Does anyone know if the water level at Otay is going down at all? El Cap has gone down… of course recently Murray’s water level has gone down. I’m just curious as the warmer months come if the water level goes down, maybe they’ll be better fishing and less places for the bass to spread out and ...

Stout fish, Vinny!

Very chubby.....the fish of course! Good job buddy! .....S.D. river, have you had your hepatitis shot....?? I'll try to ignore that yellow tint to your skin..I'm sure the water is fine..

I just remembered...that's my Whopper Plopper...yeah...that's it!

Tokyo paid off again....

Hello folks! I know fishing is a sport of secret sauces and combos - but for those who are newer (myself included) and who want to branch out from the dark/muddy, clear/bright stereotypes of plastics. What colors / shapes / brands are we using in what time of the year / conditions?

For me the last ...

You can never go wrong with a t-rigged 6-10” chocolate blue vein

I'm throwing roboworms in Oxblood red flake, Aaron's magic and bitchin craw. Senkos are baby bass, green pumpkin and natural shad. All my jig trailers are the same versions of something green/brown from whatever came in a mystery tackle box.

A really good fisherman told me that he tries to match the color of the lake bottom.

Thanks Vinny! Wish I had a video of the squatch but he was too fast.

Any good bass fisherman should always have that color worm in his arsenal as you ...

I remember back when guys would swear the fish were so dialed in they’d say “they’re only eating choc/blue vein with red flake. Regular chocolate blue won’t get bit”. I loved tight line worms. When I first started shore pounding as a kid, it was The Worm Store hand pours and Magic Worms

My favorite worm for the last 15 years, Robo's Christmas/Purple/Wienie! Between that and the MMs, I can normally get on some kind of pattern. I use to only throw C/P/W at the clear lakes, but it has also worked for me at El Cap and Sutherland. Vinny insists they've discontinued the color..but I ...

I'm thinking Vinny's garage has way more worms than the Worm Store ever had! Please do not look in my garage!

Tried my luck today for some wipers. Ended up catching 3 in a couple of hours of fishing. I had a night crawler on at the beginning that got smashed, thought it was huge catfish but ended up being a 30 inch carp. Ended up catching a lot more carp on the night crawler, but didn't catch any on the ...

Holy Moly, The Worm Store!! I loved that place! I would have almost forgotten, thanks for bring up some fond old memories=)

Sorry guys, I made this post last week in the wrong section. Anyways, I decided to throw it up again and say hello. Nice to know that this site exists as I was bummed when SDFish.com went away as it was a great tool for information and to connect with other anglers. ( I was Rescue ranger 905). Now ...
