San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I only had about 3 hours to fish, but I'm camped so close to Otay I didn't want to miss the opportunity. Hey, it's better than couch surfing for my mental health haha.

I got on the water at 7am and decided it felt like a treble hook kind of day. I ended up with 5 jerkbait fish and 1 worm fish. All ...

Well, I did go over some hills and the lake is far away as compared to how close Murray is to me. Anyway, headed up to Donald and
Kiefer's lake where McFish and Fisheromen were already out on the water. I quickly headed over to work an area where McFish was
and it seemed within no time he had a ...

Fun day today, glad you could make it up! Today was one of those days where everything lined up for me! It's been awhile since I had a 30 fish day..they sure are fun! The pattern was the opposite of what it was 2 weeks ago, you never know! Next time you come up, I'm giving you a sedative...you work ...

Got a free rental for paying 5 today started beginning Harvey both my buddy and I hooked up 3 each all solid 2 pounders had to weigh nicest one to make sure fat belly’s were nicer fish for most part wind made it difficult to fish anywhere but we still managed at least a dozen each my buddy found ...

Nice job!
Not easy to fish in the wind with a rental boat, but you guys did pretty darn good.
What is a free boat rental for paying for 5?
Thanks for sharing and tight lines

It was overcast and chilly early this morning at Murray. I caught 4 fat clones on topwater early before the wind came up and forced me to move to the bottom.

I posted my favorite BFS topwater baits in the BFS section for those interested. All the topwater fish today came courtesy of the tiny ...

A quick change of plans. After just hammering them last week, I was sure I knew the pattern for today...nope! Started out throwing the same stuff as last week, only got me 2 small fish.I changed up some baits, didn't really help! I noticed a few busters out in the middle of the lake, figuring they ...

The last time I went to the SD River(4/23), I saw lots of floating dead bass and only got one bite and was very lucky to even catch a micro bass.
This morning did not see any dead fish which was nice. I covered a lot of water, first tossing a fluke and a few other reaction baits and no takers. It ...

Well since I have been enjoying the Skeeter so much this year, I wanted to go again. Worried about El Caps ramp and Friday's warming temp (I like to fish when it's cooler for sure), I headed down to Otay.

Got there at the crack of dawn, Headed to Otay Arm and got one right away on the whopper ...

Got to lake morena at 630 not a single person on water had the lake to ourselves thought was gonna b awesome tons of cover stickups rock piles u name it water vis only foot or two water was warm headed by dam north side no bites finally started getting bit north side heading toward the shallows ...

I have FFS on my boat and i love it. Even though I have the old 32 version and only 9" screen. Hope to upgrade some day. It opens up a whole new adventure in fishing. When I first got it I did the bait balls and bass thing. Then I started using it to find structure, then fish on the structure, then ...

I would use it for sure if I could figure out how to set it up from the shore...

Got out in the water about 6:30 and there were about 5 trailers in the lot. Word must have gotten out that the lake was still launchable because by about 9:00 there were boats on almost every bit of exposed rock on the lake!

Caught 10 today. Biggest was just over 3lbs and best five probably went ...

Made it out to Henshaw this past week to do a little bass and carp fishing. Started the morning off throwing at carp with the fly rod and picked off a few on a black leech before the wind kicked up. Switched over to conventional tackle and started flipping the tree's with a black and blue creature ...

Best day of the year so far at Murray. Caught a dozen fish, and all but two of them were over 2 pounds. Plus three nice ones, a 3.2 pounder, a 3.7 pounder and a 4.3 pounder.

It isn't the most fish I've caught at Murray this year but definitely the most quality. All on BFS gear.

It's always a fun time when you've got Vinnybass and Fisheromen on the lake with you! DK was in my wheelhouse today! I mixed it up today throwing various plastics and picked up 31 fish, mostly the clone variety...but fun, fun, fun! Mr. Vinny always inspires me to throw different baits, since he is ...

31 on a San Diego lake and the admiration of Vinny is something to be proud of.
