How many have found baits along the bank in trees in the weeds or wherever when fishing and went on to fish them???
I mostly fish Hodges and it has more fishing line,hooks,baits,hard and soft,trash and used fishing gear than any lake I've been to!!!!
I'm always pulling braid and mono line out of my ...

Haven’t been on SDfish too much lately but I decided to post this catch. I was planning on taking out the kayak but didn’t want to go through the hassle of loading it up so instead, I went on the bank. I saw some fish busting so I decided to throw a small 2.8 Keitech on an underspin. I got caught on ...

The fat one bit a Mattlure hard wake gill at first light.

Legit carp on jig. Thumped it just like a bass.

It was a T rig and jig morning, got a nice surprise pulling the chatter over a snag.

Thanks all for the recommendations on where to fish on Sunday. I did end up going to Otay and met Corsoenthusiast (SP?) out there. Shortly after the sun came up we and about 30 of our closest boats, tubes, yaks and shore guys were on the fish. It seemed that everyone ...

Few bites, A few fish and 1 biggin. But not the right kind!
This is a view of the dang thing hanging around 15' for ever.
Another surprise was the water temp up 3 degrees from last Wednesday.
Oh and ignore the fat neck.

"Blades, Ice Jigs & Spoons..oh my!" was the theme today at Murray. Decided to give it a go after some inspiration by yesterdays post by Dannicus. Fumbling around at home I did not get on the water till around 8:45.I tossed a few swim baits near the ramp and shoreline but it already started to warm ...

It's stocking week at the pond. Which means I'll have the following interaction about 15 times a day this week:

"Did they stock yet?!"

"No."

"Damn! Do you know when they're gonna stock?"

"No."

A few moments later, the same $hit happens, with someone asking:

"Did they stock yet?!"

I need ...

The Clones are here...that time of the year! I got to the lake in the dark and drizzle, wondering if it was a good idea....it was! Fun day, brought 21 to the tube and didn't lose any big fish, contrary to the last couple weeks! But I also didn't hook any larger fish this trip..bummer, unless you ...

A quick change of plans. After just hammering them last week, I was sure I knew the pattern for today...nope! Started out throwing the same stuff as last week, only got me 2 small fish.I changed up some baits, didn't really help! I noticed a few busters out in the middle of the lake, figuring they ...

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 ...

Thank you

Same Jam here! From Onion Valley trail head campground.

Just like bass miss Shad, bluegill, frogs etc. point is, bass will still inhale fish that are not “naturally” part of a particular water body …moot

Bluegill, green sunfish, copper nosed gills, redear sunfish, black and white crappie. Redbreast sunfish to name a few. Hope it helps

All my life I've been a salt water guy, had multiple boats, normally around the 21' range and I'd go looking for tuna. Sold all of that including my gear many years ago, my back just couldn't handle the pounding any longer (3 compressed disks).

My grandson has spina bifida so has a hard time ...

This is a mouth breather from Henshaw last year. Caught on a Montana Hybrid fly.
