Doing much better than me. I all I've been getting are 2 pounds or less. Lots of them, but still .


On Tuesday and Friday probably 98% of my bass caught were 2 lbs or less, so you are not alone.


It seems they are shrinking everywhere, or maybe the big boys and girls just aren’t interested ...

They sure like those smaller topwater baits. I have recently bought a few and I think they are closer to the hatch of what size the shad are and what the bass are eating. Thanks for sharing and nice to have you back here at home catching bass here.
Tight lines always.

You guys have certainly mastered that lake. It's been a pleasure watching you work it when I've had the opportunity to come out when you are there.

I learned many years ago, when you think you've figured out a lake and the patterns....it bites you in the booty! You've figured out your share of ...

Hey Dannicus,
I thought that was you in the tackle shop early morning. I was in line with my son behind you. Glad to hear you had a productive day. We got one each on wackies. I was throwing a tiny popper on my dark wolf setup. Only had one strike it but missed. Would have been nice.

Nice tube ...

Nice slab slayer!

That is a heck of a slab!

Those gills must be feeding on all those snail eggs on the tulles.....pigs!

That’s a memory maker, for sure.

Had a great day at Miramar yesterday. My buddy and I ended up with 30 fish total with a 4 and a 3.15# which we were pretty happy about. We lost 3 more that jumped at least once and were in that weight class. Also had a double hook-up which is always awesome! I can't remember a time when these fish ...

Another after work, quick stop at my favorite Orange County bass hole. Got there and it was super smokey, but the ranger who took my $3 didn't seem concerned so off i went. Picked up a little guy who fell in the dirt...

I apologized and let him go. Then tossed a weightless T ...

What a pig! I forgot about the snails =D Makes sense!

Haven't been up to Miramar since the middle of June and had a fun time that day so decided to take my kayak back up there and see what's happening. Kind of bummed as was no surface action except for an occasional splash out in the distance. So after a number or useless casts with topwater baits, I ...

It seems that the bass that are jumping at Murray are mainly focusing on eating shad 99.9% of the time and not many artificial offerings. Even throwing into busting bass, they are still focused on the live shad so it does feel good to fool at least some of them finicky little guys with a hard bait ...

Haven't fished the SD river since June 23 and figured I would do a quick morning session and take off before it gets too hot.
So much for early start as I finally got there around 7:15. In my past reports you will see that I do not get a lot of bites
down there. So when I miss a bite or a bass ...

Took the tube out at Miramar from about 9-11:30. Landed a couple Dinks on the drop shot roboworm and lost a nice one on the buzz bait. Fun little morning. Sorry for the lack of photos.

Nice! No busters?
