Nope. I caught 11 but I was out there 3 hours longer than those guys Michael. Now go back to your 6 pounder topwater fiesta and laugh at all us poor dink pirates lol.


Missed you on Wednesday! Not a dink fest, but no ...

Great meeting you out there too Dan! That was a great conversation we had going. Thanks for showing me you BFS setups and gear. I definitely need to put one in the arsenal. Not a big fan of spinning reels, just use them out of necessity. Your float tube is a total Cadillac, and that Bixby-board ...

Nice work! Too bad I missed you. Would have been nice to meet some more good people from the site. I saw some guys throwing topwater in the back with no success. Could be a bit early for the good TW action, unless your name rhymes with OtayMichael =D

Was a fun little morning sesh! Ended up with 4 fish for the morning with the best in the 3+ pound class.


I tried double willow leaf spinner for a good hour after we quit throwing cranks, with some good accurate cast on some good looking rock piles and points. Nothing, nada. Maybe I should pick ...

Chilly? Downright cold!

Had to get the gettin while the gettin is good, so we headed out there again today.

Overcast sky and veritable winds, that were very lite for El Cap. Mid 60s water temps.

Went right back to the scene of last weeks crime. The shad spawn was still on. They are thick, you can walk across the ...

Well, I did go over some hills and the lake is far away as compared to how close Murray is to me. Anyway, headed up to Donald and
Kiefer's lake where McFish and Fisheromen were already out on the water. I quickly headed over to work an area where McFish was
and it seemed within no time he had a ...

Nice job as usual. No top water?

Hey Vinnie great job 15 fish is a great day to me.
I was looking at your pictures and noticed your worm and could you share how it’s tied on it looks like a clip of some sort?


McFish tells me to never give away secrets, but will never probably ever see this.....
It is a Roboworm. The color is ...

Sounds pretty darn good to me. Fun just reading the exploits of you and mcfish.

You know we both truly miss the exploits from those two guys from the old site, but glad you get a kick out of the on-going battle between me and @Mcfish .

Awesome! One of these days I'm gonna bribe one of you boat guys to haul me and my tube to that end of the lake! Even with the Bixpy it takes quit a while to get there and if the wind picks up, getting back before the lake closes becomes a legitimate concern lol.

I took really enjoyed our chat and ...

McFish is a relic today... turned Seven Ohhhh!

Wow 70!
Some of his rods and reels are relics, but I have to hand it to him because he still catches tons of bass.

Decided to visit Otay this morning. Got on the water about 615, immediately worked my way to the tules and began flipping the edges with no sinker rig plastics and quickly broke the skunk. Got another one just a couple of casts later as the rain started to come down. I fished that spot for 25 more ...

Your float tub is going to need bottom paint.... It's always in the water =D
Thanks for sharing. Love the gunfish.

Nice work Dan

Grabbed some gear and tossed it in my kayak and headed away from Murray and up to Lake Miramar this morning.
Not a real early start as I was on the water just before 7 and saw only one other angler fishing in a float tube. The water was glassy and nothing broke on the surface so I went to my usual ...

Misty overcast morning which was perfect for top water action. Went across the dock and got one on the popper second cast. Worked along the way to Harvey and got a few more, blow up on a frog but missed.
Looked like there was a tournament because there were 20 boats down Harvey! Found a flat area ...
