That’s some nice angling out there. Much better than my meager total of three.

I followed your lead and nailed this one plus 6 Clones on a 1/16 oz. Jighead and 4 inch Sluggo. 7 pounds 12 oz. Took me around the boat twice, jumped 4 hair raising times and had two drag screaming runs on six pound test.

Solid bass Bendopolo!!

They are just keyed in on jigs and small baits. Nice fish!

Well left my house late Sunday morning and took my kayak down to Otay. Didn't arrive till 8:45, but did not matter much as
I mostly wanted to just get my PA 12 back in the water again. I have not taken it out since late November. Anyway....it was
an easy launch as I parked right next to the water. I ...

I can’t buy a bite on that damn Tokyo Rig! Glad to see someone knows how to fish it!!

Thanks Vinny.I was wondering about Otay. Almost never see reports from there recently.

Glad you got some.

I was kind of overwhelmed by the water level at Otay when I got there. There is so much new cover to fish
and I was not planning to be there long so decided to just head down a little ...

Looks pretty good to me. You’ll probably get a six pounder next time.

I was lucky as heck in a 5 year span or so where I caught at least 2 bass that were in the 6lb range each year and some
of those years even a few more(thanks to the Tokyo rig mostly)....up until until last year. Since I fish ...

Always fun seeing and chatting with you brother! I caught some kind of nasty cold bug, (not covid) so many was sidelined over the weekend and probably for the next few days. This thing has been kicking my butt! All of you please keep posting, I am gonna have to settle with living vicariously for a ...

Ok Boys. I honestly don’t know if I have the words to describe the day I had today.

This was a day that will likely live with me forever! I can honestly say that I have never experienced a day like I had today, and that includes fishing Barrett years ago when it first opened back up!

I don’t ...

Been out at my favorite local body of water a lot lately as things have been pretty fun there. 3 trips over the past week and all of them produced fish, mostly of the 2lb+ variety but nothing bigger than 3 and change.

Pattern has been a little different every day. Saturday morning was all power ...

Nice job out there again.
You definitely have that lake pretty
darn wired and looks like you are having
lots of fun. Thanks for sharing your
adventures and always love the pics.
Tight lines :-)


Thanks Vinny! Get to learn the lake all over again from a float tube now!

Made it out early to Hodges on Sunday morning, which was no small effort, since I was celebrating a friend's birthday the night before. Got on the water and it was 60.5 F and there was that really cool fog over the lake so you couldn't really see very far. It was a very nice day on the water. I got ...

I wanted to fish this morning and even with the threat of severe thundershowers, I figured a few hours is better than nothing,
Loaded my kayak on the truck and didn't bring much tackle but had rain pants and jacket packed just in case. When I got to
the San Diego river is was clam and actually ...

That's a nice bag of fish. On the BFS stuff, you may get quite a surprise, apparently there are some monster bass in the waters of Murray. There's a post on a double digit bass caught there recently. Wouldn't that be a great time on the light gear?

Buzz bait bass #shorts #pescadelobina #bassfishing

As Vinny can attest I fish Murray from my float tube an average of 4 days per week. I regularly pull in good numbers of bass, with the occasional scattered 6 pounder plus. The numbers of fishermen on the lake varies from negligible to quite a few on weekends. Lots of shore guys showing up recently ...

Nice report and great results. congrats.

ps I'm in the same boat concerning A rigs, never thrown them, no interest in starting either.

But they are so fun and effective.

Here ya go, ultra light haha
