San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Good to see some familiar handles...

Below is the San Diego City Lakes Schedule to use mostly as a reference.
I posted this because it is not fun to drive all the way to a lake and find out it is closed that day.
First of all, Lake Hodges is CLOSED.
Lake Barrett will be opening in May(May 3rd, I believe?)
I am not sure about Upper ...

YES!!!! I just randomly found the new site. Soooooo glad to have a new place to connect and share our mutual passion of fishing. Looking forward to an awesome summer at the beach, in the bay, and in the Sierras.

Thank you to those responsible for creating the site.

Awesome - SDFISH is back!!

Like most, had no luck with the site for a bit, and just by luck today, I searched SDFISH, and there it was!!

Having been on the previous forum for so many years here in San Diego, I've made the escape to Kentucky and am presently in escrow on a 25-acre ranch with 3 ...

t's been tough trying to catch those elusive Crappie this Spring. With the inconsistent weather and all of the lakes filling up its been a battle. Plus Mother Nature has been know to put the best laid plans of a fisherman to sleep. So I made the 9 hr trek up North ...

Home pond picture.png So long San Diego bass fishing......sort of

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 ...

Excellent! we should have a "fishing in other locales" sub forum for people who went fishing on vacation to other regions and states, and ex-patriots who would still like to actively participate in the fishing report side of the forum. :)


TaBASSco - That would be nice to have a sub-forum for ...

Vinny was being friendly and simply asked you to share something positive, related to fishing, and stop trying to bring up the issues from the old SDFish ...

Not this again

I was up in La Jolla around Bird Rock, when a scuba guy came walking out of the water with an orange fish on the end of his spear..I asked him if he knew what it was and he said "yep, a red snapper! I said "nope, a garibaldi, the state fish and it's protected..might cost you $500." He threw it back ...

Update as of 26 June 2023 - The pond has lots of large bluegills!

After a couple of weeks of fishing the pond, there is an abundance of bluegills 8 to 10 inches. Also, with the water level slightly down (2 feet), there are fathead minnows, and the bass are still that 8 to 12 inches. I've started ...

OMG..That is classic!
Like whatever you say or were going to say in response doesn't not mean anything because his buddy caught a bigger one than what you caught or are going to catch. ( Most likely it was a 5lb bass anyway that his buddy assumed weighed 10lbs..ha ha)


doesn't matter if it was ...

The preserve is an entirely different thing! Talking about hiking trails!

Thanks for the report, them are some beautiful looking trout

Not a bad compromise to bass

I've done some flyfishing up there, reminds me alot of the Eastern Sierra! Beautiful area..not sure I could take the 6 months of winter...

TaBASSco,

Some ramblings in response to your post.
Some history:
I am a 20+ year ago transplant from NYS residing in San Diego County.
Back "home," where I cut my fishing teeth, we had natural glacial lakes and multi-species river systems.
Moved to SoCal and pretty soon figured out a few things ...

Small Jigs fished along the Rocks on the East side of the Lake by the Dam will net you plenty of Smallmouth. The Green River, right below the Dam is some of the best Float Fishing in the Nation.

Wow! Great post TaBASSco .
Beautiful scenery and love all those pics of the fish. It is like I can reach out and grab one...ha ha.
Hope you are doing well and judging from this post, it looks like you are having a pretty great time.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes and tight lines always. :-)
