Awesome but yes we can and should do better.


Anderson beat Vaus by around 300 votes. It was us that pushed him over the top. Who knows if, as the incumbent, he feels he needs us now?
He can do better not only because he got the election with our votes, but because he said he wants to keep his ...

Yes I applaud Supervisor Anderson and all the fisherman who took the time to sign the petition. Maybe.......just maybe he might consider chiming in on the one day a month lake closure issue? That was just such a stupid decision the City made that caught us all by surprise. Any ideas how we can start ...

Well you should walk through those rocks Vinny. There's probably $200 of Dan lures spread in there.

On this day of FREEDOM and PATRIOTISM, I have some evidence that points to California Regulators for several departments and Federal Cabinet-level offices and congressmen flat-out suppressing, and having for four years now separately and jointly suppressed environmental protection and public ...

I was fishing Henshaw on Wed when a storm rolled into the valley around noon. Lightning and thunder were going off in the distance and we made our way back towards the car to be safe, but as it approached from the south, the wind blew it east and we were able to keep fishing with lightning strikes ...

Pretty awesome for you to see it unfold. 25% contained as of now

We had a lightning strike at the end of our dirt road about 25 years ago that started a fire followed by a giant down pour about 20 minutes later that extinguished the fire.

What Vinny said. You can't launch power boats on Friday. Tubes and yaks are fine. Fishing stinks!

Every few years we get a few new fishermen on here that could use this knowledge.

Half of the patterns we use to catch Bass involve the bait getting swallowed. A hook is caught in the gut of the bass, making it hard to remove. If you just pull it straight out you’re killing the fish. There’s a ...

That's a shame , I picked up 15 bags of clone Fry's there after they disappeared from the face of the planet.

OMG....you hit a goldmine getting those that day. I remember searching through my garage and all my tackle just to gather
up about a dozen of them when you could not find there ...

Haven't done too much fishing this year at least locally. Anyways figured I'd share some photos with you all since I haven't posted here In a while. I find it rather difficult to upload photos on here so I made a little slide show to post.

Started out my year down in Cabo for 3 days. Caught ...

This is a 5 inch ZMan Streakz. Along with a Gamakatzu light wire 4/0 Hook, skip casted way back under cover on 30 Braid. It floats. Of the 11 Bass I caught between 7-9 pounds this year , I landed 9 on this.

Definitely the Strike King Bitsy Bug Jig with the Berkley Craw Fatty trailer. It's been money all year.

Megabass Ito Vision 110 Junior +1

I'm gonna cheat and change my vote after the last few weeks LOL. My favorite bait this year, responsible for my big fish of the year and lots of my most fun catches of the year is the RAID Japan 5" Super Fish Roller. Who says you need sonar to hover stroll? 8-)

the mb karashi and deps wakasagi were fun to use this year

Definitely the Strike King Bitsy Bug Jig with the Berkley Craw Fatty trailer. It's been money all year.


I have used these a few times, but only the ones sold at Walmart. They have always been 1/4 ounce and white plus another natural color only. Your post led me to find them at Tackle ...

4" Kitech easy shiner, caught Calico, sandbass, spotted bay bass, and LMB.
3" version catches trout and smallmouth too, but didn't do much of that this year.

I think the Senko has a *tad* more versatility than a Robo, so that would be my choice.

The Senko type bait all the way. Traditional Texas rig, on a Nedhead, dropshot, Carolina rig, weightless, drag over weeds, even on a darter head. Regular worms are a little more difficult to cast in an unweighted presentation.

I fished with a de facto guide one a very pressured lake in SoCal.

I learned 2 new techniques that I would've never thought would work, and they were completely polar opposites, but both using the same bait...a Senko.

Every fished a Senko as a topwater? ;-) You'll be surprised what happens if you ...
