Took the New Lo Ann out of Point Loma in San Diego for a 1.5 day trip. Tore my ankle up on the ladder down to the bunks about 1 hour into the trip. Still managed to fished all the next day. Water was a bit rough and fishing was on and off all day. Can't wait to get back out.

All, LedHed has asked that I share the link below. His mother passed away on June 6th. You learn a lot about someone when you spend time fishing together. One if the things I learned about LH is that his mother was very special. He is in our thoughts and prayers. Hopefully he finds away to...

So family life has managed to keep me away from the vise and the lake, but I am going fishing with some good friends + my 6 year old this morning. Last night I felt like a crack addict falling off the wagon as I put new line on my poles. Like a kid waiting for Santa unable to fall asleep.

Well here he is at 2 months old, celebrating his first Christmas. The third and final (I think) chapter to our family.

Well whats been up with Baitmaster, he hasn't been fishing much, he hasn't been tying much, hasn't been posting much.....well???? He has been removing the last 30 years and 5 owners landscaping mistakes. Preparing to start this yard with a clean slate and make it pretty! I have learned...

Fish Lake Perris with Mealworm, LedHed and Tim. Water was in the high 40's, lake level dropped in the last few weeks, and the inlet running fill blast in the morning. We fished mostly deep water (50-60 feet), but hit a few other spots while the inlet was running. Total for the day was 25 BG, one...

My jig box was looking a bit bare, so I convinced the family to let me have a few nights to tie this week. Here is what I came up with.

Looking for some advice on a quick dry finish for jigs. Most of my jigs are thread wrapped hard bodies. My usual coating is Wet and Wild clear, but with 3 coats they smell like my wifes manicure box for a few days. I usually try to finish all my ties by Wed. for a Saturday trip to avoid...

Fished Lake Perris with Mealworm, Tim, Nikki, and little man Caden. As usual, we targeted the Big Bluegill.....but the cats got in the way. Not a bad problem to have. We fished 30-40 feet of water with jigs and crickets on UL tackle and 2 pound line. We landed lots of cats between 7-10 pounds...

Fished Lake Perris today with a a full boat. We had Mealworm, Tim, Angel, Nikki (mealworms granddaughter), Caden (mealworms great-grandson), me, and Erick (my nephew). Had a great day with everyone. The day started with an awesome sunrise that quickly turned HOT!!!! It was 100 degrees by the...

Mom came over to spend some time with the kids, wifey had some stuff to do too, so to the shop it went. Getting low on painted heads, so I broke out the heat gun, and oven. Here is the outcome

Anyone ever made a plaster mold for lead pouring. Did it work well? How long do the last? Any suggestions?

When I heard that G. Loomis was terminating the custom blank program, I picked up a S720, 6', 1 piece, UL, 1-4# for my own use. It sat lonely in my garage for some time....well, I finally decided to wrap it. Since this is the only G Loomis blank I will get to wrap for myself, I wanted it to...

I met up with Mealworn and Tim (non member) for a day of fishing, at famous Lake Perris. After fishing a few spots, mealworm put us on a nice pile of fish in deep water. Most fish were caught in 40'-50' of water. Mealworm was working them on the bottom, I was working them a little higher at...
