Very nice Dan topwater blast today

Thanks for the report and sounds like a good day. I want to hit up El Cap, but I have a couple thinks I want to do to my tube first.

El Cap is going to get fired up with all the pressure off that lake.
I need to get out there.
Just remember be SAFE out there, less pressure means less help if needed.

Hey Dan that was a super fun time on the lake. You definitely outfished us on that day but it was still a blast. I'll put a link to the video when it comes out. Cheers!

So
Boats are not allowed at El Cap?
Water level too low or???

First I'm replacing my 30# with a 45# thrust motor, a little deck work and oar placement. I purchased just the motor, a lot cheaper then a whole TM even used. I want to make sure I can buck the wind. The deck has a little space that seems to suck items off the ...

Got there at sunrise and not many boats. Got some info to go back to any of the big coves. Went into harvey arm about 3/4 of the way back, I found them. They were not busting, they would not hit anything and not really follow the baits. Funny thing boats started coming in and at 8:30 bam. Busting ...

I have had 4 or 5 in bass hit a Sammy 100 before. Goes to show the power in instinct.

Fun day for sure! I will have to go cartop it soon.

Great report I as well clones there when I’ve gone I used a new creature bait worked pretty good it goes on jig great it’s called bodega by 6th sense

Overdue post.
Took my boy, who has now outgrown me, on our annual Sierras trip. Instead of the usual Tuttle Creek/Mt. Whitney camp out, decided to head farther north to Big Pine and Lower Sageflat campground to be in the trees, and it did not disappoint. Weather could not have been more perfect ...

I haven't been for 6 months but trout year round up there. I've caught big ones in the middle of summer

Camped there last month. There were plenty of trout most small. Small cast master and drop shot.
