Long neck assassins.
From SILENT friend Yvans in The Czech Republic.
A message from our Silent FRIEND Currie Wagner.
Hey Justin,
Just wanted to finally shoot you over some photos from the banner year we have had so far on the Striper Coast.
Things got started a few weeks late, but the last few days have been incredible. Some of the old guys have been saying they haven’t seen fishing like this since the early eighties. Practically every morning during the Thanksgiving break we have seen fish counts in the teens and its not unusual to hear of guys creaming as many as 20+ fish during the morning bite. The town is a buzz, not like the kind we see during the summer months where flocks of drunken college kids are stumbling around trying to get on MTV. More of a buzz where the 7-11s are packed at 4:30am with gentlemen in waders getting morning coffee and a parking lot full of cars with rods in rod racks. Check some of the photos from my friend Kristian (CLICK) of me and my buddies during a late Legendary run of fish. Fall is such an awesome time of year over here, you really need to get out here!

SCI.11.27.11…she ate the triple trout
{From our Silent Friend, Scott Summersgill.}
What do you do when the bass fishing sucks at Santa Cruz Island? You go to “Piggy Beach”.
Rolled to “The Other SCI” on 10/30 in epic conditions with Bryan Davis, and Dave Abeelen. Truly lake like all day. Conditions everywhere we went were slack, clear, and calm. Needless to say the bass fishing was slow at best. So what do you do when the bass don’t cooperate? You come prepared with your perch gear; 2500 size spinning gear with 6 to 8 pound test, and you fish the mini hammer (3” Big Hammer cut down to 2” on a ¼ oz Hammer Head) in tight to the sandy beaches. We managed 12 or so perch with 6 going over 2 pounds. The biggest went 2.5 on the Boga. Lots of fun on the light gear. Put 95 miles on the boat looking for the right conditions to no avail. At least the perch wanted to play for a while. Till next time.
Best,
Scott
Our Silent friend Brett Murray with Bassmaster Elite Series angler Skeet Reese today at Bass-A-Thon.
Our friend Ed Pulig puts in work around some of the roughest hoods in search of trophy largemouth bass. He’s got all the low key spots and puts his time in.
This picture was taken just before Echo Park was drained and had all of it’s fish moved elsewhere. This was the last largemouth caught there before the police kicked everybody out. He said that there was a small area of the lake that had water in it before it went empty, and you could see monsters tailing around in the shallows. Ed and his buddies weighed a floater that went 19+ lbs! Ghettoads! Yeah Ed!
Mr. Johnson from the new Chevy Silverado truck commercials is apparently a trophy Calico Hunter!?! Calico Bass are the new pomegranate!
THE OTHER SCI from Heavy Water on Vimeo.
This trip to Santa Cruz Island proved to be an absolute adventure. New water, adverse conditions and very strong fish made for a memorable session. The Channel Islands give you a feeling of nostalgia and leave you with thoughts of what our California coastline was like in the old Wild West!
10 Days in The Coral Sea with Heavy Water from Heavy Water on Vimeo.
Heavy Water set off on a mission to The Great Barrier Reef with a field assignment from Inside Sportfishing! Fishing with the Nomad crew out of Mackay, Australia…the ten day adventure on The Coral Sea was filled with incredible top water action from the Giant Trevally that own the reefs of these shallow temperate waters! This feature is a short and sick behind the scenes look from the Heavy Water perspective. Be sure to keep an eye out for the televised episodes from this trip on Inside Sportfishing in 2012!
Please join us this afternoon!
Lies a beautiful rock.
The wind backed off enough to let us hunt for some fish tonight…we found a couple of nice ones!

I made the drive South to San Diego this morning to meet up with Afran Abutin and Robert LaGrimas to wage WAR on the spotted bay bass that run things down there. Good tide swing from first light to mid-day kept the fish on the move and had us working hard on the hunt! We caught plenty of fish, mostly on smaller swimbaits and jigs with a few caught on more obscure lures. Thanks for adding years to my LIFE, brothers…

From our friend…Dave Abeelen
Did a lil hoopin with Bryan Davis last night. Didn’t limit out, could have but we had enough so we came in early. Windy and choppy seas made it tough, but first hoop up had 3 legals. 2nd one up produced a solid 5#er. We did 3 sets and we had 11 legals, all well legal by 1/2″ or so. So we did good for only 3 sets.
Decker* ‘We’re slayin’ em! Handful of bass over the 3-4lb. mark, with 15 or so other legals…and a nice Halibut!’
SICK! Technology at it’s finest.
WE want you to help CF stand for CATCH FISH and help in the fight against Cystic Fibrosis. We worked with Afran Abutin from WARBAITS on developing a limited edition slayer head that will not only Catch Fish, but 25/100percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! Our daughter Ojaio Lux Reynolds fights against CF everyday and is blessed to be a part of a generation of kids in the most aggressive battle against this disease ever! Stay SILENT for more details on when, and where you can find these products and join the WAR against CF! BIG THANKS to Afran from my entire Family! WE LOVE YOU!
SBI first, then Catalina on the way home!
EPIC SESSION @ SCI with Decker! Thanks Capt.
