Comeback kids Rick and Bobby join us to talk about their fourth-quarter performance at the BBT Mother Lode Region opener at Don Pedro. 70+ degree days and a little breeze make for uncharacteristic winter fishing and these two took advantage.

Crazy warm winter weather has the bite all funky throughout California. Christian discusses what he's doing to find them at Cachuma, including using his hand-poured baits and when to switch it up to reaction when the bite gets tough.

The Ed Lacy Memorial tournament is coming up, we talk about it. Also, the bite on Pedro and Melones continues to be fair, while McClure is still tough. Tournaments are upon us, but winning weights are lower than usual.

January, post-front bluebird day, shallow... throw a spinnerbait, of course! Mark and I got out on Berryessa this weekend and junk fished for a few decent ones. He joins us to talk about finding confidence and going against the grain, among other things.

Fred joins us to talk about the grind on Casitas, the abuse a bass guide's boat takes and a brief impromptu history of big bass in SoCal. We were all over the place, and it was fun. #fredklinshawfishing
