Oh man! Best wishes on a speedy recovery. I hate the green goop. At least you got a few.

Another epic morning at O'Neill...one on the plopper that was soooo fat I almost couldn't believe it.

Haven't posted anything since my 7.25lb bass few weeks ago at Murray(Didn't want to bore you guys as just landing mostly dinks anyway), but here is just a quick post from the SD River.
Got just 3 bites this morning on a quick session at the river and landed 2 bass.
Not big by any means but still ...

Both days brought my dad saw Chris beefshamen at ramp on sun headed to middle started w cranks and sashimmy swimmer no taker one blow up on swimmer made it back of lake where they started to boil so switched to 5” fish roller hovering got a small one tried to chase boils in kayak to slow wasted a ...

Wasn't going to post anything as it was pretty darn slow this morning, but Mcfish asked
me if the bass were still jumping? The answer is NO, as I did not see a single fish jump.
Worked the usual baits and was only able to pick up 5 small bass on plastic worms. The highlight on the day was chatting ...

Thank for sharing! Great weather in East County today=D

Was at Hodges on Wednesday and was complaining how tough its been to another guy who also barely got the skunk off. He tells me I need to try El Cap. Been saying I was gonna do it for a while, and with Hodges closing for the season the time seems right. Gonna head down Monday or Tuesday. Anxious to ...

Like Dan said, great day to be on the water.

It was nice unloading the tube and launching without all those damn green bugs pestering you.

Planned on heading towards the back of the lake, but hit a couple points on the way. No luck on the buzz, so switched to the Karashi and got a 3 pounder first ...

Hey all!

I did make it out on the last weekend at Hodges for the season. I was surprised to see a good number of people at the gate at opening. I had heard that it was slow lately but had to get out one more time. I got my first bite within 5 minutes of fishing on a ...

Best one in a while...and it was an adventure.

Bit of a long story, but I have to share.

So hooked this girl on the far side of the small opening and the fight was on...she even jumped a couple times and then...she got tangled in a patch of tulles and was completely stuck. What to do? Tried all ...

Had a couple nice days lately at El Cap. Air in the early morning is cool/cold, but the water temp is still upper 60s F. Poked around along the shore and picked up a few nice fish with the usual suspects for me, a popper, a floating Rapala and a little swim jig I have been playing with. Wind hasn't ...

That's a nice fish, way to go. It is a beautiful place to visit.

Change in plans Dan, we are going to El Cap tomorrow.
