Nice job out there. Fishing small bodies of water are fun, especially when you catch nice bass!
Thanks for sharing.
Tight lines.

....and Tight Lines of course!

Awesome! Can we get hot baits in BFS section?

Haha
I can't tell if you are being sarcastic, but I will if you want. I didn't know if people were even reading posts in that section.


Dan, you’ve been awesome on sharing your personal BFS information which is fantastic and shows what a true ...

Awesome! I’m at the gas pump right now and heading down.


I'm guessing you mean the 7/11, just a quick recommendation, after our fishing day we ate at the Mexican Restaurant in that complex, it's excellent and really well priced.


Very highly regarded with the locals, glad you tried it ...

Hi Vinny, I pretty much only can get a couple things there, and pretend I'm still a vegetarian although it's a pleasant fiction since the bean burrito or tostada is full of pork lard. I think it's legitimately good. Can't believe your circuit for fishing. I need a nap after a morning fish session ...

Was on vacation and between doing lots around the house have not been fishing much. Yeah caught some dinks the week before last at Murray, but nothing to get too excited about. Since I haven't posted for a while, I decided to post a quick report from fishing the SD River this morning. The water has ...

What the heck kind of rig is that on the senko?


It is just a weighted Gamakatsu hook

with a senko.....and I forgot to take off the sinker stop off the line from the last bait on that rod. Nothing weird. Just me being lazy since I throw a lot of Texas rigs so I always leave the ...

Missed three weeks of top water fun as I was working in Italy. Got some at Otay last week and today at Miramar had some more topwater action. Absolutely a gorgeous day with only one other boat on the water.

Nice job out there Michael. Always can visualize you holding a bass with ...

Those weighted hooks are super versatile. They work real good in the kelp too.

Don't use the weighted hooks that often, but it makes the senko a little more weedless as a
Neko rigged senko gets hung up a lot when
flipping into heavy cover.

Fish otay today. Noon till 4:45 PM. Started out calm and after about an hour got white caps balance of the day in Harvey’s. 61° but with the wind, it felt like 50°Threw the lipless, underspin, super spook for Nada. Went to Old Faithful, gunFish and got four blowups and landed three.


Very nice ...

No crowds! Wow!
Tight lines always Tony.

Nice job out there Dan.
Actually my last couple trips (one a while back and recent yesterday when were there) were pretty darn tough. I threw so many baits in those 2 trips that I could have broke a count clicker if I clicked on it every time a different bait went into the water. You actually are ...

Thought this was a perfect photo to show of me flying down Lake Murray blvd with my truck and boat instead of posting pics of small (and even tiny) bass I have caught recently at Lake Murray.
Actually I have not fished much at all this month and yeah recently at Murray caught one ...

The water is turning at the SD River...it is murky and green stained and also cold now. Put those things together and it was tough fishing. Did get 2 small bass on a Flashy swimmer with a Keitech trailer and got one bass flippin' a creature bait.
It was the biggest of the small bass so I included a ...

Thanks for sharing.
I take all the info I get from you regulars (Lake, SD River, Colorado River, IB Valley, Etc.) and try to use it on the rare times I get out there!


Most of the time I’m mixing it up between a Googan Krackin craw, Zoom Brush hog, Senko or a curly tail or straight plastic worm ...

Dang Dan, I need to look around the SDFish site more as your new ride is awesome! I saw what Chris got and just now got a better look at
your set up. Wow! I know it looks great in the water, but seeing it in the pics really shows how cool it is. Thanks for sharing and tight lines
always. I see you ...

Speaking of small fish.....look at one of the beasts I caught recently at Mur.
Just gotta laugh sometimes. Bigger bass are just around the corner.....hopefully.

Seeing that we are the only ones on SDFish fishing the lake....you are right! ha ha.

Back for another quick river session as I decided to try something different after catching nothing but dinks over at Murray. I mean I have worked hard and only been ending up with small bass. Anyway....after tons of casts into the green strained water of the SD River and time flying by, I finally ...
