Great report Vinny, You write with Enthusiasm, we can tell you have a true love for the sport of fishing. The childhood photos are fantastic. Looking forward to more adventures. Tight lines Thanks for the kind words @stringbean. I do really love to fish and being a guy who loves to talk a lot makes...

Good Stuff, love the Sammy. You made me laugh with the worm comment=-D
Thanks for the post!

There are a lot of big ones out at Miramar lake too

This year has been a bit slower with the bass bite from shore. I get into a decent fish here and there, but the bite has been very slow. The minute you skip a week you may miss out.

I knew it was going to be a special day, first cast was bit, then a hen mallard jumped up on the deck and stayed with me about 45 minutes.,. We had a long talk about duck hunting I told her to stay off that Colorado river and salton sea next fall. And the guys on Noffinger rd were sky busters. I do...

in east county, right down the road from ECBT, theres Anglers Arsenal on Woodside Ave.... Its same building as what use to be Lakeside Bait & Tackle.... Selection isnt as big as ecbt, they do have custom hand poured plastics, Also from my experience Anglers Arsenal is also cheaper than ecbt. ECB...

Walmart always carried live worms in the past. No shiners or craws.

There are a couple posts on here since the rain. “Heartbreak lake” and “the far one”. A lot of new water.

Well for the first few hours it seemed like bad business as usual at the old lake. Just cold and rainy! The game plan was to throw a buzz bait through flooded brush. If that failed, a spinnerbait through flooded brush. I just knew they had to be in flooded brush! Well, if they were, they were not in...

Very nice! I was getting concerned last week that spring was never going to happen on D.K.! I think when summer gets here, they'll be in the brush...if the City doesn't take all the water out first! I never thought of taking a photo while laying on my side!!!

Nice job @fisheromen and under cool conditions at the lake of D & K. Looks like you had some fun and sorry to hear about the one that got away(you will hopefully catch him and bigger ones sooner or later). The water level at the lake has been so high that I thought you had to fish sideways judgi...

I'm new to the whole bass fishing thing so this was my first time on the water trying to catch some largies. Thanks to VinnyBass who was kind enough to provide me with some detailed advice I felt like I knew what I was doing. Not a lot of action though but we've caught a few between myself and the j...

Way to break in the freshwater rods and reels! Some days pros would kill for 3 keepers=)

Nice job out there. Looks like you guys had fun.
The smile on your son’s pic tells it all.
Tight lines always and thanks for sharing.

@VinnyBass we both enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you again and tight lines!

Be careful taking advice from Vinnybass...before you know it, you'll be catching 6lbers!

Dropshot hint: hangs up less in the rocks and brush!

Hi all, Had a great day at Barrett. Water is only 65, I don't know why it expected it to be warmer. Speaking of temperature, at 0430 it was 36 degrees F in the air. That makes you wide awake even if you weren't while in your warm vehicle. Almost 30 total fish today. Mostly on an underspin jig with d...

Not exactly in East County but Lemon Grove Bait n Tackle (formerly Barnacle Bill’s) sells live bait. They are owned by ECBT and I’ve never seen a homeless person there.

Good day in my book!
