Fish otay today. Noon till 4:45 PM. Started out calm and after about an hour got white caps balance of the day in Harvey’s. 61° but with the wind, it felt like 50°Threw the lipless, underspin, super spook for Nada. Went to Old Faithful, gunFish and got four blowups and landed three.

I haven't posted for a while so I figured I should let you know I'm still kickin'.

Murray has been a little tough the last couple of weeks. I've been averaging around 5-6 fish per day, but they've all been dinks and clones so I've mostly been foregoing pictures.

I actually saw the infamous Vinny ...

Had a fun morning at the Cap with Early release , CorsoEnthusiast , and Pourboy . I only caught 3 includingnone swimbait fish, and a couple on topwater Gunfish. Jeremy did the best of all of us, and held down the fort with around 7 I believe. He put on a Neko rig clinic.

To be fair though we weren ...

Happy Thanksgiving

I saw you rolling up as I was heading out. I got four on Monday and missed at least that many. Yesterday, I threw a finesse crank a la Dan for a couple hours. Nada. I had to go with the drop shot robo worm to avoid the skunk. Ended with two. Everything has been small. Still both days were beautiful ...

OK, I'll ask ... How did you take that pic of the truck and boat?

I have not posted anything in a longish time due to getting a stupid job...yuck. But anyway, still veen fishing but only at the local pond since time is short. Most have been dinks and usually just a couple each trip. I did have one day before the rain where all of a sudden they decided to eat a ...

Same Picture but in some way opposite. You are lucky to have some small Bass in Murray. Canyon only has bigger Bass after its bout with Golden Algea. So my last trip, six hours on the water. Two Bass, ten minutes apart. Also my boat was heading to the Shop for serious Surgery to replace the Gas Tank.

Happy Holidays VB!!

Total of 7 in a half day of fishing. I saw a few busters, but was unable to get them to rise on my walking baits. Got a couple of jig fish, all the rest came via a small crank bait. Biggest was 2.5.

Granted it was a bit of work finding a bite, but I did mark a lot of fish deep in 30-50 feet of ...

Was so beautiful last week. TopWas slow overall but the third cast got this nice one on a 7” lunker punker.

Finally got into some nicer fish at Murray. Final count was 5. All fish were over two pounds with one going 3.5 and another was 4.5. It really was a beautiful early December day.

Nice to have a day that wasn't a total dinkfest :D

Go get 'em Vinny!

Thanks for sharing.
I take all the info I get from you regulars (Lake, SD River, Colorado River, IB Valley, Etc.) and try to use it on the rare times I get out there!

Nice work Vinny hopefully we get good amount rain flush that place for the bass

Mixing it up is a good thing Vinny. Great job as usual!

I'm sure you've seen him out at Murray with his matching Disney Princess rods!

Now I just need to put a tracker on your tube and see where you are catching those nice bass at Murray.
Nothing but dinks for me and not very many my last few trips..,,,,,
Tight lines always Dan :-)


I think Dan is on to something with ...

Picked up 9 total at the Murr yesterday. It was great seeing Dfishin out there too!

I got on the water at around 8'30 and was off by noon. The day started with busters on the top. I picked up 4 on a small Gunfish. After surface action slowed I switched to a Griffon MR-X, and picked up 3 more. I ...

Update:
Turns out the Fat as Salamander Nightcrawlers went unused. I got to cherry pick 2 dozen Nightcrawlers out of the Bait Delivery Truck, for the price of a Starbucks Latte. I had them on Ice in a soft pack. They had a nice Float Tube Ride for nothing. I finally fixed my Bottom Line 2255 Fish ...
