You'll love it.

Awesome as always Vinny! You just know how to fish.

Excellent!

Man I love me some topwater action. Great job and thanks for the report.

Freaking awesome!!!!!!

I love throwing BFS crankbaits because they catch everything. Last week at Murray I caught a mess of clone bass and some slab Bluegill casting around small crankbaits.

Awesome! I will be there the end of the month. Can't wait!

As always Vinny is on the fish. Excellent!

Not to worry, topwater season is approaching in earnest soon. I feel it in my old bones lol

Had a fun day at Murray. Managed 14 bass. Granted the majority were in the 2 pound class but never the less, lots of activity, and great fights on my light gear! I'll post the bait that got most of the love today in the BFS section.

Nearly all 14 fish today came courtesy of this Sixth Sense bluegill colored crankbait. They call it the pressure series and it is the deep diving model. It's been working well in all the lakes I fish and I can easily throw it on my light rods. They really hammer it.

I like to troll it in front of ...

It dives 7 to 10 feet. There is a lot of elephant snot on the bottom of Murray right now, so I generally use my fish finder to position myself over 7-10 feet and slow roll it on a straight retrieve Just off the bottom. I can feel it vibrate easily on my BFS rods and it seems to soul pretty easily if ...

Great job Robert! I need to get back to El Cap next week.

You too Vinny! I rarely fish Fridays but my kid had testing sooo...
I caught a couple of topwater and crankbait fish early but mostly focused on the edges of the tules. All in the 2 pound range. I lost count but it was over a dozen or so. I'm looking forward to some bigger fish making themselves ...

As we spoke about out on the water at El Cap brother, I briefly considered adding it to my float tube. Briefly being the key word in that sentence. I have no problem with guys using it, but like you, I've watched them spend hours staring at their screens. Speaking for myself, that's the polar ...

After 2 weeks of catching mostly dinks and one pounders, I finally got onto a bite today with better quality fish. 9 total fish all two plus pounds with the best going three and a half.

All in all a pretty fun morning.

One of my dearest friends Timmy (in Oregon) has been following the potential lake closures in California, and I thought I'd share a meme he created thinking of me.

Had a 20 fish day or so Otay. Of course half of them were probably a pound each, but still fun. Caught 3 early on topwater walking baits, then a few on a small crankbait (including a slab Bluegill). Switched to a jig and caught a few more, then went on a tear with over 10 falling prey to a jerkbait ...
