Thanks for the update! I'm ready to start hitting other lakes again and just trying to decide where to go this weekend. Info is good. Cheers!

Where's the videos and beers?


The videos are out there for sure! I went to Montana and made 2 videos from there (in the Trout Fishing section) and ...

I actually did not plan to fish today and got on the water with my kayak close to 7am. Had the pleasure to meet and chat with 1FishDude, who had a very cool pontoon set-up. It was a tough start as I was only able to land 2 bass until around 10.
Then things got a little better as I mixed it up with ...

Awesome Vinny, once again you're my hero. I found it tough out there today.

Had a ball out at Murray Thursday. Met a great guy and guide in VinnyBass also. Started around 7 am and was surprised to see busters all over the lake. I started with a weighted fluke for no love as I made my way out to the middle of lake where i saw VinnyBass make some hook ups but didnt see him ...

It was nice meeting you and really liked your pontoon fishing set-up. You looked really comfortable sitting high on the water
a probably a heck of a lot easier to get off longer casts. Yeah, the whole morning was pretty darn slow and with the moon being so full the night before, I always assume the ...

Have had a lot of really good days lately so I suppose it was time for a reality check. Took the drive up to Hodges hoping for some jiggy piggies since that’s my favorite place to drag a jig around.

It was a gorgeous day out. Water temp a balmy 82 and apparently the fish thought the buffet was ...

I was out there on a tube as well from 6:00-9:30 with only three bass for the day. All on a drop shot fluke dragged on the bottom as if fishing the bay for spotties. I launched out of Hernandez and fished that side of the peninsula. Water was chocolate milk and absolutely full of carp on the muddy ...

Hey everyone, not new to the forum but new to posting. I went out to Hodges with the goal of catching a PB. After grinding away for a couple of hours, I met another fisherman who was having some luck with crank baits. I have zero confidence with crank baits but patterns are patterns so I tied on a ...

Very cool, congrats my PB is 6+1/2 lb and I caught it in the 80’s, like you I've caught lots of 3 and 4 pounders but I haven’t gotten close to 6lb in 40 years, we’re practically twins ha ha. I caught it at Otay 3 days before the NEW MOON.
All we can do is keep trying.
THANKS FOR YOUR POST ...

I caught my PB from hodges as well. Im glad hodges has some bigguns left after everything its been through over the last several years

I told my wife I was going to Hodges to catch a PB. Took the Go Pro so I could get a picture. I was lucky my scale still had batteries with juice.

Nice!

I wish i could do that at Murray

Nice variety of baits and challenges, great job as always.
Don’t stop posting
Keep on casting it’s the only way

Went to Miramar for a couple hours this afternoon after reading some reports here. A few fish busting on shad here and there but weren’t interested in anything I threw at them. Landed one on a small jerk bait near some tules. This fish fought like one twice his size which was fun. Might head out ...

Many of the bass are eating baitfish and had success with reaction baits. The fish fight hard because I believe that
many have never ever been hooks as there is not heavy fishing pressure up there and last year from September on it was closed to
water craft till July of this year. Good luck if you ...

Been hitting San V a few times. There has been a lot of silver sides. Hard baits get me the dinks. Plastics get me a verity of sizes. Managed to land a Kitty over 20lbs. There is 1 spot that has been producing skinny ones. Not sure what is wrong or happening to them.

Do you know where I haven’t been in a long time? San Vicente. I was thinking about where the fish and I realized I hadn’t been there since they raised the lake. So I got out on the water first thing and realized I’m kind ...
