Very very nice day!! Keep an eye on that carp…with the price of gas these days I might need a new ride

Nice job out there! A little bit more action than Murray eh? 12 bass and nine of them on crank baits…. I bet that was fun. Great pics and thanks for sharing. Tight lines always.

Must be spawning time for the carp. Probably a great time to bow fish for them. I have heard there were some big ones from Hodges in years past.

Ask OtayMichael, everyday, 365 days a year is time for top water. Got my biggest bass on top in winter.

True I catch them all year on top but usually the dead of winter only the big ones hit, which is fine. Certain lakes have already gone off. I did well at Skinner two weeks ago getting 20 on top and 10 on jerk baits. But they were all dinks (see pic) except for one two pounder on the JB. Still fun ...

Some more fun yesterday..

Didn't take the float tube?


Not yesterday. Bro and I were planning to take them out at Murray today but the weather had other ideas

Yesterday we only had 3 hours to fish in the AM and wanted to save the tube debut for a day when we have a little more time. Weather forecast so far doesn’t look ...

Nice work Dave!!

Nice I was there same time and somehow caught about an 8lb carp on a live shiner. That's new for me. Also a catfish and lost count of the bass.

A lot of carp bycatches on live bait. They love dads. One time, while catfishing at the river, my bro caught a 40lb carp on an 8” goldfish.

Interesting. I also had dads fished them until it started raining hard and didn't get a single fish. Shiners were getting bit every cast but mostly smaller bass.

Nice, still fun!

Did I Catch A 19 Pound Bass?

Hey all I headed out to Lake Hodges on Sunday knowing there was a storm coming with the possibility of thunder and lightning. I knew the winds were going to be blowing strong, but really wanted to get out there as it has been a very ...

Nice Report, Thanks!

Hello all,

We got out on the water at 0645. The usual Hodges fog was present and water temp was around 61-62 F. I started along the shoreline and picked up a couple sample size bass ( around a pound or so ). Picked around with the popper and got a couple swirls but again no takers. I had a bait I ...

I feel you there! I went to Poway yesterday for a few hours. Beautiful morning but no fish. Just nice to be on the water. Cheers!

McFish texted me this morning and wanted to know if I was fishing?
I said not today and after finishing my breakfast,I headed to the post office, then to the grocery store and after taking care of a few chores around the house, I kept thinking about McFishes' text and thought...... hey, why not ...

Dude you are throwing a hardware store out there!! Nice fat one too

I usually just fish a Tokyo Rig with a crawfish trailer or a senko. After losing that bass on a Tokyo Rig with a crawfish trailer, I stuck
to it for a while with no other takers. Then I tried senkos in a few different colors as a trailer, then a 7" Roboworm and back to a
6" Roboworm. It was funny ...

Its creature city for me tomorrow at El Cap. Jig n craw, fat ika, and a new one, a Yamatanuki.
