Thank you…..what would be sure nice If in the winter time we could both pick up some nice ones on those Tiny Klashes. One can only dream.

Nice Bucket Mouth! Looks bigger than 7 in the pics. WTG!!


Well pics can make a bass look bigger but being honest about the weight of the bass is what I feel is most important. I just rather be honest about the weight of a bass no matter what the pic looks like, then to BS that a bass is bigger ...

Did a quick session down at the SD River from shore. Took 2 rods and just some light tackle. Arrived around 7am, despite saying to myself that I was going to be there early. I got only 4 bites and landed the 4 bass using a fluke and plastic worms. Nothing real big but still had fun time as the bass ...

What depth were you finding the fish hitting your plastics?


I used to just fish shallow water mostly flippin the tulles and working the edges until they lowered the water too much a
few years ago at Murray. I have been fishing deeper water since then usually trying to find shad schools when ...

Real fishermen or actually smart fishermen know how to correctly spell fishermen….. not fisheromen!

Really enjoyed your report and those were some great photos. Lots of bass must have been
so much fun with the boys. Love that pic with you holding up the big one!
That DT Hula grub has been a plus for me also with a 7lb'er recently at Mur.
Thanks for sharing and tight lines always.

Rare Jackall Clone Fry & Finesse Worm box .
Good luck trying to find a pack of Jackall Clone Fry around these days....but
2 packs that never been used to boot! Both are the Green Shad Clone Fry.
Any bass fisherman that used these baits in the past know what they were all about
and ...

Went to Murray as it got hot very quick(the weather I mean). I messed around with breaking bass that almost all of them were pretty small. Same story as they are feeding on shad and that is what they want. I tried baits that in the past were a sure thing which gets me pretty frustrated when they don ...

I dropped a setup in the lake last Friday and got it back! Definitely worth the try!

Vinny, 8 bass better than no bass! You're just spoiled!


You are right that 8 bass is better than no bass.
I was so hot and miserable when I got home as
my house was like an oven and after putting everything ...

Nice job out there! I think if I stuck to really small small baits, I probably would’ve caught some more fish but after catching a few dinks, I just I just thought I would catch more dinks. Glad to see you found something that works and glad you caught a nice one. I thought that might be you over ...

Flipped a coin and just decided to just take a couple rods down to the SD River for a a short shore section before the heat arrives. A tiny bit cooler with a little early cloud cover, but knew that was not going to last.
I missed a bass on a fluke as it surprised the heck out of me when it hit the ...

Nice job Dan....smart to work the tulles.
Those bigger bass you saw were probably moving in looking for small bluegill. I have seen bass almost beach themselves over
near the far fence line chasing bluegill a few times and especially along the shore to the right of the boat dock.
Tight lines and ...

You never cease to amaze me, especially your great results on the river.


Hey Big C .... I don't come back, you'll know that some homeless guy is using my rods and
all my baits down there in hopes of catching dinner....ha ha.
Fishing from shore is tough when trying to land a bass down there ...

Nice Vinny how come u don’t take the yak over to river and fish from shore any reason or just the haul?


Actually with this extreme heat we been having it is just too exhausting hauling everything back to my truckwith my kayak as I am no spring chicken...ha ha. Normally when it gets real hot in ...

What are you horsing those big fish out with... straight braid??? Extra Heavy rod?


The two rods I took were a Castaway medium mag heavy spinning rod with 30 pound braid and a Dobyns Mag heavy bait caster with 40 pound braid. That bigger fish was peeling out drag and going through all types of ...

Yes sir that’s what I thought river best bite later in year cool Vinny I think Murray about to burst but yeah imma get over there in my yak


Just a little bit of cooler weather well help motivate me and my Kayak down there.
I read some fish reports on other sites saying how tough the top water ...
