San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

FYI.......I have been told by the City that they are looking at the 1 day/month closure of the lakes. It will be before the Council this fall and hopefully it will be back to where there is no 1 day/month lake closure. Stay tuned.

Greetings all,

Having been a dedicated San Diego bass fisherman since the late '70s, I have finally escaped the beautiful Southern California weather for country life in Western Kentucky. We were able to close on a 25-acre, 4 ...

Loveland Peeps.
My exit point as the leader in this fight has arrived.
The next Chapter in my life starts with more camping and fishing in retirement.
Thanks to anyone who pitched in.
Good things will come to Loveland and its enthusiasts.

It's sad that it's an april fools joke.

The wind/funnel cloud explanation, along with the bird flight out of the water for 20 minutes or more are totally believable. Smugglers hauling fish down in coolers, not so much

Couple from a recent trip

yes. chasing bait shallow

FYI.....for any questions regarding the City lakes call Bryan Norris @ 619.668.2014. Please remember to be respectful. Ever since the "old school" left or retired(Jim Brown, Larry Botroff, Hugh Marx, etc) the city lakes programs have gone to s..t! It has long been felt by the City Council members ...

That is not the first time that has been asked, but no, I am not related. It's a nickname that I got in college. I'll have to do an origin story in an upcoming video. Cheers!

Was on the lake heading to the Del Dios arm by 5;30 am . Didnt have much action picked up a couple clone fish but nothing to write home about. I threw shad raps, micro jigs, spinner baits and sencos > everyone i talked too was saying it had slowed down. About 9;30 I put on a finesse football jig on ...

Good days were almost nonexistent. Just when you thought it was changing for the better..it wasn't! We were hoping ...

Here's a 12 incher I got from Hodges this time of year several years ago. I caught it on a "glide" cough cough hahaha It was never weighed or measured, just a pic and released. The hatch lid is 18" so you can assume the length.

Love to see those big bass! Even better to catch one!

Had a great time on Lake Murray today. The big schools of bass are starting to break up. I caught 6 like this working the edges of tullies with jigs and Senkos.

I came across this report. Wanted to share.
