Very nice!
Always enjoy the videos and watching you on the rougher water the first 20 seconds, I ran to the medicine chest to take some
Dramamine, but put it away as the water calmed down. Always feel like I am fishing right there with you and great to
see your post and hopefully there are many ...

Anybody heard from Moose? I always enjoyed his posts and intel on lakes. Hopefully he’s just busy doing grownup things lol.

On the lake by 6 and off again by 10'30 because it got hot!

I launched at North Point and headed Southwest. Caught a couple on topwaters but there really weren't too many busting that way. I picked up a couple more swimming a small jig with a Keitech fat impact for a trailer.

After I kicked back ...

El Capitan Bass Fishing: Topwater & Jigs!
https://youtu.be/3Ej6sBIWGB4

Hey all I finally made it back to El Capitan after a few months away. I had heard the fishing had improved and wanted to go someplace. I hadn’t been in a while and have fun doing some different things. I got out on the water and ...

Enjoyed the video and that Dep’s top water bait looks deadly. I have used 6 pound test on lakes that have pretty clear water in more open waters…. but you’re a lot braver than me throwing that light line at El Cap.
Getting out on the lake for even a few hours is always worth it. Looks like you ...

Once again another top notch angling video. Your videos and the quality of them never ceases to amaze me. I think that i can speak for all my angler friends in saying give credit where credits due and you have definately earned such credit. Keep up the great and entertaining work and thank you ...

Nice! I’ve heard that there can be good smallmouth on the lower Owen’s River. I’ve only done trout up there. Enjoy! It’s beautiful this time of year.

Hey all I wanted to share a new lure (for me at least) that I doubt most of you have ever heard of. At least those who do not BFS or ultralight fish. It accounted for over 30 topwater bass yesterday at Murray. Probably 15 were dinks with the rest being 2 lb clones... except...I did manage to pull in ...

This sucks! If any one here happens to see an unfizzed bass, you can bend out a hook and pinch the bath and fizz fish too! I’ve done it a few times when I haven’t had my fizzier.

Hello angling amigos, it’s been a minute since I posted here.

Work and band stuff is keeping me busy… oh, and so is fishing ;)

I have a couple spots I’m admittedly not gonna talk about here where I’ve had success in the last month.

As for the ones I will gladly talk about, have been out to Cap ...

I’m one of those guys that don’t like tournaments or tournament fisherman. Sorry. Well, not sorry… I’ve only ever done ones at night, not for the tournament aspect, just to be able to fish a normally closed at night lake in a boat. The stereotype seems to fit 90%.

If you wanna see that stereotype ...

So the tournament didn't have someone on site to fizz bass released in the tournament? That violates the conditions of their permit. Do you have photos or video of this incident? I can rectify this problem real quick...

Greeted with cool conditions in the morning at Murray.
Brrrrrrr!

Around 9:00, the bass were starting to chase shad across the surface. Mixed it up with lots of reaction type baits and bottomline the clones were on the chew. Fished for a while next to my buddy Larry as bass were ...

I got to San Vicente early and was very excited to be able to try out my brand new/old motor on my boat. Got her launched without a hitch and was estatic to find hat she got on plane and handled terrific. It seemed like only seconds before i was at the Barona arm. As i was pulling in a few busters ...

I woke up early and flipped a coin between Murray and El Cap. Murray came up heads and won. But it turned out to be a good lucky choice.

The busting never really got going so I decided to jig fish the bottom. I found the bite just outside of dropoffs in 20-30 feet of water. The ticket was a 5/16th ...

Went with a friend to help set up my weight balance on my boat and we fished a quick session the same place I ran into the busters on prior trip. Its a wonder that I have stuck with fishing as part of my life as long as I have because of how fickle fishing and lakes can be. We picked up 3 small fish ...

When I reordered a Tsurinoya Flicker 70 from Aliexpress (see my previous post about a new lure) it was so cheap I decided to pick up a couple of other lures as well including its little brother which came in at 50mm, (under 2 inches) and 3 grams.

After catching probably 2 dozen dinks (1 pound or ...

Nice! Temu has some great lures too.

Fish are supposed to take line, when we hook them. Thsts what makes it fun

My BFS reels are spooled with only 50-70 yards of line to help with casting distances. I could almost see the spool a couple of times during the fight lol

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 ...
