Hey…it started at Murray

Seriously…glad the DFW guys gave you a break. They usually don’t. Even tho I prefer the 365 day license, it does lead to forgetting the expiration easier.

Secondly, man thats a bit harrowing story fighting a tide, let alone without both fins. Glad you got back in one piece. I have had one good ...

Sounds like you got a work out.

I just pulled out some fins that I use that I can't see being sold anymore, and they are the Hot Spot fins. I think they float.

I can start my day at the grocery store and then later rob a bank and the news will only focus on the bank robbed....ha ha.

I got to Murray this morning forgetting it was the second Tuesday of the month and it was closed, so I pivoted and went to Mission Bay instead.

I launched from Dana Landing at around 8:30 and the tide was high. I landed a couple of small spotties among the anchored boats, when Fish and Game ...

Hey all,
I headed back to Hodges today for a quick morning sesh before work. I got there at 5:30am just like last week but instead of having 25 cars in front of me when I got there I only had 3 today. I know the slow first week and the rain kept people away. But I gots to know! You may or may not ...

You live to fish another day. Wiser, graduating from the school of hard knocks. It's nice to get a break sometime.

Hey that old adage still holds true; the worst day of fishing is better than the best day working.

Horrible situation, but I bet the catfish were in that ...

After a good year of re-learning the game after about 20 years out, I decided to take the spotty skills I’ve built up to a small local lake before (and during) the storm this week. With almost no largemouth experience as a kid, I was hoping the time I’ve spent consuming YouTube, SDFish and other ...

Well I have to say, I am disappointed in my start at Hodges...but this is most likely due to the super inflated expectations I had built up over the long closure. But here goes...two days last Saturday 2-8 and today Sunday 2-16 for a total of 2 fish, but I will get to that in a second. First of all ...

Feels like spring is on the horizon.. I spent both days this weekend at El Cap. Chatted with Early release on Friday and he mentioned that he and Pourboy were heading to Cap Sunday morning. I was already tentatively planning a trip there Saturday so I'd get a chance to scout a bit.

Saturday ...

Kept busy all last week working on a rental property and did not fish once. So, I headed down to the SD river this morning to give it a go for a few hours. Never seem to get an early start(blame old age, or don't like to be cold?).
The water temp is still pretty cold and pretty murky from the rains ...

a banner across the Lower Otay Reservoir city website says closed on 2/19 due to algae bloom.

With the recent warm weather, I just figured the bass should be moving in tighter to shore. Hit the water a little after 8, and flipped
the tulles and outside of tulles in shallow water with plastic worms, craw and creature baits. So much for the bass being in tighter
as I worked those areas hard ...

awesome.
how bad was the algae?

:x Welcome back Dannicus ! Glad to see you
got some of your stuff straightened out and a new vehicle to get you back and forth places...especially to the city lakes! Excited to see your post, I glanced over it quickly at first and looked at both pics to see which bass was over 3 pounds and then ...

Nice wheels!!

After some recent warm days, I decided to hit the river again. I need to remember that we are still in February and water temp
was still pretty cool, especially at the river. After several casts with some crank baits with no takers and a few underspins, I decided
to slow it down a little. Worked a ...

Talked to McFish yesterday and a couple other guys today and heard of mostly small bass being caught, but glad to see the nice
one you caught. Yes the warmer water definitely will bring more bass in to shallower water and I like the part you said,
"And coming shortly after that.... TOPWATER yesssss ...
