Lake Poway is an awesome place that can be like the claw toy machines at the arcade. You'll spend hours or days trying for that one toy with little to no success. That being said it was an amazing place to catch DD bass back in the day. My first 8 and 10 pound fish were caught there in one day with ...

Years ago the city ran the concessions and boat rentals, but that is not true anymore.
Anyway.....Just trying to be helpful. Here ya go.

I only fished Miramar once on July 8 since they opened and had a nice morning with 11 bass until I felt really ill and had to leave
pretty quickly which was a bummer. Feeling much better and recovered from my heel pain(plantar fasciitis), I decided I wanted
to return back up to Miramar. It was a ...

Hey Mike, Contrats on Retirement. I am right down the FWY from Miramar and I can take you out for a quick trip. Currently dealing with Covid 19 now so, it will be at least a week or so before getting back out on the water.

Went to Miramar for a couple hours this afternoon after reading some reports here. A few fish busting on shad here and there but weren’t interested in anything I threw at them. Landed one on a small jerk bait near some tules. This fish fought like one twice his size which was fun. Might head out ...

Have been back a couple times since I posted. Have been able to get quite a few by just throwing kastmasters and spoons, letting them sink a ways before retrieving. Vertical jigging the spoons works pretty well too. The fish seem to hanging out about 30 feet down in the main part of the lake (I don ...

Haven been to Murray in 2 weeks and decided to give it a go since the weather finally eased up a little. Bass were up and
down quickly and mainly concentrating on eating shad. Picked up a couple clones on spoons and then started tossing a small
jerk bait, then a super fluke.
After a bit, I thought I ...

Had an awesome topwater at Murray today! I didn't really keep count but landed somewhere near a couple of dozen. Most were 1-2 pounders with several dinks and the wannabe Godzilla bass in the 3rd pic! But hey, it's topwater and always exciting so I'm not complaining!

Nice work pulling out a nice fish! Things have been quiet, bitewise, for me too this past week. Just casting from shore, but I can usually scare up a keeper or two. All on jerkbaits. Sunday morning was my last fish. Just a few bites since then and that was throwing soft plastics.

Busters all over ...

Here is a funny observation......when a fish report says the bass are biting really well, many fishermen used to get upset and
say you are ruining the fishing at the lake as the lake now with be jam packed, elbow to elbow, and just overflowing with fishermen.
Guess that does not hold ground at ...

Ok...I need to cool it for a week or two with my Murray fish reports.
I have done a bunch of Lake Murray reports recently and they are all starting to sound the same and repetitious even to me. And if they seem that way to me, they surely have become boring to others.
The report: the bite has been ...

When I reordered a Tsurinoya Flicker 70 from Aliexpress (see my previous post about a new lure) it was so cheap I decided to pick up a couple of other lures as well including its little brother which came in at 50mm, (under 2 inches) and 3 grams.

After catching probably 2 dozen dinks (1 pound or ...

Been a minute since I had anything worth sharing. I’ve been hitting El Cap for the last few weeks and been killing the 6-10” bass! Shallow, 10-15ft, breaking fish, didn’t matter, almost everything I caught was still in diapers.

Two weeks ago I noticed that in the front of the lake the fish were ...

I gave you guys a nice 14 day vacation from me posting reports from Lake Murray, but sorry, it's time to post again. I will try to keep it brief(ha ha... Mcfish knows that is not going to happen).
Hit Murray late morning and pulled in a small bass on a reaction bait waiting for any surface action ...

At around 7am, I decided to get another day of fishing in before the weekend.
It was great running into and chatting with fellow SDFish member Spektrum at the
boat ramp getting his tube ready for action. This morning I wanted to start off
with something different instead of fishing my usual pattern ...

Sunday after I was skunked at San Vee the day before I went to the fabled Murray Lake. Hoping there I could get the stink of skunk off by catching some of these dink busters. I got there and launched about 7 and went immediately to the center of lake . I noticed immediately that there were very few ...

If you're only going to get one, that's the kind you want!

So sorry to hear of what you have been going through. Sometimes things in life at times just knock you down and it seems so hard
to get back up on your feet. It's not going to be easy and it is not fun by any means. I know you have that motivation in you just
like you do when you are out there ...

Only 5 fish on the day but all of them were fat and healthy. The biggest weighed 6.1 so took over the 5.6 Murray fish of last month for my second biggest of the year. The bass were actually busting down by the buoy line and I threw a bunch of TW baits at them but no takers. So I switched to a jig ...
