Late start to making a fishing decision combined with 8 West & 15 North traffic, I finally was ready to launched my kayak this morning around 8:30 up at Lake Miramar. Tossed some swim baits for a while and then wasted a lot of fish time going way down to the end of the lake to Escondido arm for one ...

Those are some great catches on your kayak! I went to your site and great pics also!

Deja vu all over again!

Headed out after our set of storms not quite sure what to expect but found several willing little bucks fairly early. Had a steady pick of 2lb clones throughout the day.

The day was almost literally a repeat of last weeks trip. I ended with 18 again. Best five were just ...

Lake, Jennings and Lake Poway are two SD County lakes that come to mind and have lots of shoreline you could access for bass fishing.
The obvious lake that I would suggest would be Lake Murray as it has also lots of shoreline for bass fishing. It probably is the easiest to fish from shore. Also all ...

Very nice guys, thank you for sharing.

Trout Opener: Trout Opener is this weekend! Wright’s Rainbows will stock 2,500 pounds for the opener. Our trout come from a family owned, commercial aquaculturist in Idaho. Ten percent of every stocking is over 3 pounds. We will stock 19,000 pounds of trout this season. The bait ...

I got to the lake about 6:30am, caught five bass real quick, all males cruising the bank, so i thought I would try for a few bluegill.
Caught six nice ones .
I’ll try to post the pictures of bluegill.

Thanks for thinking of me. @Str8t Slabaronies was kind enough to text me. Those are beautiful fish. I have issues that have kept me off the water this year so far, but I think I'm close to coming back.

Glad that you were contacted, str8t slabaronies is a great guy.
We'll see ya soon, I knew it was a long drive for you, didnt want you to waste a trip.

Night crawlers

Thought it was too early for Bluegill. Wrong... again!

A few red ear !!

Dont know if it was the new moon phase or what, it wasnt as productive as the weeks past.
Did get a few, the weather was great, just feel very lucky to enjoy a day on the water had my brother in law with me, he caught 12 bass , it was his best day count wise.
Nothing really picture worthy.

Tight ...

[mod], that is a [mod] monster. Unfortunately it probably died but damn! You weren't fishing for bass with a 2lb setup on hand.

That's a monster for sure, there was also a 4lb redear caught at DVL this week.

Those quagga mussels are mighty tasty to a redear. Redears are growing like crazy elsewhere too.

Awesome catch congrats

That’s awesome! I can’t believe it took 21 years for someone to break the record. Look at that belly full of eggs. I’m sure the quaggas play a key roll for these fish to grow as big as they do.

Nice job on the release. That fish is fine.

Wow! That's a fatty! This new lake record is gonna stick for a while
