The tail whip on that long’un would peel off line like a yellowtail!

Great job out there man! I did order some of those after your last post. Still waiting to get them. Light line is the best!

Been a minute since I had anything worth sharing. I’ve been hitting El Cap for the last few weeks and been killing the 6-10” bass! Shallow, 10-15ft, breaking fish, didn’t matter, almost everything I caught was still in diapers.

Two weeks ago I noticed that in the front of the lake the fish were ...

I may as well repost Vinny’s from last week. Started the day catching a couple on drop shot in the fog. As soon as the fog lifted, I switched to fluke and it was on. Unlike Vinny, I stayed near the tules. Ended with 14. I missed at least that many (didn’t have the right fluke hooks with me). Most ...

Wow, that sounds like a really fun time!!!
It’s amazing how those bass just attack those
Flukes and even the ones that you miss, it still makes it really exciting. The bass can probably corner the shad better going in and out of the tulles and here I keep staying out in the middle of the lake ha ha ...

I’ll nail weight a single fluke most of the time unless I want it on the surface/ripping it or if it’s a magnum fluke. It will dart a lot further with the weight.

The dinks at Murray are boiling and on the chew. This was the average size I was catching this morning


Yeah, got 25 that size there on Fri., in a half days work. Some 1 pounders but a couple even smaller. Blind casting a small popper, the Bevy by Lucky Craft, thanks to Dannicus giving me one at ...

I gave you guys a nice 14 day vacation from me posting reports from Lake Murray, but sorry, it's time to post again. I will try to keep it brief(ha ha... Mcfish knows that is not going to happen).
Hit Murray late morning and pulled in a small bass on a reaction bait waiting for any surface action ...

At around 7am, I decided to get another day of fishing in before the weekend.
It was great running into and chatting with fellow SDFish member Spektrum at the
boat ramp getting his tube ready for action. This morning I wanted to start off
with something different instead of fishing my usual pattern ...

After hearing rave reviews about the topwater bite yesterday, I had high expectations for epic topwater today.. but today turned out very different! I woke up to clear skies, a full moon, and the back side of a cold front...should of been here yesterday was what I was thinking! It became obvious ...

After some debate I headed to San V on Friday for the first time since Easter. I was shocked to see how far the water has come down since then. The waterfall in the back of Barona is high and dry by 30ft!

Immediately saw bass crashing the shad against the banks so I had high hopes for some top ...

Never get tired of ANY reports, especially ones with pictures!! Keep them coming!

Hi Dan,

The struggle is real. I too go through a horrible withdrawal at the end of September when they close Barrett for the season. I am told there are other bodies of water that hold the very same fish as Barrett, just with a different level of cooperation. Through the support of friends, I have ...

So sorry to hear of what you have been going through. Sometimes things in life at times just knock you down and it seems so hard
to get back up on your feet. It's not going to be easy and it is not fun by any means. I know you have that motivation in you just
like you do when you are out there ...

Fishermen can be a bit of a cerebral lot.

Strange days indeed
Most peculiar, mama

John Winston Lennon most peculiar dude

Great job out there man! I can't wait to see you on the water again sometime soon. Cheers!

Ain’t nothing wrong with jig fish. Nothing beats that pure contact hook set. Not sure what it’s like on a bfs…

Sweet!
Jig fish many times are healthier bass.
Good job
