San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Awesome that somebody took the initiative to launch a new site. And a non-political lounge

Stuck a solid YFC on a clouser this afternoon in MB. Next cast hooked a ripper that pulled 30ft of line out of my hands, put a tad too much pressure and snapped off 8# leader. Been a tough winter for me so happy for this fish. Also first fly outing in months. Cheers to the new site 20230410_155742.j...

Cool to see this up and running. I have been unsuccessful trying to post a pic to go along with my post in the Bass area about lake murray. Followed the instructions and still nothing. Anyway....hope to figure it out. Looking forward to posting on this site. Thanks Vinny Got the pic upload figured ...

Nice man. I went out tossing flies today for the first time in months...really hit the spot. Somehow, after the layoff, my casting stroke was pretty good. Might throw bugs again Wednesday

any recommendations for fishing setups for trout? Might check it out soon Mini jigs seem to work best overall for me. Get a light pole with 2-3lb test line and cast different colored mini jigs, 1/16 or 1/32 oz. jig.jpg For mini-jig, is 6lb mono line okay? And any tips on casting it further? Or it's...

Yep. Floating line with a 12ish ft leader. I like using the floating line in shallow bay spots. I gotta hit strouds and refresh my clouser supply. Bought some from Amazon last year and they were poor quality.

I use the same reel on my 6 weight - Show up to Bay Park Fish on Saturday and I'll tie up some for you! We'll be there from 11am to 1 in the back. It's a great reel for the price in my opinion. Had mine 2 years now, the drag has been put to the test and is consistent and smooth. Plenty of sand and ...

Solid fish! Green/White Clouser? Yep. Floating line with a 12ish ft leader. I like using the floating line in shallow bay spots. I gotta hit strouds and refresh my clouser supply. Bought some from Amazon last year and they were poor quality. We gotta meet up. I've got so many extra clousers. I tie ...

Thank you for starting a new SDFish site. I like reading and posting fishing reports and making it informative, fun and positive. Also, kudos for laying down some ground rules for the lounge. It had disintegrated into critical memes, negative social commentary and just plain bitterness. You probabl...

Werf, good to see ya on the new board brotha. Got me some new wheels I can trust, looking to make an IV trip or two this year

Went out again this afternoon. Got picked up once, no hookup. Before I left, saw some bait scattering and kept casting in the area. As I pulled my fly out of the water, a halibut jumped 3ft out of the water, scared the shit outta me. Tried to find him for another 20 minutes but no dice.

Got my best fish of the year (so far) today. Nice 22" vina. Knew it was a vamp when it went nuts on the surface. Fly fell out of its mouth at shore. Also tagged my first midshipman and smallest halibut.
The fish gods like a fly rod in my hand

Great to see ya on here bro. They're a hoot on a fly rod for sure

Whatever I'm in the mood to target or what type of environment I want to fish is my main deciding factor. Then tide, wind direction ect. If I want to fish freshwater, that's more drive time, so I usually plan ahead for that. Most of the time I'm fishing more spur of the moment and close to home. The...

No clips for me. I don't find them to be appreciably quicker than tieing a new knot. And adds extra hardware. And action seems to be different from stock. Angles of a clip vs stock split ring aren't the same, alters action. I prefer to tie new knots and trust that the stock ring was engineered for a...

Longtime no post! Got out offshore today on the San Diego. 2 stop shop more or less. First stop hooked up 1 and lost in a tangle. Second stop went 4 for 4. First 2 yellowfin on 40# and medium large sardine, second 2 on 25lb and small sardine. Beautiful grade fish 30 lb class for the most part. Felt ...

Very nice! What did they bite on? I was thinking of tubing murray next week
