Had some success in deeper water recently and especially on my last trip to Murray, so I decided to just fish deep and use reaction baits only. Despite the late start(looked like like rain this morning), I ventured out away from the shoreline even though it looked inviting. I searched for shad ...

They do really well back East with the big Spoons because the Bass are actively feeding on Gizzard Shad and Skipjack. Out here, on a diet of Threadfin Shad we rarely get them on big spoons. In the Fall when the Threadfin are at their biggest the Swim Spoon bite can go off for numbers. As for jigging ...

I just threw that bigger spoon on because I was working deep water for close to three hours and I just figured I’d try it for a while because I had nothing to lose. I really jazzed and lucky when a bass slammed it. When I got another bass on that bigger spoon, I realized that there is another ...

Excellent angling Vinny!

Good move going deep with the wind whipping. NIce fish, I need to get back out to Murray.

The brush hog and Neko rig did the trick. Cant wait to get back out there

Great job out there! Thanks for the report.

Thanks and Congratulations on your PB
for this year at Hodges. You could see in the video you were pretty jazzed.
Tight lines always

Thanks Vinny! Now it’s time to get a better one. I’m always stoked on good fish.

Hello all,

Had a nice day at Hodges this morning. Met with Pourboy in the parking lot and we headed out a little after 0600. Water temp was a toasty 67 F and wind was calm. Immediately Pourboy hooked a nice fish on a spinnerbait, I think it was one of his first couple casts. Then I got lucky too ...

Went to El Cap yesterday and caught 6, unfortunately they were all smallish clones but one thing happened that made the trip completely worthwhile.

I was out in my tube, when I found myself in a giant ball of shad. They were banging into my float tube, legs, and fins. Then, all of a sudden the ...

In heavy cover, try a small finishing nail slipped into the worm behind the hook. With a Texas rigged hook it is virtually snag free and is smooth so it goes thru the algae. Very inexpensive little trick from the 70s when I listened intently to the Bass Pros in my Dads Fishing Club, the Fullerton ...

Hey all I hope the lines are tight,
Headed out last Saturday to Lake Hodges. Met up with Early Release at the launch and immediately got fish right out of the gate. I got one on the spinner bait and immediately following that as you probably already know he got a 4 lbs. 12 oz. Beauty on a Popper. We ...

Hello all,

Got out on Hodges early with a buddy. Water temp was 66F and wind was calm. Not a lot for the report. Went along the shoreline with poppers, dragged the bottom with crankbaits and other assorted things that didn't work out. Got three for the day. One early on the popper, one mid morning ...

Half a dozen bass. That's a good day!

Tight lines.

I was the Buddy !

Those Damiki’s slay the bays too!

Vinny have you ever tried the VMC hybrid bladed treble hook?

Great job out there! I haven’t fished spoons in years! Man now you’ve got me thinking. Cheers!

Jumped on a flight to the Islands, and look what they were offering on the Alaska Airlines 737.
I guess it was meant to be!
