Lots of happy faces with bass tells the whole story!
Thanks for sharing your fun morning with us.

Better than being stuck at work any day!

El Cap is a lot of fun when the Bass finally come up. Some Pigs in there, this is one lake where giants will grab your Dinks and make a meal of them.

Looked apocalyptic down there in the evening! That wind was insane. Caught almost everything out deeper tonight. Either the shallow fish have already moved on and the next wave hasn’t moved up yet, or the weather change has them retreating. Bro caught his new PB - about 18” long and pretty girthy ...

We found her in like 25’ at the end of a rocky point! My bro landed her on his ultralight rig and a 6# leader to boot!

It was a slow start but ended up with 5 fish...not bad for my 1st outing of the year at Hodges...I threw a bunch of stuff early, first trip...lots of off season tackle purchases. But the first fish was on a texas rigged baby brush hog.

Then I tried more of that and got ...

Here's some fish from the past few months since it's been a while. All from Santee Lakes.

Nice job

Thanks for the report!

I wanted to fish this morning and even with the threat of severe thundershowers, I figured a few hours is better than nothing,
Loaded my kayak on the truck and didn't bring much tackle but had rain pants and jacket packed just in case. When I got to
the San Diego river is was clam and actually ...

What Vinny really takes to the river....

What Vinny really catches them on....

I was in that Storm at El Cap. Had a pattern going when it started to move in. We ran back to the dock and tied up and sat in the Truck as all hell broke loose. Hail,Rain, Wind, Lightning. It shook the Truck for about 1/2 hour and then was gone. Turned into a beautiful afternoon, unfortunately they ...

The fact that they can't afford to have the facilities open 365 days a year is already BS IMO, and don't even get me started on closing at night even for shore fishing... I'm glad I fish mostly saltwater now.

Buzz bait bass #shorts #pescadelobina #bassfishing

It's my dream! I've been working on ways to throw bigger profile baits on BFS gear. Basically larger size without adding too much weight for the rod. I've discovered a few options.

I gotta get back to to Hodges again. Haven't fished it since the weekend after the opener. Awesome report! Thanks!

My first trip back to one of my favorite lakes in almost 2 years due back surgery. And, it was a good one.
The lake was completely different than I remembered. The areas I used to fish were now 5-8 ft deeper. A lot of the vegetation was totally different. Access to areas long overgrown were open ...

Took off to Lake Poway mostly on an exploratory mission and to get a few hours of fishing in from shore. I had not been up to Lake
Poway for a very long time and figured I would go take a look. I did expect a few trout fishermen but never expected so many of
them on a Thursday morning. It was ...
