If you fish basic bass fishing areas like the shoreline, or shoreline stick-ups, tulles or rocky areas along the shore, there is no point
in spending money for FFS. If it looks bassy, then throw your lure over to it is what I do. To find high spots or structure in deeper
water away from the ...

I have FFS on my boat and i love it. Even though I have the old 32 version and only 9" screen. Hope to upgrade some day. It opens up a whole new adventure in fishing. When I first got it I did the bait balls and bass thing. Then I started using it to find structure, then fish on the structure, then ...

After 2 weeks of catching mostly dinks and one pounders, I finally got onto a bite today with better quality fish. 9 total fish all two plus pounds with the best going three and a half.

All in all a pretty fun morning.

One of my dearest friends Timmy (in Oregon) has been following the potential lake closures in California, and I thought I'd share a meme he created thinking of me.

For me, the fun in bass fishing, or fishing in general, is figuring out the bite. Some days I can do it, some days the bass win. To me, that is the best part of fishing. Trying to figure out the puzzle each time on the water.

While I understand FFS is viewed by many as just another tool. To me ...

Got out in the water about 6:30 and there were about 5 trailers in the lot. Word must have gotten out that the lake was still launchable because by about 9:00 there were boats on almost every bit of exposed rock on the lake!

Caught 10 today. Biggest was just over 3lbs and best five probably went ...

Here is a pic of, what used to be, Boulder Bay and the depth in the middle of the lake outside of it.

Too bad the water is not going right into Murray to the water level so I could pitch Tokyo rigs into tulles like I used to years ago. That’s not happening because they can’t raise the water over a certain level now at Murray so it’ll never be like it was about three years ago. Anyway, nice seeing a ...

I use old school forward facing sonar.

Made it out to Henshaw this past week to do a little bass and carp fishing. Started the morning off throwing at carp with the fly rod and picked off a few on a black leech before the wind kicked up. Switched over to conventional tackle and started flipping the tree's with a black and blue creature ...

It seems like forever since I fished Murray so I decided to head over and see what's happening.
Used reaction baits for a few active bass up near the surface, I stuck a little too long using reaction baits as overall there was not much surface action this morning and the sun was up early. I then ...

Took me 20 mins get this before gate closed got there at 7pm Vinny got a nice one on craw so I went landed this on the dolive 4”

After some quality bigger fish yesterday it was back to clones at Murray today. I actually wasn't going to post, but I just had to share a picture of this pretty clone I caught. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It had the most beautiful golden almost orange tone to it. Very dark and vivid ...

Rad day at Murray. I stopped counting at 30 fish. Lots of bass in the high 2 pound range and 3 fish over 3 pounds. Also caught the biggest bluegill I've ever seen. Fat as hell. It's mouth was big enough for my scale and it weighed in at 2.54 lbs.

So much fun, it almost makes me regret leaving on ...

Was thinking crappie but the mouth isn’t big enough. A beast whatever it is!!

Same guy! He's a regular on Ramona wildlife websites! He has some good photos...if they are actually his......


You might laugh, but birding is a highly competitive pastime and there is some amount of fame and fortune for the top birders and their pics and species observed. Would it surprise ...

Nice to read about you guys adventures on one of my favorite lakes. I sure miss that place, and those green fishies.

That brings back memories for me because I remember when you and a couple of the guys would always post things about lake Sutherland on the old Sdfish. It was always funny to see ...

Birding and photos are not much more different than trophy hunting for bass or animals. Scratches the same itch.

Headed out with the girl about 5:30 and plenty of boats had already launched. Ramp is darn close to its end but ok for another day, week, maybe two. @Moose was right on from yesterday, fish are on the chew. Saw that topwater shad trapped against the shore right away. We had stopped just shy of where ...
