Man, it was a party!!

You didn't get a picture of our covered wagon??? Parked it next to the chuckwagon ...

Yep, a clone kind of day!

Yeah, this morning there was a lot of clones on the chew.

I don't remember being warned when growing up that when you get into your 60s and 70s, you lose many of your friends and loved ones! I had convinced myself that my parents, relatives, and friends would always be there...and then my Mother passed away and reality hit me! Then having friends my age ...

Just wondering...since I am a shore pounder by nature...is it worth going to this "lake of D&K" for me?

On a Clone Day. I always try a little bigger, a little deeper, a little farther into the trees. The Big Big Gals are there, they aren’t always with the smaller Males. Sometimes it takes an expedition to find them. Sometimes you do, sometimes your buddies catch 14 Bass and you don’t. I love the way ...

Just a short trip over to Murray this morning and landed a handful of clones on reaction baits and plastics. Not much of anything
was breaking the surface, but I was happy to land a topwater bass on a popper. The bass were all pretty small but did get one
just over 3lbs on a creature bait.
Better ...

I love those yamamomo creature baits. That was a healthy one!


They are pretty deadly with lots of action. I used to toss them a lot in the past and somehow with so many baits that seem to
take over through the years, I forgot all about them. I have so many craw and creature type baits, but need ...

A funny thing happened on the way to Murray with my kayak this morning. As I got to the bottom of the hill instead of going
straight over the freeway and up to the lake, I made a right and got onto 8 East and headed to El Cap. Never a rush to get to
Murray I finally arrived at El Cap a little ...

It's been about a month since I fished the SD River. A buddy who fishes the river often told me last night that he has caught only
one bass after 3 trips and his buddy got skunked yesterday. I figured what the heck.. and so for a change of pace I decided to fish
it for a few hours this morning ...

Just checking if I still can catch some bass. Caught 3 and missed a couple on the jump. One of the 18” bass gonna serve as someone else meal since the hook is too deep. The weed and algae is everywhere, small bluegill hangout shallow in morning. Saw a few bass chasing bluegill along shoreline.

I started the day with a couple small fluke fish, then went a couple hours with nada! I threw alot of different baits in the next couple hours, only coming up with a couple more clones. Every time I thought I was putting together a pattern..I was wrong! At noon, I made a move to one of my favorite ...

Results is always the key and that little bait already proved and paid for itself with the bass action you got. You have really been having a lot of fun out there with that light tackle and the bass like it too!
Tight lines always

Hmmm…I have a bluegill color squarebill that might just have to get busy in the am. Thanks for the report!

I’m out

Is that silent or have rattles?

How many have found baits along the bank in trees in the weeds or wherever when fishing and went on to fish them???
I mostly fish Hodges and it has more fishing line,hooks,baits,hard and soft,trash and used fishing gear than any lake I've been to!!!!
I'm always pulling braid and mono line out of my ...

Arrived at Otay just as they opened the gate, and launched my tube from North Point. No sooner had I kicked out than the bass started busting all around me.

Caught my first 5 on a topwater walking bait. Then switched over to my little deep diving crankbait. Caught 11 more bass and 8 really large ...

Gotta love the BFS stuff. I'm adding that little crank to my next order.
