I’ll start off showing some fish I caught couple days ago so you guys can remember me by.

Took the whaler out for a spin around the lake and found a very steady bite Stopped counting around 15 fished for 2 1/2 -3 hours. Nothing special just old school worming

It took San V an extra month to get going, but it's on now! What a difference 2 weeks makes...got there at sunrise 2 weeks ago, 6 boats..today at sunrise, more like 30! First cast, lost a 6lber in a bush..bad omen, nope! I got into a solid pattern and didn't move more than 100' for the next 5 hours ...

Now that's the mcfish report we all know and love. Now that's a funny meme from the vinman!

And you still didn’t throw the hudd?! Oh Vinny Vinny Vinny

Sounds like it might not take 30min with your report.
You could always cast it, then sit on your rod but and dead stick it. Ive caught two at Murray doing that while throwing a glide bait in my hobie.

Great post vinnie bass I guess I gotta go to Miramar today an
d check it out. I hope I can get half as many as you do. Great information about the lake thank you.

Why only boys and girls???

That's all there is! I'm old school!!!

Congrats on becoming a pro angler!

Thanks for the report @mcfish. Open to sharing what pattern you found that worked so well?


I tried also.....
and he charged me $20 to let me know he was using 8lb test on one of his rods.
Then another $20 regarding baits to let me know that he has a favorite color Roboworm but only told me ...

It was an accident..... Vinny is, so I wanted to be one....lol! Maybe the (other guy) can be one also.....

Hey @mcfish....let me know if you are planning to come down to Miramar and fish because it may be randomly closed that day
so I can let you know not to waste your time and all that gas to get there......ha ha.
I always like to be helpful.......to such a good friend. ;)

Miramar is always a good ...

Good to see you out there on Monday. Even fishing near you I hooked up on a drop shot, but she came off, in fact all 5 bites I had yesterday came off the hook. Gonna have to change hooks. Great job out there actually boating 23 bass! I'll be back next Monday. Maybe I can tie a line to your boat ...

Sound pretty good to me. Nice rig ya got.

Great report, like your sense of humor. Glad things really picked up for you, epic. Buzzbaits are your friend.

Made a quick trip down to El Cap yesterday after work - arrived about 3:30pm to howling wind and whitecaps that made casting a challenge. Water level is down several feet from my last visit and the dried out slime from all the moss is covering the first few feet of bank.

I went the whole session ...

Memories fishing are priceless,
Stay after them , things change fast. Next trip its winner winner chicken dinner.
Vinny , always finds the positive of a trip, we always keep learning.
I like the taco theme .

Tight lines

I said last week that it seemed the bite at Sutherland was stirring. That judgment was premature! The bite, it seems, is again cold as ice. At least it appears that way to me and a couple of friends who will remain nameless unless they choose to chime in. Between us we caught 4 fish. Overcast early ...

When o when will that lake turn back on. Glad to know the shad were spawning, sounds like a spinnerbait will start to work again early in the morning. At least you caught something, no fun getting skunked. I went twice last month and only got two bites, one of which was in the parking lot.

Ok, I'll chime in! Every week I think it's going to happen...and it doesn't! The lake is actually still coming up even though they say they're still taking out 25mgd!!! The lake looks so good and everywhere you think there has to be fish..they're not there! I fished deep, shallow, flipped brush ...
