Knowing it was going to get very hot quickly,I wanted to get there early, but got delayed sorting though all types of tackle at the last second to bring so did not arrive at he river till 10 minutes to 7. The sun was already out as last time it was over cast for at least an hour. Tossed some ...

Hey all,
I got to head back out to Miramar for a couple of hours 2x this week. I just wanted to get on the water and decompress. If I got bass that would be a bonus. Both days ended with only 3 fish each. I guess for 2-3 hours of fishing that isn't that bad. The water was down a foot from the last ...

Some of the bigger fish are starting to hit topwater walking baits at the Murr. I caught 6 early morning TW fish then it basically shut down. I picked up a few more on a jig pitching the edge of the tules and points. Total was 9, with the biggest going 4.1.

Anything over Four on Topwater will make your heart jump a beat!

I ventured over to Murray with my kayak this morning as today was going to be the only day I could fish this week. Water levels at Murray is up and down every few days now as I stop by the lake often and check it out at the boatramp. What was a foot or two above the average level last week which was ...

Sometimes its true...it is fun and this was one of them...I was there for a total of 3 casts (flips really) and here is the result:

Way better than the 12 fish dink festival at Hodges the day before...

Had a really fun 18 fish day at The Captain today, but I had to go old school to get them.

Started off on top with 2 on the Gunfish. Then I switched to a jig and got a couple more. Then the bite just stopped, so I tied on a pegged Texas rigged Trick worm and evidently that's what they wanted!

Most ...

"I guess I should be clearer, on a jerkbait do you use straight braid and on worms or craw baits, if you use Flo or mono on topwater I thought that they both sink so why wouldn’t you use braid as it floats, sorry about so many questions but you consistently catch fish and I’m appreciative of your ...

Oh and who said BFS won't work in grass and cover?IMG_20250812_142111741_AE.jpg


That looks exactly how my buddy does it. Just drag all the grass with 'em. Makes 'em look bigger.

Is it ok to weigh them with 5lbs of grass on them....asking for a friend (Vinny).....?

Yeah but it becomes ...

Much like earlier in the week I caught a couple of topwater early and 1 jig fish. After that the only thing that seemed to get their attention was a worm. So I T-rigged it and caught 6 or 7 that way but over half of them choked it, necessitating surgery. This is the primary reason I find of stopped ...

Finally got back out on the water again ( I really hate you guys that get to fish so often! 😝). Lake was packed! Had to have been at least one club tournament if not two going on.

Had really no idea what to expect except for the recent reports from here. Started out throwing a frog and missed a ...

With a very hot day ahead, I was going to stay home but decided to go to Murray. Finally got on the water a little after 7am and messed around trying to catch one of the bass chasing shad along the surface. It was next to impossible as those little buggers were up and down quickly but did pick up ...

The heat is why his was smaller. Lost a few pounds sweating.

Nich fish!

Yep

Holy Smokes!

Heck of a fish! Congrats!

Nice fish, I slayed out there today, bit of a lull between 11am and 1pm. I found where the nothing but 3+ were and with the cloud cover and bit of a sprinkle, top water was on. They were busting in frenzies after 3pm.

Healthy Fish! Sweet=D

Did a quick session down at the SD River from shore. Took 2 rods and just some light tackle. Arrived around 7am, despite saying to myself that I was going to be there early. I got only 4 bites and landed the 4 bass using a fluke and plastic worms. Nothing real big but still had fun time as the bass ...
