You mentioned that the amount of Bass you catch doesn’t correlate with the number of times you fish. My Dad told me the best thing about fishing is practice practice practice. How many perfect casts result in catching a Bass. Not every one, but a lot. I watch my buddies not casting to areas I ...

He's Back =D Congratulations on the first SMB! Now you know how much harder they fight pound for pound. Keep live it up my man!


It really did fight harder lol. I've been hoping for a striper too, but to be honest, I have no idea how to fish for them so .... But who knows right? Maybe a ...

Spent a lot of time throwing onto bass swirling around the surface feeding almost exclusively on small shad. Still exciting but then you start seeing that 90% of them are very small 8-12" bass. Every once in a while maybe a 2lb bass would jump but even then that was rare, but that is what keeps you ...

Great job VB! We are always learning, right?

I fished yesterday for 7, all small. First time on that lake in about 5+ years. I watched a boat dropping brush weighted tree limbs on one of the points. Don’t know who is doing it but I don’t think it will improve the fishing

OMG!!!
Success? That is an understatement!!!
Looks like you had an amazing last day of fishing while on vacation that you’ll remember for years and years. Those are some beasts!
Congratulations and look forward to your return back here to San Diego. Thank you so much for sharing and tight lines ...

Pig fest!

You might consider wearing a light colored shirt, thin sun gloves and a wider brimmed hat. Dip hat and sleeves in the water, drape a wet towel around the neck and splash water on your thighs. Roll waders down if you are wearing them. At Barrett, those things keep me comfortable to at least 100 ...

By sneak I mean that most people have to work on Wednesdays...Got to Hodges, bought a ticket and drove over to the other side (which is the only side for me I guess) but half way there I remembered leaving my sunglasses on top of the ticket machine (oops) so I drove back and by some miracle they ...
