If you free line a senko on the edge of the tulles
or even a little deeper and work them slowly over the grass has always been a good option also.

Gotta gave tullies first Vinny, there is none at this time due to low water


Thanks for letting me know.
Have not been there for a long time and remember years ago when the water was low as heck and the water level at the
tulles was about 2' or less and could not believe I still caught bass ...

My prayers go out to you for your wife and for you to be strong throughout this stressful time.
Hopefully all will be well and both of you can clear your minds and get back to less stressful things.
Best wishes and tight lines always my friend.

I got on the water at 5:30. In the summer months I am not dropping the kids off at school everyday, so I do get on the water earlier albeit less frequently. They'll be seniors next year, which is hard to believe.

Anyway I saw VinnyBass out there on his electronics-free kayak doing his Vinny thang ...

Ended the morning with 9 fish total. All on jigs along drop offs, and frogs across the top of floating vegetation mats (of which there are plenty). I put a new seat in my float tube and man is it nice! Ergonomic and no more sliding down in the seat. Should have done it years ago.

Go look at mattlures galleries on his website. Any pic that has tulles with waders or pine trees in the back is cuyamaca.

I’ve always wanted to give that place time for bass, never have. I fished it a bunch over the years for bass but not consistently. Never had quantity or any jumbos. I know guys that do well but they are religiously hitting it when it’s biting. Many trips in a short time frame. You’re blessed if you ...

Final count was 13 with three of them over 3 pounds, one over 4 pounds and the best was a 6.2 pounder.

All fish were courtesy of a jig. I tried throwing a walking bait numerous times and had only one bite which came unbuttoned. The topwater action never really got going that I saw.

It was great ...

@Fisheromen 's daughter Kathryn, aka "Kat" showing the guys she knows how to catch bass too!

In years of high water, the south end has been very good to me. I caught my largest personal best at Cuyamaca, but it was way back at the end of June in 2009. I caught a 12 lb bass on a Senko just as a thunderstorm began. It was possible back in those days, to catch numbers and quality, but you had ...

Excellent results “gettin jiggy with it”.

So, since someone killed all the fish in my old favorite spot, I had to find a new one...so I tried Irvine lake. Only had a couple hours, and only got 2 bites, but it was worth the trip! Got there right at 7 when they say it opens and there were lots of people there already...next time i may go a ...

Well yeah!! (To your new lake, fish worthy of 2 pics, and the kid being sentenced to a life of buying needless tackle)

El cap ramp still open for boat launch got there w kayak at 530 peddled to Rock piles middle lake across from dam finger I been throwing this zoom horny toad lately topwater been nice to me I missed 3 in my first 4 casts then proceeded to catch around 7 on it only couple after sun came up so I ...

Headed over to Murray and joined by my buddy Joe for a little morning session. The bass are there, but up and down so fast off the surface that it has been very challenging. Actually it is frustrating especially when you land you bait right next to or on top where a bass just jumped and no takers ...

Hey all,
I haven't gotten to post (or fish) in a while. I did have the opportunity to head out for just a few hours on Saturday to Lake Miramar. It was a nice mental therapy session just to decompress. The bonus was that I caught fish! I just wanted to take it back old ...

Fished Miramar almost every weekend with my dad starting in the early 70s. I always remember walking along the shore and fishing between the tulles because there was a lot of space back then to fish from shore. When we threw plastic worms, we always put a split shot up the line so that the worm ...

A couple of pics from Murray today.

Topwater was going OFF early on and I managed 7 fish - split between a Gunfish 80, and a little Nage swimbait. Lots of fun. Then at around 7:00 it's like someone rang the school bell, and the topwater playground cleared out completely. So I went to the bottom ...

geeez...thats a lot

All I can think about after nearly 40 Bass is Thumb Cramps. It’s a “good pain”.
