No matter how hot, cold or wet it is,
you are out there catching bass. Always
a plus landing a few fat ones too.
Thanks for sharing and hope the New Year
Is a good one for you with lots and lots
of tight lines and healthy bass.

Awesome!!

Awesome fish report and beautiful photos.

My last day of fishing (12/31/2023) was awesome. Landed 10 huge Bluegills in a couple of hours. I was pulling a 2" sinking twitchbait and for a while getting bit on every cast!

Did some BFS fishing at Otay this morning.  Caught 3 bass on a Mini Brushhog, and 3 large bluegill on a 2" jerkbait.  Fun mornin!

I've been absolutely killing it at Murray. Fishing my BFS setup with a 1/16 oz Keitech Mono Spin jig paired with a Z-Man 2.5 inch TRD Crawz. Both in green pumpkin. I must have caught 20 keeper sized bass in my last 2 trips.

On for this 10lb. Yo-Zuri braid to a 10 lb. flouro leader. On my ultralight I run 6lb PE nanobraid to a 4lb. flouro leader.

Nice job! You’re doing better than anyone I’ve talked to there in the last few weeks. Skunks and one fish or two fish is the best I’ve heard. Guessing small baits is the key to success. Thanks for sharing and tight lines. :-)


Honestly, I think that's it. That's all that has been working for me ...

Most are hanging at around 12-15 feet right off of dropoffs into deeper water. Just bouncing the jig over and off the ledge.

And I know you're been catching some. You were landing one just as I ...

It's still a far cry from having big bass boats zooming around at high speed.

Big fish hunting is a totally different mind set. You have to be willing to go out and not get bites, or maybe only one or two bites in a day. For me, I just have fun catching fish, big or small. I just enjoy figuring out the bite and setting the hook into a fish.

It takes a certain type of ...

Got another 4 today. So much fun on light gear.

Had an awesome day at Murray today. I got 5 and my best mate Randy got 2 (his first fish from a float tube) All of them were quality bass! We had a great day.

You too! Hope to see you out there soon.

Had an excellent day on the water at Murray today. Caught 13 bass in 4 hours with nary a dink in the bunch! These are the days that make up for the ones you gotta grind to get a bite haha!

Awesome and congrats to your brother!

I am heading there Sunday. Hopefully i I'll find a pattern in my float tube that I can share.

Has anyone fished upper Otay in the recent past? I fished lower Otay a couple weeks f weeks ago and decided to hike up there afterward. I'd never been up there before. It looks like it should hold fish albeit not very accessible. Inquiring minds is all.
