Fished Miramar this morning from 0830-1100. It was pretty slow for me. Caught a couple on the Texas rigged 7” robo. Nothing up top.



Yeah, I experienced the same thing on Wednesday. No top water action. I know the last few years in August and September it was going off. Hopefully it’ll start ...

Decided to skip a trip to the Lake of D & K due to hot weather. Oh course I was bored after my coffee and biscotti and kept bouncing the idea that maybe I could just head down to the SD River or Murray and fish from shore for couple hours before it gets too hot. Finally I grabbed 2 rods and a ...

Water level remains good for boats to launch was a packed house today both parking lots about full when I left at 11 I threw spinner blade neko worm but only for a short time I was having to much fun on topwater toad landed 8 missed a lot I experimented with diff toads early I have a mold I made ...

Well, I certainly don't have Miramar all figured out like VinnyBass , and Pourboy , or the rest of you pros. I managed 6 fish over 7 hours, but all were clones, and man I really had to work to get them.

I got no love at all on cranks, jerks, flukes, frogs, or anything that swims. All 6 fish came on ...

Last time I fished Miramar I got that awful SKUNK smell all over me, so in my book you did well, the last time I able to land six Bass was at Lake Jennings that was a couple of months ago.
I noticed there’s never any one posting from Jennings, do you ever fish Jennings I never here from any of ...

Got on the water around 7:20 and was thinking of flippin' the tulles, but with bass breaking the surface here and there, that flippin idea never materialized. It was frustrating to say the least
as the bass were up and down fast again so instead of wasting lots of time chasing them(most were pretty ...

Couldn’t help myself went to my fav spot and pulled a 6.22 lber on black beaver this is my 4th trip in a row where I caught a 5.95 6.13 and dropped another fell back in was bummed or I’d have the 4th pic nothing beats a drag ripper in the dark

I've been seeing all your posts about the El Cap bite. I decided to give it a try. I managed a mere 6 clones in 7 hours. All of them looked pretty much like the one in the picture. Musta come from the same litter.

Couldn't get a frog bite, Caught them on a crank, jig, Huddleston weedless grass ...

I just glad you went fishing and nailed them on my Birthday. I did my 64 mile Birthday ride, it gets tougher every year. 1 pic from the halfway spot. I surf fished today with a large South Swell for two Corbina and a Yellowfin Croaker and 90 pounds of weeds. Weeds pull hard in a big swell. Lots of ...

My son works for helix and says they put it in and it's to get the water to turn over. They are going to do a lot more aeration at Jennings as they are going to be piping in treated water and want it to flow around the lake.

Took the float tube out at Murray today 8/07 from about 9-1. Saw lots of busting fish when I first got my tube in the water and caught two Dinks on a small paddle tail. Had my flipping stick so I decided to go flip the tullies for the next few hours for nada. It was a fun few hours.

When the water was higher, probably three years ago or more ago I caught a lot of bass flipping. I would flip Tokyo rigs 90% of the time deep in the tulles and did pretty well over the years with plastic worm or craw trailers. But ever since they lowered the water and never raised it back up I just ...

Knowing it was going to get very hot quickly,I wanted to get there early, but got delayed sorting though all types of tackle at the last second to bring so did not arrive at he river till 10 minutes to 7. The sun was already out as last time it was over cast for at least an hour. Tossed some ...

Went to El Cap today, pay at the gate early. Many others there also. I knew going in I could even get skunked. No top water bites, no chatter bait bites. Switched up to throwing DS and texas rig worm at the bait being chased. I had 8 by 8am. Now at Barrett this year at 8am at least 30 most of the ...

Some of the bigger fish are starting to hit topwater walking baits at the Murr. I caught 6 early morning TW fish then it basically shut down. I picked up a few more on a jig pitching the edge of the tules and points. Total was 9, with the biggest going 4.1.

Had a really fun 18 fish day at The Captain today, but I had to go old school to get them.

Started off on top with 2 on the Gunfish. Then I switched to a jig and got a couple more. Then the bite just stopped, so I tied on a pegged Texas rigged Trick worm and evidently that's what they wanted!

Most ...

Vito, just recently I bought a few Gunfish 75NF because of the success a couple buddies have had.
I have never prior to that thrown one that small, but I think it does better at matching the bait(shad)
that the bass are chasing. I have had most of my luck on the chrome colored one.

Much like earlier in the week I caught a couple of topwater early and 1 jig fish. After that the only thing that seemed to get their attention was a worm. So I T-rigged it and caught 6 or 7 that way but over half of them choked it, necessitating surgery. This is the primary reason I find of stopped ...
