Here is Rob working a plug caught fish to the boat. We had some nice takes and had some lookers but not takers. We had some fish on bait that just wouldn't cooperate but it was action and a lot of fun.

I fished today with Fred McKibben of Grace Bar and Restaurant and his head chef Carlos. We caught some fish but it was a lot of work to finally hook up. The storms really messed up the waters but it is coming back. We had fish on plugs and on bait. Bait showed today late. It was a good day on the water with good guys. Carlos made a great lunch and we had a good time. Carlos was high hook today. Sorry Fred but that is the way it goes sometimes. Thanks guys.

Part 2 of my day was with my friend Lisa. After fishing with Al I ran back out with the camera boat and picked her up at Kismet. She snagged her own bait and caught her largest Striper to date. The fish was 22 lbs. After fishing we warmed up at the Kismet Inn over a couple of beers. This is their last weekend of the season...sad to see it end.

Al had some time to kill this morning and was kind enough to take myself and my Brother Flip out for some Bass Fishing. There was an amazing amount of bait in the bay and before long Captain Al had us on the fish. Flip boated 4 Bass with his largest being 29 lbs. We quit at noon with the bass still biting. Thanks again AL! for a great day.

Today I fished with Rich and Rick left to right. We had an excellent day of bass fishing. We drifted live bait and plugged for at least 10 fish and dropped a bunch more. Bait schools were numerous and a good number of fish on them. We had fish to 30 pounds and the weather went from a blow to a real nice day, finally.

Here is Rich working a nice fish out of a pod of bunker. The school of bunker is at the middle left of the photo. Notice how you can see the hi-vis line and be able to track your fish. Rich is putting it to him. We also had a couple of fish on plugs which was a bonus for the day. It was a great day of fishing with a couple of real good guys. Another good day on the water.

It was a great day of fishing. I fished today with Gary Arnold (on right)and his clients Dom and Brian (left and center). We fished live bait and had a lot of fun and laughs. We ended up with about 25 fish up to 36 pounds on a day when the weather made you tough it out. It wasn't easy but well worth the effort and we all had a great time.

Here is Dom with his 36 pound fish which put a hurt on him. He almost got de-reeled. He was yelling and the fish kept running. I didn't know who was going to win. Dom prevailed in the battle and caught a real nice fish. And also I want to mention that Dom did best Gary Arnold with the biggest fish of the day and Happy Birthday Dom. Congratulations!

Here is Gary fighting a nice fish that went 31 pounds. With a 35 mph wind blowing it was a real battle when you hooked up. It was a lot of fun with a great crew. Another memorable day on the water.

Tim Smith and I did a little work on the new DVD today. The topic of course is striped bass and plugging is the technique that will be featured in the new release. We got some real good sequences in today's shoot. Nice bass in the mid 20's on a howling NW windy day. It was a lot of fun and the fish were really hot on the plug. Here is a nice 25 pound specimen ready to be released. I got it on a Gibbs plug on my conventional Tekota 600 and the Rogue 8.5 foot West Coast conventional stick. Real nice outfit and nice fish.

I had a really big fish follow up the magnum Gary Soldati plug in Blue/white but it didn't take.

A good day of fishing and video production. Click below to view a clip
