bait were you using?


Vito, just recently I bought a few Gunfish 75NF because of the success a couple buddies have had.
I have never prior to that thrown one that small, but I think it does better at matching the bait(shad)
that the bass ...

Yes most lakes offer rentals, I know with certainty that the following lakes do:

Lake Murray
Lower Otay
San Vicente
Lake Wohlford
Sutherland
Morena
Barrett (reservations through Ticketmaster)
Miramar
Lake Jennings

Lake wohlford has aluminum Jon boats with outboards and bow mounted trolling ...

Man I’d take a single 4lber over big numbers any day! I think I was referring to Mcfish when talking about double digit days lol he puts up numbers! I bought a few spybaits last year and have been forcing myself to use them cause they were pricey, lots of casting but it’s fun when I get bored of ...

Very nice and pond bass are fighters!
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah @Mcfish I've been working on him too. I even loaned him a BFS rig to try out, but it reels left handed so he couldn't get the hang of it. So who's the real sissy here lol.


The rig is cool, but this "sissy" has been using right handed bait casters for about 55 years and it just does not ...

that the bass are chasing. I have had most of my luck on the chrome colored one.

"I guess I should be clearer, on a jerkbait do you use straight braid and on worms or craw baits, if you use Flo or mono on topwater I thought that they both sink so why wouldn’t you use braid as it floats, sorry about so many questions but you consistently catch fish and I’m appreciative of your ...

I never said BFS never works in grass (even though McFish tried to quote me with out me saying a word….. but after all he is Mcfish).
Anyway, I just wanted to say what a nice job you did out there at El cap.
Tight lines always buddy!

Good job Dan.
Thats why I always mix up a lot of my baits and throw a lot of different things. Because I believe the bass have seen so many baits that are normal…. It’s fun to try a lot of different things. Looks like you had fun. Thanks for sharing and tight lines always

Nice to see you back on the water. It always feels nice. We were away most of those past week and even in those four days… it feels like I haven’t been in the water in a long, long time ha ha. Hopefully you’ll get out of the water a lot more and we will see a lot more reports. Tight lines always.

Maybe the first time I looked at a pic that was not a bass and was very impressed. Yummy!!!!!
At least you got out on water and caught some and know the bass bite will be better next trip for sure.
Thanks for sharing and making my mouth water....ha ha. Tight lines buddy

With a very hot day ahead, I was going to stay home but decided to go to Murray. Finally got on the water a little after 7am and messed around trying to catch one of the bass chasing shad along the surface. It was next to impossible as those little buggers were up and down quickly but did pick up ...

VB am I seeing that DT hula jig pinned on a weedless ned rig?


Why, yes you are!
And those little weedless weighted Ned rigs
work well with craw baits also. I like putting
Googan Krackin craws and Strike King Rage
craws on them.


Brilliant. As usual. Thx!


Not brilliant….. just lots ...

What's with the bobber stoppers?


I have a lot of rods on the deck of my boat and probably was throwing a Texas rig with that fishing rod at a previous time. Actually a number of my rods have bobber stops on the line and often I just slide them up to line a little so I don’t have to put new ones ...

I need spot lock for my kayak.......(you interested in selling?)
Hey Dave,
Nice job out there, especially in the dang heat. Catching bass overshadows the heat.
Thanks for sharing and tight lines always buddy.
