This has been my experience at the Murr lately too!

Full confession, I have a checklist taped to my garage door that I always use before I go anywhere. My last brilliant move was NOT on a checklist. I had a brand new baitcaster all spooled up with some nice braid and a leader tied on, which takes me a while to do, because I get nuts if the knot ...

Good fish! Especially after starting the day by emptying your hooks and sinkers and stuff on the garage floor.

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to manage all my gear but have not been able to.

Perhaps I just need to get a bass boat and have all my gear just thrown in there, and that ...

Frickin' Vinny! Awesome brother!

I can surely feel your pain. Many years ago I bought a huge Plano that was compartmentalized with separate slide out boxes. Its as big as a damn tv. And thats pretty much what i called it. I had terminal tackle in top and 4 full boxes , jigs sencos and one for cranks and the last for craws. At ...

So, i fish for bass in various methods, and none have allowed me to retain any level of organization.

1. Co-angler on my buddy's boat. There is nothing worse than someone who brings 2 bags, a cooler, 9 rods, etc. on someone else's boat. I have a buddy who no longer will fish with my friend simply ...

....golf clap...

I cant believe your catch rate. Insane!

Thanks all for the recommendations on where to fish on Sunday. I did end up going to Otay and met Corsoenthusiast (SP?) out there. Shortly after the sun came up we and about 30 of our closest boats, tubes, yaks and shore guys were on the fish. It seemed that everyone ...

Nice job out there and enjoyed the video as always!
It’s fun to try something a little different, especially when it works. Actually @CorsoEnthusiast the other year told me using hover rigs and I was picking up some bass on that unusual rig also. It’s amazing how many techniques can pop up ...

2 Bites, 2 Fish! Batting 1,000 on the Texas Rig. Thanks for sharing!
Or is that a Tokyo?

Nice fish brother. Hows Murray been treating you?

Fun!

5 bass today at Otay. 4 of them were 1.5 to 3 lb clones and the largest went 5.4 lbs. All of them were on a chatterbait. I went to Otay arm to try hover strolling but there was really nothing going on there. None of the boats, yaks, or tubes reporting much success so I started working deeper ...

I got on the lake just after the gates opened and had basically circumnavigated it by 10 am. I caught a few of the usual clones and bluegill and decided to head back to the launch ramp to warm up a bit and relieve myself (because I suspect peeing one's waders is ill advised).

As I approached the ...

Up until yesterday Murray appeared slow. I really didn't see anyone killing it! Those kids, either by design or happenstance, really stumbled on THE technique. I was happy for them and it was good to see someone really killing it out there!

Not really knowing anything about ice jigs I just ordered ...

Had a great time at Otay today. Final count was 11 fish total, all of them were over 3lbs, with a couple just shy of 5. I put in at the ramp and caught a few along the tulies as I headed to Otay arm. I caught the majority of them working among the trees at the tip of the arm. Every fish was on a ...

Jigging Rap was introduced in 1961. I love it when an old timey nearly forgotten lure kicks butt of new lures.

3 poundish fish, at El Cap on a crankbait. Was fan casting with a 12-15 foot diver as I was kicking to the first spot and she smashed it on the second cast. Couldn’t make a pattern out of it. The water is so low right now that to get into any depth in the front of the lake you’re out in the middle ...

Awesome Jeremy! Hope to hook up for a trip next year! It's always fun hanging and fishing with you mate.
