Its been years since I caught a double digit bass. I saw a fish that looked decent sized. I jigged the area for a while with no bites. I grabbed another rod with a slug. Twitched it through the trees, and BAM! Now im fighting a giant. I kept expecting her to come off because she was so big. She ...

A couple recent trips to Murray resulted in a handful of small bass(McFish would be proud
as I gave in and used drop-shot) and a couple of nicer fish on reaction baits.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a few firsts of the year with you as today's trip produced my
first topwater bass of the year. Saw ...

Unbelievable but not. Big government’s reckless spending comes to this. All starts with your vote.

Yeah, I know you guys are tired of my Lake Murray reports, but I tried to make it a little more interesting.
I decided to first try to catch a few bass on hard topwater baits. I put on a little Zara Puppy(Spook) since Dannicus , CorsoEnthusiast and a few others said to throw smaller baits. I ...

San Vicente Reservoir: Late Summer Bass Fishing
https://youtu.be/Ux_Jf_YhsCI

Do you know where I haven’t been in a long time? San Vicente. I was thinking about where the fish and I realized I hadn’t been there since they raised the lake. So I got out on the water first thing and realized I’m kind ...

I gave you guys a nice 14 day vacation from me posting reports from Lake Murray, but sorry, it's time to post again. I will try to keep it brief(ha ha... Mcfish knows that is not going to happen).
Hit Murray late morning and pulled in a small bass on a reaction bait waiting for any surface action ...

Thought this was a perfect photo to show of me flying down Lake Murray blvd with my truck and boat instead of posting pics of small (and even tiny) bass I have caught recently at Lake Murray.
Actually I have not fished much at all this month and yeah recently at Murray caught one ...

I got to the lake about 6:30am, caught five bass real quick, all males cruising the bank, so i thought I would try for a few bluegill.
Caught six nice ones .
I’ll try to post the pictures of bluegill.

Hard to believe that today was my first time out this year. After going my whole life with excellent health, things have gone from bad to since I turned eighty. I really wanted to get out, actually I needed to get out. I got my boat out of mothballs and found that my trolling motor wasn't working. I ...

My favorite Lake is getting over the water fluctuating blues. Had a good day.

Did a brief 6 hour session this overcast Sunday without much todo. This was a break-in trip for the new SUP yak and it preformed well. Started off at the Ski Beach Boat Launch and fished my way (regrettably against an incoming tide) from Dana to Quivira without a bite. Eel grass is heavy around Dana ...

The original post was written by DJ Thrillz . Unfortunately it was lost along with the old SDFish forums.
This is an amazing article that will help you catch fish in SD bay, so I figured it has to be re-posted here.

The fishing in SD Bay is simply amazing. You basically have a buffet of fish to ...

https://youtu.be/QU4PZuHW1qs

Hey all I hope that the new year is treating you well so far. I headed out on the big bay for the first time this year with a few goals in mind.
1. Catch Fish
2. Use old gear
3. Catch fish on a new lure
4. Catch a fish ...

and were replaced with Corvina!

Went down on Sunday to the Cays in search of the usual bass. The first couple hours were slow with only a few spotties. That quickly changed as I suddenly found my self surrounded by bait crashing. Quickly tied on a floating jerk bait I've been wanting to try and it ...

Just a sad update, it was confirmed from Mikey’s family FB that a lobster fishermen found his body in Turtle Bay, just north of where he was reported missing. The family now has the closure needed. It hurts more that it’s so close to the holiday season.

For those of you that either knew him or ...

Mikey’s Song - think we can all relate!

RIP Mikey!

My first spotfin! Red krabbypatty fly at Blacks, 7:00AM, -1ft tide. Kelp was a nuisance and got worse as the tide came in. I did not see any corbina.

Euro nymphed the Lower Owens River last weekend which was super fun and rewarding. I went with the local Golden State Fly Casters club here in town and caught nearly 20 trout each day! I have a 10 ft 3 weight shadow X euro rod which helps me tight line nymph and feel every bite. I only used typical ...

Lots of small bonito locally in the ocean.

Troll a small crocodile lure until hooking up, put engine in neutral, cast the fly. Catch one or two or a half dozen. After a few casts with no grabs rinse and repeat.

If you fish with a light drag this size will take you into your backing.

Haven't seen ...
