Waste of manpower and money my thoughts

You had me sympathetic up til the 14 part…

Love to hear these reports from one of my favorite old stomping (and splashing) grounds. The picture of the bass with a hand poured worm hanging out of its mouth reminds me of how LM bassl-ess it is up here and how no tackle shops actually carry any types of plastic worms up here.

Enjoyed your post, sounds like a fun day.
Can you launch a boat it’s two years since I’ve fished there and last time it was a little tricky launching?
New hat hey, I like it now we know you’re not recycling pictures. HaHa

If it isn’t Hardwood, it will just wilt and decay on the bottom. However, Hardwood will last a decade. In Louisiana, they pound sharpened PVC pipe into the lake bottom in a grid pattern. All point up, within a few weeks, algae covers the pipes turning them green, and Bluegill and Shad feed on the ...

Classic D.K..! If you want the better fish, you have to be on the rock piles or the trees! Even better is where the trees meet the rocks! The down side, I lost at least 4 nice fish and re-tied alot of leaders. I probably shredded at least 30' of leader material! If you just want sheer numbers of ...

The best color I donated to the lake via a hard hookset last week...Ghost Minnow!

I love me a Gunfish. That little pop-chug as it walks is the bomb.

Late post but wanted to share. Fished Murray Thursday morning. I was able to hit this beauty off a drop shot. Pulled some drag and immediately knew it was a good one. Biggest one for me this year. Scaled at 4.14lbs. Tight lines guys!

Fishermen don’t exist at night, nothing to see here, just the wind and a Stick…

First day back from vacay. Hit Murray as the gate opened. Caught perhaps a dozen but all were of the smaller dinks and clones variety. About half of them were topwater, and the rest all came courtesy of small crankbaits.

Like I said, nothing big, but it felt great to get back on San Diego water. It ...

They don’t wave a giant flag for everyone to see either. Lmao

6 am check in. Haven't been here in a while, water is down 3 to 4' from when I was there last. Changed everything. I went to my favorite first stop and had to figure it out. No topwater for me, no real busters. Fluke did okay, but I noticed this guy just going off on them. I couldn't stand it and ...

Fished Lower Otay last Wednesday and had a decent day as far as numbers go. Water temps pushing over 79 degrees and pretty stained down the Harvey Arm. Lots of blowups right at the bank and we had most of our success with finesse like weightless Senko and Neko rigs. Decided to throw a jackhammer w ...

Saw that as well. I was wondering what it was. Never got down that way but I have the same picture . Frog bite kept me from moving around. better than Barrett.

Fished here this afternoon for the 1st time ever. Miramar gate was closed. 1st Tuesday. Had to audible, Murray it was.
No idea where was good, just got out and hit the cove across the way from the launch ramp. I seen some 4/5# cruising but they ignored or scared away from baits. Pretty tough go 1st ...

bay

I went to Murray Monday. Caught lot's -O -phish but all dinks and clones. Same thing yesterday at Otay. Maybe Murray will treat me better today

I made a trip to Murray last week. No topwater. A couple on Texas rig. 14 on a 3" fluke style bait. A couple 4lbers and as it has been a bigger one that got away.

There’s a couple better ones in there. Don’t be so hard on yourself
