Day 1- Hiked into Ramona at sunrise. After about 45 minutes my dog got a foxtail burr in her ear, so we hiked back out and went to the animal hospital. No fish for you. 63DAF752-4260-484C-8A26-780E60774793.jpeg Day 2- South bay shallows mud flats hoping for exotics.Very windy, very poor fishing. 1 b...

[Lake Hodges 2023 Re-Opener @chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590 https://youtu.be/PI1Xcsmmngg Hey all so glad to be posting this! Got to the gate around 4:40 and was #10 in line.

Hit me up when you go

Was on the lake heading to the Del Dios arm by 5;30 am . Didnt have much action picked up a couple clone fish but nothing to write home about. I threw shad raps, micro jigs, spinner baits and sencos > everyone i talked too was saying it had slowed down. About 9;30 I put on a finesse football jig on ...

Launched in the dark Saturday at the other saltwater fishing hole. Taking a break from jiggin to throw hard baits all morning. Hooked about 8 fish, took the biggest one home. 27"- 6.5lbs- Yo Zuri 110 on 8lb mono.

Well after my last great session at Lake Hodges I went back yesterday and was on the water to early my old body was saying to me. I wanted to make it back to the structure I fished with great success my last time. It was a hell of a swim backwards even though i was using my new drill paddle i made. ...

Some of you guys have known me and my family for a while. We ALL fish. Well, we’ve been teaching my youngest (Isabella) how to use a proper spinning setup for the last year. She’s 6yrs mind you. She’s now become sufficient enough to cast, reel on her own. Just the basic worm set up. Mostly just dire...

Saturday: 6 short halibut 20+ spotties (I lost count) 1 queenfish 1 shovelnose guitarfish 2 butterfly rays 1 thornback ray 1 sculpin Sunday: 3 short halibut ~10-15 spotties New pb guitarfish at 50 inches A few butterfly rays 1 corvina (release...

Usually I hit up Hodges in the mornings, but today I had a couple hours to spare, and so I decided to head out at 2:30pm – and boy was it HOT, and WINDY. :twisted: I totally forgot the wind picks up big time in the afternoon. And it's probably why I only saw a couple kayaks and a float tube in the w...

Hit the big bay today. Launched the whaler at 830 am outta shelter which was a little crowded with the right side of the loading dock out of commission. I went out in guide mode taking a buddy and his 8 yo son out both of which have very little fishing experience. Needed to get the boy on fish so we...

Heres some recent shortfin corvina pics. I got the SFC bug for a couple months and let it interrupt my green fish game. It was fun, but after dropping a 9lb largemouth this weekend right at my feet, I'm kinda over it. Goin back to freshy. A couple of these fish were 26-27" the rest were medium ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsmDx9C8-s4 Good morning all! I have been wanting to do this video for a long time and have had lots of people ask me to do it. Last week I finally purchased my first new float tube in over 19 years. I had (and still have 2) Outcast Super Fat Cat tubes that I absolut...

Went for a spottie session today in sd bay and saw a dead striper, then I saw a guy fishing topwater for corvina and he told me he caught a 26 in striper last night in the bay on topwater! Crazy never thought they came down this far

was fishing an underspin and landed a few 2 pound largemouths when suddenly something slammed my lure and bent my medium heavy rod over and started peeling drag.  Turned out that a 15.2 pound catfish thought the swimbait looked tasty as well!

Had a great time on Lake Murray today. The big schools of bass are starting to break up. I caught 6 like this working the edges of tullies with jigs and Senkos.

My son is out for the weekend from college, instead of meeting him for dinner, I like to spend the day outside fishing. We tried something new in lobster fishing. We did a noon to midnight on the Triton out of La Harbor, a half day fishing and half day lobster at Catalina Island. Since its lobster f...

Fished San V a few times this past week and both days had a fun bite on breaking fishing all around the lake. Best action was before the breeze picked up from 8-12pm. Quick accurate casts and small flukes worked on or just under the surface was the key to success. A few fish also came on the dead st...

I was fishing in the morning for 3 hours. caught 11 Bass. 9 were caught on spinners.

1/2 oz, I would throw my lure an Let sink to the bottom, then start reeling it back up to my boat. It can't be my than 12 Feet deep. I would get hit on the way up.than I would just move a little bit to another spot. I have a trolling motor so I can be very quiet moving around.
