I fished Saturday at El Capitan in my new float tube. It's pretty amazing on the water. Fastest I've ever seen because of it's design. I was worried that it might get really hot being black, but honestly, I really didn't notice any difference over my other tube on the water. I was so anxious to get ...

Went to Murray as it got hot very quick(the weather I mean). I messed around with breaking bass that almost all of them were pretty small. Same story as they are feeding on shad and that is what they want. I tried baits that in the past were a sure thing which gets me pretty frustrated when they don ...

Flipped a coin and just decided to just take a couple rods down to the SD River for a a short shore section before the heat arrives. A tiny bit cooler with a little early cloud cover, but knew that was not going to last.
I missed a bass on a fluke as it surprised the heck out of me when it hit the ...

Hey all,
Headed back to Miramar to see if anything had changed. Got 1 whopper plopper and a couple on a t-rigged ZMan Mag Fattyz (biggest was 3.46). Then came back a couple days later and got 1 on a Ned Shot Rig (ZMan trick shotz in Meat Dog). The fish have gone deep ...

Hey all,
I managed to get out to El Cap in the tube and man it was eerie! No boats on there was awesome and horrible at the same time. I know that we all understand the lakes situation but I am going to make lemonade while lemons are in season.

I started off throwing ...

Had a really fun day at El Cap with Chris ( Pourboy ) and his friend Brad. Final count was 17. One jig fish, and everything else was topwater. A few dinks but most were 1-2 pound clones with 3 of them over 3 lbs.

They weren't busting aggressively, but I was just casting around in the coves and they ...

I must admit I was pretty blessed just the last few months at the SD River. Besides some clones, I have picked up a number of 4's, a 5.50lb, a 6.25lb and one bass just a few ounces under 7lbs. Lately, reality has set in and it has been tougher as I have picked up mostly small bass and a few other ...

Hit Murray with my buddy Joe this morning. The surface was basically dead as did not see any busters so it was soon worm time. Using a variety of worms, creature baits, flukes. etc., we picked up some clones here as there as it was a little later morning bite. Missed a few bites comes along with the ...

Hey all!

I did make it out on the last weekend at Hodges for the season. I was surprised to see a good number of people at the gate at opening. I had heard that it was slow lately but had to get out one more time. I got my first bite within 5 minutes of fishing on a ...

Best one in a while...and it was an adventure.

Bit of a long story, but I have to share.

So hooked this girl on the far side of the small opening and the fight was on...she even jumped a couple times and then...she got tangled in a patch of tulles and was completely stuck. What to do? Tried all ...

That's exactly the wind forecast windy.com gave for the area on Tuesday. Picking up for a bit mid morning and then back to 3 kt or less. I know because I was planning on going and this crazy little thing called work got in the way=( No one will ever lay on their death bed and say I wish I would have ...

Nice. Great report brother. I think I'll head to Otay Sunday.

Ok, see you there.

Remember time change tomm c u guys at ramp

Good to see you out whacking some Public Bass. They are the same fish, just hit harder from above. A little refined technique and you are Yaking Bass with the best of them. See you on the water…

Was great to see you guys out there great job I was thinking about throwing topwater but was so confident in magic swimmer

Always such a pleasure to be out there fishing with you fine gents. My final count was 5 on a combination of topwater and jigs. It certainly was a beautiful day.

Awesome! I’m at the gas pump right now and heading down.

Always a pleasure fishing with you guys! It’s slowed down the last couple trips out for me, but getting out with friends is always a good time.
