Well since I have been enjoying the Skeeter so much this year, I wanted to go again. Worried about El Caps ramp and Friday's warming temp (I like to fish when it's cooler for sure), I headed down to Otay.

Got there at the crack of dawn, Headed to Otay Arm and got one right away on the whopper ...

I got a couple on the TK down there last weekend. Planning to head back this weekend hopefully

Had a fun day at Murray. Managed 14 bass. Granted the majority were in the 2 pound class but never the less, lots of activity, and great fights on my light gear! I'll post the bait that got most of the love today in the BFS section.

So, as predicted I went to Hodges today (Saturday) and got lots of action. some early morning topwater blowups, but did not land any of them. Not sure if it was me or the fish...I'll say it was them. A few pics and then a funny story.

You too Vinny! I rarely fish Fridays but my kid had testing sooo...
I caught a couple of topwater and crankbait fish early but mostly focused on the edges of the tules. All in the 2 pound range. I lost count but it was over a dozen or so. I'm looking forward to some bigger fish making themselves ...

Minnow was working well today. Landed around a dozen or so.

Had some fun while on the road last week. I hit the river under the I-10 bridge on the AZ side for some smallmouth on Monday....Hit a pond near St George Utah on Thurs and headed out to fish the Highline canal near El Centro last night for some evening fishing. Mixed bag but watch to see some ...

Come on let us know when you won the lottery so you’re able to fish so often? Just kidding you of course but I wanted to say that’s a pretty good day out there at Morena even if most of them were small. Had lots of great bass fishing days in the 80s and 90s out there and know that things have ...

I see a lot of anglers are using it. I also see the controversy it is causing in the tournament world. Some even blaming low tournament signups and falling sport interest on it.

I myself have never used it. My ignorant opinion from the outside looking in, would be negative. These are my thought ...

After 2 weeks of catching mostly dinks and one pounders, I finally got onto a bite today with better quality fish. 9 total fish all two plus pounds with the best going three and a half.

All in all a pretty fun morning.

Got out in the water about 6:30 and there were about 5 trailers in the lot. Word must have gotten out that the lake was still launchable because by about 9:00 there were boats on almost every bit of exposed rock on the lake!

Caught 10 today. Biggest was just over 3lbs and best five probably went ...

Here is a pic of, what used to be, Boulder Bay and the depth in the middle of the lake outside of it.

I use old school forward facing sonar.
