After some quality bigger fish yesterday it was back to clones at Murray today. I actually wasn't going to post, but I just had to share a picture of this pretty clone I caught. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It had the most beautiful golden almost orange tone to it. Very dark and vivid ...

Eurotackle stuff is legit. Baits I’ve used have run true with some good hooks for being so small. These are on the Z-cranker

Rad day at Murray. I stopped counting at 30 fish. Lots of bass in the high 2 pound range and 3 fish over 3 pounds. Also caught the biggest bluegill I've ever seen. Fat as hell. It's mouth was big enough for my scale and it weighed in at 2.54 lbs.

So much fun, it almost makes me regret leaving on ...

Not to shabby

It's always a fun time when you've got Vinnybass and Fisheromen on the lake with you! DK was in my wheelhouse today! I mixed it up today throwing various plastics and picked up 31 fish, mostly the clone variety...but fun, fun, fun! Mr. Vinny always inspires me to throw different baits, since he is ...

I don't know what it is, to me all those sunfish and different kinds of bluegill all fall under the broad category of "bluegill". It does have sort of crappie markings to me though. It sure was big.

Great job out Dan!
I a so curious to know is how many times do you circle the lake? I have watched you cover the whole lake fishing along the shorelines. That is really smart thinking because you’re covering so much area where most people just hit a handful of spots. The more areas you cover ...

No Crappie hybrids?

Hey @Fisheromen ....That fish you lost right near you looked pretty big from my view across the lake.
Plastic worm?

Jig! Nearly took the rod out of my hand! 2nd big fish I released prematurely!

That lake may as well be known as Lago McFish. You did well tho!

I was there bank fishing to the left of the launch ramp and saw you guys come in. Heard something like float tube vs air craft carrier .
Seemed like the ranger just wanted to talk and talk and talk. I left with 8 from the bank in 2 1/2 hours, biggest like 2 1/2#

Nice to read about you guys adventures on one of my favorite lakes. I sure miss that place, and those green fishies.

Birding and photos are not much more different than trophy hunting for bass or animals. Scratches the same itch.

Finally got my new to me kayak out to the water. The day didn't start off great as a buried a treble hook just passed the barb into my finger. Luckily was able to get it out and keep on going! Ended up with four and lost one. Still learning to fish off the kayak but can't wait to get this out more!

It's such a great lake! Glad you had a fun time=D

Had a really fun day today out there. Not many boats and the fish are chewing! It’s really sad that it’s going to be shut down soon!

Put 14 bass and an ambitious bluegill in the boat today. All but one on power fishing techniques. Finally got my first Neko Rig fish which was nice.

Gunfish ...

Thanks Maestro! It was a bit crowded, especially now that the lake is a mere pond

My son and I fished Barrett on opening weekend. I never bought into the talk about 100 bass days. Well, I caught 106 and now I am a believer. As you can imagine, I wasn’t expecting much at Murray this morning. I ended up having one of my best days at Murray. It started out slow for me so I switched ...

Got there prob around 10am decided to shore fish w friend I don’t like holidays people or traffic so we walked past everyone to rock piles middle lake from the ramp we both got 1 there decided to fish the big coves back after couple hours I ended w 4 he got 3 my biggest 4.5 on the dolive craw ...

Thanks, Vinny. I don’t have it dialed in like you but Murray is solid when it’s on. Seems like the summer pattern is finally here.
