What a chunk...and so is the cat.....! Once again you're trying to tell us that 4" is really 6"....Robos that is.....! Nice start to the topwater season!!!

Rumor has it that they just did some electroshocking to do a fish count at the lake..that might explain why the fish kind of seemed to be in a coma! I tried to get some topwater going early, but the fish weren't having it...I didn't see any surface action so I lost interest pretty fast. I switched ...

Still a good day!
Shocking fish for counts. Is SD Water District starting to care again? What's next, they will start clipping fins again and asking for counts? Just kidding, any love for the lakes is good love=)

Surely you jest....the water people caring about the fish..hahahaha! I believe the ...

It's been several weeks since I've done a Monday on San V and it felt good to be back! The lake is higher than it's ever been and everything I've learned there in the last 60 years is pretty much out the window! Fortunately, the fish made it easy on me by hanging out in the brush in shallow water. I ...

Funny, mini fat Rap..that's what I use to throw at Hodges 20 years ago! Good job on the fish!

Good job. I was there a little over a week ago and had a nice Topwater session. Spooks, whoppers and frogs. Lost a DD bulldogged me deep after inhaling the spook - heart break. Fun times ahead

I would expect nothing less from you! I wait for the busters to come up, you force them to come up ...

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

Yep, a clone kind of day!

I know somehow it was Vinnybass that planned this surprise party! I hope he got Fisheromen's permission first! A fun time was had by all, even though Vinny was a little grumpy at first after missing some hooksets..fortunately he got his mojo back! I ended the day with 15 clones and broke off 3 fish ...

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 ...

San V is a whole new lake at this level! All the fish that were up tight 2 weeks ago, have mostly bailed out to the deeper sumac, manzanita, and scrub oaks! All the big swirls and belly flops I saw last time out were big ol carp..they're are some monsters still in there! I'm hoping the busters start ...

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 ...

And the Ugly....you're talking about the small fish...correct????? Must of been extremely frustrating for you to write a short story....

I think El Cap tranlates to "Lake of Nasty stinkin wind". It can definitely be tough in the afternoons for kayaks, tubes, and aluminum boats! Some days reaction baits are the only thing you can throw on the nasty days. Congrats on picking up some fish in those conditions! They always say wind can be ...

Cool video...good to see the soccer balls biting again!

I was out at Parker on the River and saw a 20lb striper floundering on the surface, went over and picked it up and it had a 3lb bass stuck in it's mouth..the bass had a baby bluegill stuck in it's mouth! I'm not surprised by what eats what anymore!

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 ...

That happened to me too many times and is exactly the reason I fish 20 Braid and 15 Flouro leader. Case in point. I set the hook on a hard tap yesterday and was on a fish for 20 minutes praying it was a non- jumping Bass. It towed my Tube slowly 100 yards out into the Lake. You already know it was ...

It's always a rush when you hook up with a toad!

It's pretty up there...how's the skeeters this summer?
