Junebug craw always gets one or two there for ya usually a nice one maybe lack of rain didn’t flushed it out toxicity must b really high and oxygen low my guess what a bummer

Had a great 28 fish day today at the Murr. Almost all fish came courtesy of a BFS crankbait. Most of the bass were healthy in the 2+ pound range with 2 of them over 3 lbs.

However the biggest surprise of the day was a nice slab crappie. I fish Murray an average of 3 days per week for the last 3 ...

at lake Murray this morning fishing off the shore I caught with everything I tied on…no big ones but it made my day

I never believe what anyone says gotta find out for my hardheaded self also

Jennings is a great one for shore fishing. Santee lakes too =D Good Luck!

Hit santee lakes this morning as soon as they opened to the public 7am hit lakes 2 and 3 for nothing and finally hit lake 4 I fished all around the pond and was on my phone not paying attention when i noticed my line moving to the left I quickly set the hook and I was insta hooked up with this nice ...

Yeah, DV is way better than VD.

An oil painting...I'm thinking more like water colors! Good thing you didn't come out to the D.K. yesterday, with temps in the high 90s and 30mph Santa Ana's blowing...you would of been screaming like a little girl! Plus, you wouldn't want to be catching bigger fish....lol lol lol lol ! Maybe next ...

No Bull! Well, a couple! But the wind was serious! Only the second fired up school I have encountered! Very fun!

Been about a week and a half since my last trip to Murray which was fun and topped off with a 5.50 lb bass. Always pretty excited to be back on the water at Murray, but something seemed strange. Scouting around there was literally no busters anywhere. I think I only saw one but the lake surface ...

Went back to the well at my current favorite lake in San Diego County looking to take advantage of the hot springtime bite that has been going on. The video is compilation of my last 2 trips out there, one in the boat and one walking and wading. Had 7-8 fish per trip with plenty of 2-4lb footballs ...

Started the morning in the rental boat at 520 went strait to beginning of Harvey was able to do the norm catch couple everytime I moved down 100 yds started with 8 my buddy 10 after couple hours of drizzle and glassy waters the bite shut down for couple hours for us from id say 9-12 so we went to ...

Heck yeah! Nice job out there! :-)


Ty Vinny yeah Murray bass can get finicky I do think it’s so weird how Murray can turn off flip of a switch otay is always a good time nice place wasn’t to crowded lady office said lightning forced everyone off lake on sat was a tournament also they all had to ...

, I must admit that I'm guilty of picking a fish off your spot early but that wind was brutal, good for showing determination . That police blotter by Vinny is hilarious

Well, I have driven by for years and never stopped to fish...what is wrong with me? Finally gave it a try and rented a boat last Sunday. I mostly wanted to learn about the lake and try a lot of things and that we did. Got a plopper fish early while my buddy Chris was throwing flys at the carp ...

Last time I saw you post about a rare shore outing, you stuck a 9ish pounder on a black Hud at Murray. No 9 pounder this time, but still got one=D

I did not miss 5 straight bass...I was practicing early catch and release...I'm not used to fishing fat baits like you, I'm going back to my finesse baits!

That fish is all head. She could use a couple of Filet O Fish Sandwiches and maybe a cheeseburger.
Sure looks like great conditions!

I have endured Mr. Vinnybass harassing me for years, questioning my quanity over quality attitude..so today I put away my finesse baits and brought out the bigger stuff! The good news..I averaged bigger fish (I think). The bad news...my quanity was way down! The worse news...Vinny caught more than ...

He intentionally catches anorexic fish...thinks he's doing them a favor!

I think I do the same thing, but only when I gut hook them....
