I mean, a truck trout would be pretty bada$$

These days my stoutest rod is a Lews custom 7' medium heavy speed stick. I have also have 1 medium, 1 medium light, 1 light, and 1 ultralight. Inevitably I find myself using the 3 lightest rods the most, all of which have Ark Gravity BFS reels on them.

After having fished with lighter tackle so ...

Ive been messed up by carp on crankbaits several times over the years. Fun but frustrating when you realize you HAVEN'T hooked your bass of a lifetime!

I always laugh when people in the midwest, and the south talk about how pressured their lakes are. Our biggest lakes around here, I'll include DVL in there are still less than half of one of their arms in their lakes! Id love to see how they would like to fish our little puddles.

Have not fished the SD river since Halloween which is scary, but been pretty busy and was out of town for a bit. Went down for a morning session and morning it was as I arrived at around 8:30 a.m. The water was even greener than last time and started off working a number of reaction baits(crank ...

If someone in a boat drops you off on a
shoreline that is not steep, you may be ok. Otherwise, it’s pretty steep with lots rocks
and probably not the greatest place to fish from shore. Unless you fish close to the boat dock or ramp If that is allowable. I know others could pipe in on this question.

Yeah back in the daywhen they stocked trout I used to walk back to the aqua duct and it was nice! I'd walk the shore line on the way out for a chance at a few bass. Now those banks are covered with huge gravel rocks.
I still see shore guys fish though from time to time.
I haven't been there for a ...

I arrived at the lake at 8:00 a.m. after dropping the kids off at school. Started fishing, and by 10:00 a.m. I started feeling like crap. Sore throat, fever, stuffy nose. Still I did manage one pretty decent fish on a jig. Been in bed ever since.

Here's to Hope and I feel better and get back on ...

It's going around, all over. Had that nasty cold two weeks ago. Missed three days of work and a fishing date with a couple of friends. I did manage to sneak in a couple of hours before having to punch the time clock on the following Monday., though.

Otay has overtaken El Cap as my favorite local body of water this year. Hadn't been in a few weeks and decided to make an early morning run in the tube.

Got in the water well before sunrise and was greeted by some busters and an early catch on a small subsurface walking bait. Threw a 110 Jr for ...

Nice job out there buddy!
Heck, while I was kicking back in a sweatshirt and sweat pants, you were having a heck of a lot more fun
down at Otay. Looks like you had a blast experimenting with the stalling thing and and it sure looks like
it paid off. I will be trying more hover baits this winter as ...

So many trees and stickups on that lake. You will burn through a lot of tackle.

Hit the SD river this morning around 8 am and it took just over 2 hours before I got my first bite on a brushhog that I tossed in between
sunken branches and the shoreline. Set the hook and enjoyed about 5 or 6 seconds of a nice fight and suddenly the bass came off. I mean I had tension on him and ...

Nice. Ugly lures that work good make me smile

In years gone by, we fished live shiners under bobbers and caught nice bass. San V is not the same now. Since they drew done the lake for the dam raising, the trees grew up along the shore that are now submerged. If you fish above them you may be okay. Like I said, try live medium shiners under ...

Chunks=)

That June bug pays off again. That and your accurate casting and all around expertise.

It was a T rig and jig morning, got a nice surprise pulling the chatter over a snag.

Geez....where are the bass posts?.....I guess nobody is bass fishing anymore...ha ha.
I decided to venture over to Murray this morning despite hearing how tough and bad the bite been by more than a few guys I know and various guys coming off the lake recently. I figured what a perfect time to toss ...
