Vinny, great job. With the winter we have had those fish are lunkers.

Good to meet the guy behind the fish. Watched you and Dannicus do what you do. I held on to a couple to try out my camera button.

You guys did better than me, I was only able to manage a couple of clones. It was great to see you both out there.

I got to Murray this morning forgetting it was the second Tuesday of the month and it was closed, so I pivoted and went to Mission Bay instead.

I launched from Dana Landing at around 8:30 and the tide was high. I landed a couple of small spotties among the anchored boats, when Fish and Game pulled ...

Hey…it started at Murray

Hey all,
I headed back to Hodges today for a quick morning sesh before work. I got there at 5:30am just like last week but instead of having 25 cars in front of me when I got there I only had 3 today. I know the slow first week and the rain kept people away. But I gots to know! You may or may not ...

After a good year of re-learning the game after about 20 years out, I decided to take the spotty skills I’ve built up to a small local lake before (and during) the storm this week.

Thanks everyone! We’ll see how well I can do balancing the surf, lagoons, and freshwater over spring and summer. Hopefully I can have a little success at each of them! It feels like I could easily spread myself too thin and lose a good handle on the bite in all three areas haha, but we are ...

Well I have to say, I am disappointed in my start at Hodges...but this is most likely due to the super inflated expectations I had built up over the long closure. But here goes...two days last Saturday 2-8 and today Sunday 2-16 for a total of 2 fish, but I will get to that in a second. First of all ...

Nice work. Even better they are on hardbaits. Just sayin.

Nice fish! Do you have to drag what ever your fishing out of far to launch?

a banner across the Lower Otay Reservoir city website says closed on 2/19 due to algae bloom.

Great job and thanks for the update!

Thanks for the update Vinny -- always appreciate them. I haven't caught a bass in months (also haven't been fishing much so there's that). This gives me some motivation.

How has Theo allowed this lack of activity?! Has he discovered girls or something else as nefarious?
