Got a free rental for paying 5 today started beginning Harvey both my buddy and I hooked up 3 each all solid 2 pounders had to weigh nicest one to make sure fat belly’s were nicer fish for most part wind made it difficult to fish anywhere but we still managed at least a dozen each my buddy found ...

Nice job!
Not easy to fish in the wind with a rental boat, but you guys did pretty darn good.
What is a free boat rental for paying for 5?
Thanks for sharing and tight lines :-)


Yeah I wanted to wait till wed cause I knew was gonna b windy anchor did nothing lol we payed for boat 5 times and ...

It was overcast and chilly early this morning at Murray. I caught 4 fat clones on topwater early before the wind came up and forced me to move to the bottom.

I posted my favorite BFS topwater baits in the BFS section for those interested. All the topwater fish today came courtesy of the tiny ...

nice job out there! I was there on Saturday and got most my fish shallow on the free rig and neko. only 1 bite on a jerkbait but it was a double with a 2lber and a 0.5lber lol so I guess it was 2 bites?

Grabbed some gear and tossed it in my kayak and headed away from Murray and up to Lake Miramar this morning.
Not a real early start as I was on the water just before 7 and saw only one other angler fishing in a float tube. The water was glassy and nothing broke on the surface so I went to my usual ...

Awesome as always Vinny! You just know how to fish.

Thanks Dan…but you my man, know how to fish.
Every time I’m at Murray and you are there, all I see is you pulling in another fish.
Hey, by the way, I really enjoyed checking out your BFS gear the other day when I stopped by Murray. I can’t ...

Misty overcast morning which was perfect for top water action. Went across the dock and got one on the popper second cast. Worked along the way to Harvey and got a few more, blow up on a frog but missed.
Looked like there was a tournament because there were 20 boats down Harvey! Found a flat area ...

Hey all!
I had a tiny window of opportunity to fish on Wednesday morning so I went to...Hodges! I got in line at 5:30am with 10 cars in front of me. Got down to launch and the carp guys had already set up shop in the launch area. So there ...

I wonder how many baits I would’ve changed
before I tied on a topwater bait if I was up there fishing near you this morning? Ha ha Anyway, none of that matters as It sounds like you hit the jackpot going out to the middle of the lake. Those are some nice fish and bet you were having a blast out ...

Got 4 dinks on neko 4” lizard and 6th sense worm didn’t want dinks tearing up my good plastics lol bunch people all catching dinks fished from 630-930 no pics of dinks

One of Loveland’s rules is no fish reports

I’ve been going to Loveland for 40 yrs u don’t have to tell me anything it’s over run by kids I tell people on fish brain if they post at Loveland it will ruin the last free Jem of San Diego I’m an alpine local grew up there lived there since the 80s I posted on here because it’s now a younger lake ...

Freaking awesome!!!!!!

What is crazy is each week, things seem to change at that lake and you never know what to expect but being flexible
is the key as McFish proved.

The last time I went to the SD River(4/23), I saw lots of floating dead bass and only got one bite and was very lucky to even catch a micro bass.
This morning did not see any dead fish which was nice. I covered a lot of water, first tossing a fluke and a few other reaction baits and no takers. It ...

You throw weird baits!

As we spoke about out on the water at El Cap brother, I briefly considered adding it to my float tube. Briefly being the key word in that sentence. I have no problem with guys using it, but like you, I've watched them spend hours staring at their screens. Speaking for myself, that's the polar ...

Its a tool just like spotlock. Does it make you a better fisherman? It helps but not make you catch fish. If anything it tells you have many fish won't bite. Like anything else you must learn it. It does not do well in shallow water. The jig and minnow thing is a kick but frustrating at the same ...

Others have mentioned that it is simply yet another tool to your arsenal. I remember the same controversy when Alabama rigs came out.

From experience, it definitely helps when the shallow bite isn't happening. Many have this false sense that you see the fish and you cast to the fish and then you ...
