Youre not going to get a pass, let is slide due to age at the golf coarse ponds....
You will get kicked out, by the grounds keepers...
Thats why we call it "ninja bassin"......


Slater,
Your critique is recognized and appreciated, thanks.
However:
1. I can ninja with the best of them ...

Did some BFS fishing at Otay this morning.  Caught 3 bass on a Mini Brushhog, and 3 large bluegill on a 2" jerkbait.  Fun mornin!

Hey all one of my goals for the new year is to step out and try lots of new fishing spots. I headed to Lake Mohave over the Christmas holidays and ended up getting blown out for the most part, literally. The day I got there the wind was blowing 30 ...

Went for a morning hike to celebrate my bday. Took home a couple presents. Got em on 3" drop shots and spinnerbaits. Invite yourself fishing.

I've been absolutely killing it at Murray. Fishing my BFS setup with a 1/16 oz Keitech Mono Spin jig paired with a Z-Man 2.5 inch TRD Crawz. Both in green pumpkin. I must have caught 20 keeper sized bass in my last 2 trips.

Nice job! You’re doing better than anyone I’ve talked to there in the last few weeks. Skunks and one fish or two fish is the best I’ve heard. Guessing small baits is the key to success. Thanks for sharing and tight lines. :-)

And I know you're been catching some. You were landing one just as ...

Made a trip on Sunday morning to my favorite local body of water. Was pleased to see the water level a couple feet higher on account of recent rain. Hopefully some more will bring that water level back up.

It was 3 days after the full moon and we had some favorable eastbound wind and a few warmer ...

Had an excellent day on the water at Murray today. Caught 13 bass in 4 hours with nary a dink in the bunch! These are the days that make up for the ones you gotta grind to get a bite haha!

After listening to the local news last night I headed out this morning half expecting to find Noah and his Ark out there to avoid the flooding!

Pretty sunrise this morning and only two other boats out when I launched and according to the worker at the ramp they left fairly early so I was, literally ...

Crawdads vs. Jigs: Which Will Catch More?
https://youtu.be/aooAO1DD0OE

Hey all I hope you’re staying dry. Headed out to El Capitan this Sunday and decided I would fish crawdads. I used to love fishing crawdads and haven’t done it for a while because many of my old crawdad holes no longer hold them ...

My Pops…

Some more Craw….Bass, Various So Cal Lakes. Yes I use a Spinning Rod. Works for me.

In the book Knowing Bass , the author describes an experiment done at Berkley where they started with a plastic craw and did modifications to see what worked best. Removing the claws and other legs worked the best. They tried longer, shorter and fatter shapes and the craw body size was about best ...

I saw that video and thought how many thousands of dollars I could save not buying more and more fishing tackle
if I could do that….. ha ha

I know I’m going to sound like a grumpy old man here but please bear with me.

To the Basshole in the white Ranger with beige and black stripes. Just because I started in the same spot you wanted to doesn’t mean you continue to roll in on me until you, literally, cast across me! Get to the lake ...

I hear you Moose.
I have learned to try to be more lenient when a guy with his family for example, are in rental boat and have no clue that when
they come close to where I am fishing or cut between me and the shoreline. Not fun, but I guess most do not really know any
better and are just out to have ...

Had an awesome multi-species day BFS fishing at lake Murray. Ended up with 13 Bass and two Trout. I was throwing mini Ned rigs, and tiny jigs with TRD Crawz trailers. Most of the bass were in the 2 pound range with one over 3, and another close to 4 lbs. I have to admit, BFS has rapidly become my ...

Sutherland opened today and everybody seemed to know. I wrote a longer report but touched the wrong button and it vanished! Not as easy as it used to be, or I am dumber!
Short version: Water is cold, fish are in the stick-ups and seem to be few.

Had a serious case of bass thumb after yesterday at San V. All it took was a trip to El Cap to cure that! 😆 Been several months since I’d been there. It’s a totally different lake since the last time I was there.

I have always had pretty steady luck with a crankbait there so that’s what I started ...

With a little boat surgery, got 2 today.
Missed one pickup.
All on drop-shotted pumpkin Kreatures.
Got a chance to cruise the shoreline for the first time this year.
No well defined beds yet; but some smaller males are hanging around shallow developing beds.
Today's catch was all in about 20' of ...
