An oil painting...I'm thinking more like water colors! Good thing you didn't come out to the D.K. yesterday, with temps in the high 90s and 30mph Santa Ana's blowing...you would of been screaming like a little girl! Plus, you wouldn't want to be catching bigger fish....lol lol lol lol ! Maybe next ...

So much for weather forecasts! Winds of 10-12 mph predicted..wrong! It started out calm and beautiful, fishing was a little slower than last week, partly because 4 guys were sitting on my not so secret spot! By 9:00, a slight breeze out of the east started up, and living in Ramona, I know that can ...

Just another S.D. lake destroyed...miss the old days!

I did not miss 5 straight bass...I was practicing early catch and release...I'm not used to fishing fat baits like you, I'm going back to my finesse baits!

Sure looks like great conditions!

He intentionally catches anorexic fish...thinks he's doing them a favor!

I have endured Mr. Vinnybass harassing me for years, questioning my quanity over quality attitude..so today I put away my finesse baits and brought out the bigger stuff! The good news..I averaged bigger fish (I think). The bad news...my quanity was way down! The worse news...Vinny caught more than ...

Line size, hook size and bait is a slippery slope =D I definitely think you get more bites on lighter line and smaller hooks. When tuna fishing you sometime need to go down to a size 4 bait hook on a 5 or 6 in sardine to get bit. Then you risk pulling the hook after you bit.

All nice looking ...

We won!

Nice bass for that far north..good job!

I believe the El Cap water goes to Murray and is turned into drinking water. Remember that Mayor Toad Glorious said he doesn't want to buy any water from up north, he would rather drain our lakes down! He's not a big fan of fisherman. The council doesn't really care either, all their talk about ...

Can boats be launched?

It's hard to rely on the water level at Miramar..you never know...

He obviously only cares about the walkers and joggers....he's basically saying " Screw the Fisherman"..! He knows most of us are not in the City and don't vote for the Clown!

After reading Mr. Vinny's glowing report on Miramar yesterday, guess where I went today...yep, Murray! It started out good with a couple topwater fish, but within 10 minutes they were gone! I heard that the day before the busters were at the other end of the lake, so I kicked all the way across the ...

I'm sure it was a bat ray that took your rod........

Wow, you’re drinking again and even before 8:30 AM. So sad.

Yes..diet Pepsi no caffeine, followed with a nonfat milk chaser.....

He's Back =D Congratulations on the first SMB! Now you know how much harder they fight pound for pound. Keep live it up my man!


It really did fight harder lol. I've been hoping for a striper too, but to be honest, I have no idea how to fish for them so .... But who knows right? Maybe a ...
