The Crappie Boys! In a month they'll be gone!

Was going to ask about the line, especially in that clear water. Bet you were glad you had every one of those 12lbs.

So just FYI, I took down the video from Youtube. I didn't realize at the time or when I posted that there are no longer boats allowed in Hidden Bay. It hasn't always been like that and the sign is in the middle of the bay and I was so focused on looking for fish I didn't see it. I am a rule follower ...

Damn!!! NICE!
Plenty of worse crimes going unchecked….all good in my book

Another Sunday, another 4 mile walk...with some fishing. Went late, got to ticket purchase around 1:30...then over to the other side for a walk to the dam. I always tell myself that I am going to walk fast to the dam and then fish slow on the way back...but that never happens. I decided to stick ...

Rod Serling fishing!

That's a lot of 4s =D Maybe you should start fishing 4ward facing sonar, Haha.
Those Murray Bass look healthy. Way to get out there!

Quick stop on the way home from work and no skunk...that is all that matters. Lot of younger fisherman working the gigantic glide baits and trout looking swimbaits...but I was mostly working old faithful...the weightless Texas plastic worm...seems like it works...

Awesome Vinny! Now imagine if that was on BFS gear hmmmmm? Great report as usual!

Nice day at The Captain. I only had about 3 hours to fish but with Murray closed I decided on a quick trip to El Cap.

I didn't get on the water till after 9 and picked up a few drinks and clones casting a jig to rocky bank areas. It started pretty slow, but I finally found a pattern. The larger ...

Those nicer river bass, seen to always have a yellowish hue to them?
Thanks for sharing

Nice healthy bass you got there is that a red plum blue flake color? That color hits this time around ....

Quantity over Quality...I'm practicing for the Bass tour that uses the number of fish caught to determine the champion! Yeah, that's what I'm doing! Size doesn't matter...I think I heard that somewhere??? That's why I always release my large fish on the jump..just thinking of their welfare!


I ...

Is this LAFish?…… I thought it was SDFish?
Just messing with you, being a Padres fan.
I have to give you props for some well written and interesting stories, and nice pics. I have never fished up in the LA area but it looks like there’s a lot of of interesting places to catch bass. Anyway, tight ...

I fished for 5 hours at Murray today and the lake served up a humongous steaming plate of deep fried skunk. I threw everything, cranks, jerks, topwater, flukes, jigs, worms...literally every type of bait I had, and nary even a nibble.

Report over lol. I'm off to get Tylenol and bourbon.

IMG_0924.jpeg Got to Murray around 6:45am. Tiny bass busting near launch. Not one hookup. Kinda set the tempo for the morning.
Got a couple dinks on the jerkbait. I moved around a lot. No discernible pattern could be found.
Bumped into the biggest of the day on a dropshot. Only went 1.3#.
Ended ...

I had a similar experience. I got on the water at 8 and didn't get a single bite in 5 hours....go figure. Glad you avoided the skunk though...

Fun day at the home lake today! I was hoping that it would produce today since I talked Vinny into making the trip out to my neighborhood! The pattern today was pretty much the opposite of last week! I got into a shallow bite today that wasn't around last week. The fish were mostly fun clone size ...

I've seen him do it too! Good job Vinny. I need to get there at some point before I head out of state for the summer. Sounds like you guys had fun.

After back to back skunk sandwiches at Murray this week, I decided to go to Otay. Met up with CorsoEnthusiast and his brother bright and early.

My final count for the day was 14, with nearly half being over 3 and the biggest weighing 4.2. you know it's a pretty good day when a 2.5 pounder feels ...
