So I’m Fishing tomorrow and the forecast is kinda cold. Both high and low temps dropping 10 to 15 degrees from today. My last trip, the Bass were in 0-2 feet of water and busting my weedless Topwater. What is the general consensus for tomorrow. I imagine the Bass will drop out to the outside edges ...

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


What size Yamatanuki? The little 2.5” guys are great on a weedless Ned head and as a Jig trailer. The 3.5” size I think would fish terrific as a backglide like the Ika.


I bought the 2.5’s dark ...

Are you guys trying to make me go broke?
Talking about some cool bait that I’m gonna have to probably order some on tackle warehouse now that you are talking about it………ha ha

You know I’m ...

Most of you know I fish Murray 3-4 days per week. I am retired and I go there after dropping the kids off at school. I fish until it's time to pick them up and head home.

I've been averaging 7 fish per day almost exclusively BFS fishing. The most productive bait has been a tiny green pumpkin Brush ...

ps I'm in the same boat concerning A rigs, never thrown them, no interest in starting either.

I hear you. I know they work but somehow it just seems huge and unwieldy. Of course I am much more of a finesse guy anyway so...

Note to self…DON’T STAY IN A PLACE THEY’RE NOT BITING!! We started out on a crisp and cold day along the stretch I’ve been hitting and catching for over a year. And why not? Dave got us started as usual with his magic mini jerkbaits and had me down 3-0 before I decided to join in. I swear he wills ...

I’m back from Lake X. Got on the water at 7 am and started off with a Zman Streakz on an Owner weighted EWG hook. I like those, they have s screw in with center pin spring to attach to the nose of the bait. I got a Bass straight off next to a Tree Stump in 6 feet of water. Then I saw a few swirls ...

The double fluke rig is another epic technique. Many doubles when the shad are foaming

Hey Dannicus, I'm with you on BFS, but I am willing to throw a double fluke, you take a 3-way swivel and do a dropper on your main line with a shorter terminal line. It's like the umbrella rig for the BFS crowd.

Nice report. We were there last week on Friday and didn't see you.

I'll have to try ...

My son came into town for the Easter weekend so we headed out into a rainy morning to see what we could find. Only three boats out there that I know of.

Headed to the scene of the crime of my last trip, Barona of course. Started the day out with a solid 3.7 on my third cast with a Senko. Picked up ...

Tonight, the fish were out deeper. Seems the storm/cold front made them retreat from the shallows. Little warming trend mid week so hopefully back on course this weekend. Just a couple dropshot fish tonight, one about 8 1/2” and one about 14”. Definitely not the bite I was on last week. Water level ...

Also - there’s a pair of bald eagles nesting in the trees just east of the dam. My last trip prior to today we heard a loud “CRACK” and we looked back to see an Eagle flying with branches in his talons, they were building their nest. Today one of them was circling the area looking for floaters ...

Amazing Storm Fishing! Spinnerbait Bite Out Of Control!
https://youtu.be/7pEDQ0Hzw8w

I woke at 4:50 AM on Saturday morning ready to go fishing completely committed to the cause. As I looked at the wind, howling outside, and the rain pouring down, I decided to go back to bed at least for a couple ...

Weather finally cooperated and bro and I finally got to take the float tubes out for their maiden voyage. We figured Murray would be a great place to start as it’s a smaller body of water. We launched about 8am and basically just kicked a lap around the lake starting in Padre cove fishing along the ...

I had others plans and errands to run and wish I could have fished today, but when you told me you and your brother would
be out with your new tubes at Murray, I just had to stop by the lake. It was great to see you out there and I have never fished
out of one, but you guys looked comfortable like ...

Just for today..... I am going to save you guys from reading me babbling on and on.
So here are a few pics of some fish I caught in (McFish will be shocked again) water depths
around 25-35 feet of water.
Hopefully the warmer weather will spur up more action in closer. Tight lines :-)

Tube Mobb Big Bass Tournament: Lake Hodges
https://youtu.be/VxR-LY3NWso

Hallelujah for a sunny day!

I headed out to Hodges last Sunday for the Tube Mobb Big Bass Tournament. It was a tournament for the single longest fish of the day. I had done a couple other tournaments with them, including one ...

Nice job out there!

Great job thanks for the update! Always good to get fish in the boat and figure out the pattern. Cheers!
