This should probably go to the politics page, but Trump supporters apparently don’t care that he is a racist or that he took the side of Putin over this country. Given that they continue to support him after all that, did you really think that they would change their mind based on the fact that his...

What part 'broke'?

That was hilarious

Wonderful acting.

Yeah, and we all bring monster bass right towards the only big boulders nearby, always increases chances of landing them!!
Har Har.

Congrats, two casts you'll never forget!

I'd go over to Texas Fishing Forum, sign up, and ask them. A lot of those guys go 2 or 3 times a year. Do a search while there, see what's already recently been reported. I've been to Salto, want to hit Baccarat now. Yeah, it's hot, but so it the FISHING!

Otay Michael

Little footage of one of my nicer frog fish there too, getting a lot of 6 and 7 pounders. Lost a dd or two.

Otay Michael

Ah, I miss that lake the most of all of them in SD! When they reopened Barrett it was amazing - glad to see it's still fishing great! How are the reservations done for Barret now? I'll be down in SD in mid July for my daughter's softball tournament and might try and sneak in a day out there if poss...

Otay Michael

Killing 'em at Barrett (East San Diego County, catch and release only). Only got 22 on top this past Wed., in a half day, but was sunny for once, got 38 the week before when overcast, as I did the week prior. All topwater, averaging 3 lbs each, a few 4's and 5's and a couple of Sixers and sevens. Sp...

I'm thinking of switching parties, and becoming a Democrat. Sound fun hating everything in life.. or does it?

Otay Michael

Yep, ready to mount my 11.6 pb on the wall. Finally got around to framing her up (16x16x2") shadow box style frame. Added the lure, the line, and the permits. Won't have to dust her off ever, and can still go out and fight her again... if I get so lucky, she's probably a teener this year! :lol:...

Otay Michael

PS I might throw a jig more, since now I throw top 98% of the time, plastic 2%, pretty much year round.
Might cut it down to 97%.

Otay Michael

I going to learn how to fish from the internet more... I found a new league (as far as how it's now operated I guess) called Major Fishing League. They broadcast every event online (I never had cable, so never watched the bass fishing shows). I know most here know all about it, but it's new to me, a...

VMax Tank AGM batteries, MR137

Thanks -After more research went for this one. Ordered two Thru Walmart, $259 ea., no tax, free ship. Wow, 15 pounds heavier than optimas.

Otay Michael

Lots of good info. My Optimas, larger Bluetop D31's, are needing replacing. Prices getting soooo high. Looking for something fairly high quality but much lower price. What about this. Universal battery, probably goes by different name. 60 pounds, similar to my Optima, which really helps with 24 V tr...

Otay Michael

lack of bites due to 'high pressure'.

Pretty cool though.

Otay Michael

I don't think you understand how science is reported I don't really want to get into this any deeper and don't expect to change any one's opinion either way except to try to show that there is a legitimate reason for scientific doubt of global warming. But I have to point out that I have authored s...

Hundreds of years ago Ireland produced wine, not now. So much for global warming!

That's great, so next time they catch him they can add 'fishing without a license' to the charges!!!!

Otay Michael

I'd only run my livewell 5 minutes every 1/2 hour, that gives them enough fresh oxygen.

UNLESS they're all TEN POUNDERS!

Otay Michael

link did not work, search found this: Said this: "I just saw this information about a highway accident on his Instagram account. Looks like I can't copy and paste it here. Maybe this link will work? It looks like he and his dad are ok. Truck and boat totaled. The lady who crossed the center lin...

Otay Michael

Count to three and catch a lot more one pounders. Count to three and lose some really nice big bass (as they decide they don't want it and spit it out on their count of two)!

Otay Michael

My guess? How could it not work? As things heat up, you don't have to go small, or finesse. When it's cooler still, probably best. I'm getting more on the Gunfish, but slowly the Spook does it's number, then the Super Spook.

Otay Michael

Rattles all the way. ESPECIALLY on stained or choppy water. I pretty much only throw the popper frog, can't have too much noise on the surface if you want the bigger fish. Yeah, the one pounders run, but so do the biggies, just in opposite directions from/to the bait! That's what I got my 11.6 two w...

Prayers sent they get caught.

Wed. I launched at Otay (lake in east San Diego), parked boat/trailer with the other 50 or so there, and started fishing at 10 a.m., directly across from the ramp. Started fishing the frog right off the bat. Didn't land any of the ones that hit over the past 4 weeks of getting exploded on, the bite ...

I’m in the area for three days up From San Diego, and I usually bring my boat but didn’t get a chance to. Would love to get on the water. Please give me a buzz 858-245 0485. For a second, as I came in for a landing in Sacramento this morning, I thought about Calling Cooch, but then realized the sad ...

coolskees

Otay Michael

Happy to hear you made it back in the boat. I fish solo a lot and this time of year I always wear an inflatable PFD. Thing is, how can you be sure they will inflate if it is needed? I wear one too. I'ts reinforced by this gentleman's testimony of survival, thank you Lord, but especially after heari...

When would this proposed ban go into effect? If we all act it may well not go into effect!!!!! ** If you don’t take action, AB 2787 will Become Law, :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: please do so and indicate here you've done so, and how easy it was, thanks. We've stopped many bilsl like this already...

I may have caught this fish in September . Was it caught up near Spindrift ? That's a nice fish, but not the same one. The scale pattern is different, and no two are alike. Luckily you both photographed it on the same side. :D My buddy got two 4's yesterday, same spot a 1/2 hour later on the same b...

Man I think the operator of that boat gets what he deserves. Being at fault sucks in an accident but when you watch this video obviously there is total neglegence on his part. Heard he was sitting down with limited bow view was his reason. Be safe out there guys and gals. There are also allegations...

In honor of the great one, whom just passed away, as he had the spirit of this family (a true Christmas story from 1943). "A week before Christmas, mom bought a new nativity scene. When she unpacked it, she found two figures of the baby Jesus. "Someone must have packed this wrong," mo...

Marc, And if they aren't going to be able to take more water, then why build them in the first place?" The DWR has admitted that the tunnels will never be able to supply more water than is currently available, and much less in drought years. That's why Westlands has cut way back on their suppo...

https://sdfish.com/forums/attachments/image-jpeg.82063/ yeah, two weeks ago I couldn't get them to eat the frog anymore down here, so went jerkbait. Not too good at it, but got a new PB in numbers after 2/3rds of a day, 57. But got it down pretty good, and landed 70 last week, upping the PB by quit...

You can take the course on the CA Boating and Waterways website. I'm sure there are others, but this is where I took my boating safety course. https://dbw.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=28734 As for a discount on your boat insurance, my previous insurance company did not offer a discount for completing the ...

Howdy fellow fishermen. I need a 3 or 4 yr. old Lowrance fishfinder. Gps, sidescanning and down scanning combo, color (guess they all are now huh?). I'll go to eBay, my old LCX 17 (which was good in it's day, I got used too off ebay too) is about toast- GPS and temp. stopped working lately, good for...

what a healthy looking bass. About 2.27 larger than any of mine.

I'd like 'to hear story'!

Otay Michael
