California Bass Contenders

The local lake treated some of our anglers like out of towners showing on the locals only water!  While not everyone had it rough out there, some of us were left in need of some emergency fishing medical treatment.  Fortunately for us, there was on doctor and his trusty partner in the house.  They showed […]

The CBC gang head out to Pyramid Lake last weekend for the 4th stop of our tournament trail.  Weather was predicted to be good, the line wasn’t too long, and everyone showed up with their cups overflowing with excitement and confidence.  There had been some tales of guys allegedly having some “good times” during the […]

Good Ol’ Mother nature has blessed us Southern California anglers with a plentiful season of rain and all of us are taking advantage of the lakes at full pool.  We are all reaping the benefits of new water and new structure for our friends to hide in….well sort of.

San Diego, home of many of our favorite fisheries, apparently has a lake with no fish in it…..
