Headed over to Murray and joined by my buddy Joe for a little morning session. The bass are there, but up and down so fast off the surface that it has been very challenging. Actually it is frustrating especially when you land you bait right next to or on top where a bass just jumped and no takers ...

Definitely waders at most times or float tube. . Especially south end.You can fish on the south side of the buoy line, it’s just there for the rental boats. That lake is a shallow bath tub. Lucky if you get 12-14’ at the deepest. The south end is super shallow, smooth bottom with a few random stump ...

The lake will say no wading. Used to wade Morena in the stickups when it was up more. Pretty stealth way to fish.

I'll take the blame..but i plead insanity..


There are plenty of Behavioral Health agencies in San Diego County. If you need help finding one, let me know. :-)


Because Vinny is intimately acquainted with them all.


No...actually because I know how to look things up and find all types of ...

Hey all,
I haven't gotten to post (or fish) in a while. I did have the opportunity to head out for just a few hours on Saturday to Lake Miramar. It was a nice mental therapy session just to decompress. The bonus was that I caught fish! I just wanted to take it back old ...

dang....good fishing trip

I saw you out there I was fishing from shore right of the boat dock

Not sure where I wanted to go this morning so I loaded up my kayak and made a quick decision to head up to Lake Miramar. With a little fog over the water I searched for something on top, but still not really happening yet other than a few that rippled the surface in about an hour of looking. So I ...

Top water frog cap is going off go went Tues and sun anywhere there’s grass early I got dozen both days biggest going 3.25 mostly 2lb clones but fun I used horny toad and bayou bullfrog on grass gunfish 75 caught as well

Nice Dan great job otay can b tough that grass I did not catch last wed on it there w frog or pop r

Closed Aug. 4th and 5th. And the 19th and 20th. They said that might finalize closers for algae treatments for the year. Got a few nice models on top water today. Follow up bait of choice was a Senko, which worked fine. Folks throwing smaller plastics recording high numbers.

Those were some nice fish you’ve got today Dan. I bet it was exciting as heck to have bass blowup on a frog through those grass mats. Also, that was a giant bluegill. Thanks for sharing and tight lines always buddy.

Another great day for you, that Bluegill is something congratulations.

Fun froggy morning at Otay. Only 5 bass, but all over 3 lbs with the best going 3.76. also managed a few beefy bluegill trolling crank baits when changing froggin spots.

I'm impressed with the quality of the new Paramount waders. They seem really well made. Time will tell how many trips I make ...

Beautiful Gill. Thanks for sharing Dan=D

Decided to skip a trip to the Lake of D & K due to hot weather. Oh course I was bored after my coffee and biscotti and kept bouncing the idea that maybe I could just head down to the SD River or Murray and fish from shore for couple hours before it gets too hot. Finally I grabbed 2 rods and a ...

Last week I wasted 3 hours waiting for the busters that never showed up...not this week! I started out fishing creatures on rock piles in 8'-20' of water and found fish right off. If you didn't feel rocks or trees, you weren't getting decent fish! I ended up with only 13 fish, but the quality was ...
