The topwater bite went off for a couple of hours today at Murray. Pulled in 8, all of them looked about the same. Nothing huge but still a ton of fun.

On a side note, I threw numerous topwater baits; poppers, walking baits, and even a fluke, and the only thing I could get them to hit was a small ...

It was nice chatting with you brother!

Brush Hogs work and they are priced right too.

Nice day at the river! Congrats

Went for a walk with the 3 amigos. Caught several fish on each lure. Biggest was shy of 5 on a Matt waker.

Great job out there Vinny! I love doing the bait deep dive. Keep it up. That’s one place I’ve never fished. It always looks interesting. Cheers!

Hey....just curious on if others throw Zoom Brushhogs. They been around since 1977 and decades ago they were pretty darn
popular as a very popular type of creature baits. I remember using them back then, especially at El Cap and Morena
with great results. Then years later they(many ...

There was a time, especially before I got the swim bait bug, the only plastics I fished were watermelon red flake brush hawgs… I won’t lie, there were quite a few bags of chocolate blue veins still in the garage on stand by. It is an amazing g bait. When the bite is tough, split shotting tiny brush ...

Well it has been a while since I posted but thought I would throw up a collection of fish from a few different outings to my favorite local piece of water...so here they are, in mo particular order...actually they are chronological (most recent on the bottom...)

Nice job Vinny! You know how to find them.

Great job finding a pattern and having fun with it!

There are a couple of local creeks that are a lot of fun...and you can hear traffic whizzing by on the street, and hikers and mountain bike riders passing by. Most of the fish are small, but every so often....

Awesome brother. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow!

Had an awesome topwater at Murray today! I didn't really keep count but landed somewhere near a couple of dozen. Most were 1-2 pounders with several dinks and the wannabe Godzilla bass in the 3rd pic! But hey, it's topwater and always exciting so I'm not complaining!

Are you running just a straight swimbait or does that fluke have a swimbait tail on it?
Nice work out there!

That fish look like it has some shoulders. Better to be lucky that good any day of the week. But we all know you know what you're doing on the water=)

Anything over 3...nevermind!

Beastly looking fish!

Healthy critter!!

I knew a nice bass was coming in your compelling story. Your patience paid off.

That's Genius! Never seen them before. Love it=)
With the weather cooling off I bet your bite picks up even more.
Thanks for sharing!

Is in the water now.

Hiked around with my dad for a bit, he caught several small bass on an inline spinner. I got none.

I could see a bass feeding frenzy that lasted a long time, but couldnt quite reach them from shore
