Nice to see a Moose post !

I really wanted to do D.K. on it's final friday, but I got brainwashed by Mr. Vinny and ended up at Murray, my old stompin grounds. When Vinny tells you to do something..do it! He promised me fish on top..and he delivered...I just had to be patient for 3 hours first! I got to the lake at 6:30, and ...

Deb and I were eating breakfast this morning and she said that I seem distracted as I kept looking at my phone. I told her that you texted me a couple times and not one fish has jumped. I guess it was making me nervous after telling you about the great bite the day before. I then looked at my watch ...

Way to pull them up out of the depths!

Ok...I need to cool it for a week or two with my Murray fish reports.
I have done a bunch of Lake Murray reports recently and they are all starting to sound the same and repetitious even to me. And if they seem that way to me, they surely have become boring to others.
The report: the bite has been ...

Went with a friend to help set up my weight balance on my boat and we fished a quick session the same place I ran into the busters on prior trip. Its a wonder that I have stuck with fishing as part of my life as long as I have because of how fickle fishing and lakes can be. We picked up 3 small fish ...

Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.

There are a lot of studies that cover this topic. I still fizz because it makes me feel better. Lowering them back down with a weight is the better method.

Defiantly need to treat these animals with more respect than that!

Thanks for the post!

I guess that’s my main pet peeve here. We use these fish for recreation and, in this case, the pursuit of money. The least we can do is treat them as well as we possibly can. Basically, respect the resource!

I think all of us that enjoy bass fishing, hope to pass it along to our children. This was ...

Key word WASTE

It is always a shock to hit a lake with lots of anticipation and the action is not even close to the last time you were there
like you mentioning the wolfpack chewing baitfish on your last trip. The same thing happened to me at Miramar the other
week where there was only a hand full of busters and ...

Good job out there! Keep the reports coming!

Guarantee it would!

Double fluke rig is awesome. Nail weighting the far fluke can help if you want to get it down.

Nice! Temu has some great lures too.

Fish are supposed to take line, when we hook them. Thsts what makes it fun

Whoa! Such a longfellow. Agree 5+ is another level. Congrats!

Love it! Bfs fishing is so fun. I mostly throw bfs gear in the bay myself but this looks like a really fun way to target the busters. Might just have to hit up one of the city lakes soon!

Very nice! Bet that was a big surprise!
I imagine you are always having fun when you are catching bass even clones around 2 lbs or even smaller
each trip because of the excitement of the water exploding on those small topwater baits. And then
a real blast when out of the blue a healthy bass beats ...

With how long that fish looks and the size of its fins…it’s definitely waiting for a trout stock to add another 3lbs or so…

That's a great fish on any gear, that you got it on your BFS setup makes it even better. I really enjoy the BFS stuff too. I know big lures usually means big fish, but sometimes the big ones just want an in-between meal snack, I think.
