Wow! GREAT fish. Congrats

Wow, so cool! Congrats on a beautiful fish =D

After reading Mr. Vinny's glowing report on Miramar yesterday, guess where I went today...yep, Murray! It started out good with a couple topwater fish, but within 10 minutes they were gone! I heard that the day before the busters were at the other end of the lake, so I kicked all the way across ...

Holy Moly, great job.

Amazing fish! Great job sticking with it for the reward!

Yes

That's nice! Worth the trip.

Spent the first 3 weeks of vacation camped at Cottonwood AZ. Took day trips to the Grand Canyon, Tuzigoot, Montezuma Castle and all the surrounding monuments and towns. I never did locate a good spot to launch my tube so I didn't fish for 3 weeks.

The DTs started to set in. Uncontrollable shaking ...

Spent a lot of time throwing onto bass swirling around the surface feeding almost exclusively on small shad. Still exciting but then you start seeing that 90% of them are very small 8-12" bass. Every once in a while maybe a 2lb bass would jump but even then that was rare, but that is what keeps you ...

I found a pattern on Lake Mohave my last day here. I got on the water at 3 am, and immediately headed to rocky areas I identified yesterday. I was casting weedless craw baits on to the bank and bouncing them down steep rocky banks.

Ended the day at 11am with nine largemouth and one smallie. Most of ...

By sneak I mean that most people have to work on Wednesdays...Got to Hodges, bought a ticket and drove over to the other side (which is the only side for me I guess) but half way there I remembered leaving my sunglasses on top of the ticket machine (oops) so I drove back and by some miracle they ...

Well I took my car to mechanic for oil leak so I took a break all week got to cap early 530 this morning no yak on foot I decided to fish the rock pile next to ramp boats still launching water level hasn’t dropped much 👍 was the right move I got 6 in first hour then I decided to cover ground wasn’t ...

...and far, far away, I ventured up to the Lake of D & K. Fisheromen and Mcfish were already therehaving the advantage living in Ramona and a hop skip and jump from the lake. Picked up just a couple on top with a few others found freedom tossing the hook while those guys were having a lot of action ...

The best color I donated to the lake via a hard hookset last week...Ghost Minnow!

I love me a Gunfish. That little pop-chug as it walks is the bomb.

Late post but wanted to share. Fished Murray Thursday morning. I was able to hit this beauty off a drop shot. Pulled some drag and immediately knew it was a good one. Biggest one for me this year. Scaled at 4.14lbs. Tight lines guys!

6 am check in. Haven't been here in a while, water is down 3 to 4' from when I was there last. Changed everything. I went to my favorite first stop and had to figure it out. No topwater for me, no real busters. Fluke did okay, but I noticed this guy just going off on them. I couldn't stand it and ...

Fishing today my new fishing pole bfs rig at lake Murray i can see this lake from my house

I made a trip to Murray last week. No topwater. A couple on Texas rig. 14 on a 3" fluke style bait. A couple 4lbers and as it has been a bigger one that got away.

Got to Murray around 7:30 am, which is a pretty late start but still managed to have fun picking up some on top. Nothing real big but always fun to watch them hit your bait on top of the water. Bass are feeding on shad all over and it has been a challenge at times even throwing right onto boils and ...
