It's my pointer! It just grew from sitting in the water....yeah, that's it!

It was a nice morning. Then the sun decided come on on high heat. Busters were everywhere you looked. Which way to go, I went that way. The fishing was interesting. I could get them on the swirl but the bait I was using, I couldn't cast it very far. I got a couple dragging the bottom. I was moving ...

I dropped a setup in the lake last Friday and got it back! Definitely worth the try!

Vinny, 8 bass better than no bass! You're just spoiled!


You are right that 8 bass is better than no bass.
I was so hot and miserable when I got home as
my house was like an oven and after putting ...

When I went to Murray on Tuesday the lake was alive with busters everywhere. Yesterday it had calmed down considerably. I still managed a few topwater early, but it got hot.

I started focusing on shady pockets in the tules, and found some jig success that way. Surprisingly, I saw a couple of very ...

SD river after seeing my fishing posts of me fishing from shore down there. Luckily a friend who used to work with me
who was a photographer at the Union-Tribune forwarded me this pic of @Mcfish . He looks ...

Beast of a 7 pounder right there. Looks bigger, again. I was picturing a tarpon or marlin jumping with you were describing the 4 pounder jumping.
Way to go!

Nice fish and thanks for the loot!

With the Murr closed I decided to go to the captain yesterday after dropping off the kids at school. I didn't get on the water till a little after 9, and caught the very tail end of the morning busters.

I got 1 on a Gunfish early, and then had to move down in the water column. Picked up a few more ...

Hey all,
Headed back to Miramar to see if anything had changed. Got 1 whopper plopper and a couple on a t-rigged ZMan Mag Fattyz (biggest was 3.46). Then came back a couple days later and got 1 on a Ned Shot Rig (ZMan trick shotz in Meat Dog). The fish have gone deep ...

I remember maybe 10 years ago I had decided that jigs were some kind of elaborate joke created by pros and perpetrated on us mere mortals. Over the years I had tried jigs on numerous occasions, and all I ever caught was grass, moss, and tree branches. Not to mention losing a bunch of them after ...

Good job Vinny! High risk, high reward!

They all look healthy. Good stuff.
Is that a Bandit Crankbait?

Vinny showing once again that he is king of the river! Great job brother!
