San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

It’s actually a fun lake and the bass are pretty cooperative. Lots and lots of clones. With the bottom having lots of weeds/grass so the lighter the weight, the better you are if you use weights with plastics.
Free lining or wacky rigging a senko helps keep your worm above the weeds better. Of ...

Fished El Cap and Hodges this weekend. Threw t-rigged brush hogs, t-rigged margarita mutilator robos, spinnerbaits, underspins, jigs, and dropshot... Could not buy a bite this weekend. I tried fishing shallow and deep.

They bit a lot better for me a few weeks ago as I caught quite a few on the ...

You gave it the kitchen sink and more! You now have your off week out of the way

Hit my home lake again on Saturday 8/12. Had a better day. Was able to boat 4 and had 2 missed hook sets on drop shot and a missed popper hook set. Also had 2 break off. Still a fun day at Sutherland, finally!

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.

Fished San V a few times this past week and both days had a fun bite on breaking fishing all around the lake. Best action was before the breeze picked up from 8-12pm. Quick accurate casts and small flukes worked on or just under the surface was the key to success. A few fish also came on the dead ...

when DVL gets their trout stock in the next couple of weeks, you can shore pound larger topwater (8" Lunker Punker) baits for the stripers They usually push the trout up shallow early in the morning to pick them off.

I was actually really surprised that it wasn’t all that cold. WET, but not too cold. Thankfully there really wasn’t much breeze all day. I didn’t need to put on gloves at all which really surprised me. That suit is an insulated set so it kept me plenty warm

Great fish and a great story.

Nice

Super

Nice fish!! My personal best from Sutherland years ago was 7.4 on the same jerk bait! I’ve caught so many fish on that particular bait that it’s almost see through now

Sweet!
That is one long bass!!!
Nice job as always. Thanks for sharing.

You will always have the memories of sharing fishing adventures together and catching big bass!
You know the day will come when you lose a parent but never are you prepared for when it actually happens!
I never expected so any responses from everyone and thanks for sharing the great picture of your ...

Vinny, do you have a quality lightweight anchor? I use an anchor Trolly that clips to my anchor rode with a Carabiner. That way you can drop anchor and slide it to the rear. Now you get to fish downwind at your spot. You can let the rode out 15 feet at a time to hit more area. Then pull it back to ...

It wasn't until I started fishing lakes that were not as pressured that I started using 8, 10, 12 pound test, and got into 'power' fishing.


People in other parts of the country call 12# line "light" or "finesse" for bass fishing. Crazy, I have caught tons of bass flippin' tules with 12 ...

Epic day! Looks like a big redear sunfish aka Shellcracker

Thats awesome!

This is dedicated to all guys that think they know everthing about SD bass fishing and say things like, "theres no secrets in SD"

He couldve kept this to himself and hammered it for years, with almost zero crowds. I know, I would have.

Nice Bag O Bass!

How much tackle do we have and keep buying? I know it's a ton. The crazy part is I keep going back to the same baits, only utilizing less than 5% of what I have. That's being conservative =/
