San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

It happens to all of us. One of my last trips there, my Son was backing in the boat and it let it slip out of my hand and it was just floating in front of the launch ramp at 6 AM. It was turned sideways and blocking everyone from launching. Felt so bad and dumb.

As for the wheel. just wait a few ...

Went back to the well at my current favorite lake in San Diego County looking to take advantage of the hot springtime bite that has been going on. The video is compilation of my last 2 trips out there, one in the boat and one walking and wading. Had 7-8 fish per trip with plenty of 2-4lb footballs ...

Got to the lake early water level normal today fished around the toulies in yak w a friend w both got 7 or 8 clones each was fun nothing great buddy’s r yaking Miramar again tomm I don’t have time to yak I have couple hours midday to kill so gonna try shore there maybe get lucky

Well I took my car to mechanic for oil leak so I took a break all week got to cap early 530 this morning no yak on foot I decided to fish the rock pile next to ramp boats still launching water level hasn’t dropped much 👍 was the right move I got 6 in first hour then I decided to cover ground wasn’t ...

Classic D.K..! If you want the better fish, you have to be on the rock piles or the trees! Even better is where the trees meet the rocks! The down side, I lost at least 4 nice fish and re-tied alot of leaders. I probably shredded at least 30' of leader material! If you just want sheer numbers of ...

First day back from vacay. Hit Murray as the gate opened. Caught perhaps a dozen but all were of the smaller dinks and clones variety. About half of them were topwater, and the rest all came courtesy of small crankbaits.

Like I said, nothing big, but it felt great to get back on San Diego water. It ...

Fished here this afternoon for the 1st time ever. Miramar gate was closed. 1st Tuesday. Had to audible, Murray it was.
No idea where was good, just got out and hit the cove across the way from the launch ramp. I seen some 4/5# cruising but they ignored or scared away from baits. Pretty tough go ...

Got to Murray around 7:30 am, which is a pretty late start but still managed to have fun picking up some on top. Nothing real big but always fun to watch them hit your bait on top of the water. Bass are feeding on shad all over and it has been a challenge at times even throwing right onto boils and ...

So tried something little different today brought my dad on back of kayak so tandem fishing and not sinking was the plan was fun mostly I believe today was learning curve rockpile where I usually go had biting fish early we moved around after a while cruzing showed my dad how a yak w troller is he ...

I hit my home lake today, not sure I've ever fished on the 4th of July...but it was well worth it! I was on the water before sunrise and Fisheromen was already into fish! We headed over to an area we got fish last week and it was on! Before 7:00, I already had 18 fish...and I'm thinking Fisheromen ...

I was there pretty early as well, got close to a 25# bag before 730am, good times
Happy 4th

Yep..D.K....it's hard to have a better couple hours than those first few hours today! Too bad we didn't have any cloud cover, it could of gone on for hours! 25lbs..impressive!

Definitely a session to remember! I had 15 in the same 7:00 time frame! One particularly frustrating thing happened. Even though I use a short mono leader on my Gunfish Rig, the trebles got thoroughly tangled in my 8 lb braid! I did not want to take time to tie a new leader with fish crashing ...

If this is where I think it was, there was a boat on the water, lol. Heard a bit of commotion about it several times by multiple visitors

I think I was the first to inquire about the boat...was told the holiday voided the no boats on fridays rule...so coming straight from The Man, I can't argue ...

Wow!….Great job out there!
Morning fireworks when it involves pulling
in lots of bass sound a like a blast. Glad
you decided to take a chance and fish on
a day(holiday)that many guys don’t.
It must’ve been pretty quiet on the lake with you and @Fisheromen catching bass with me 38 miles away ha ha ...

You guys have certainly mastered that lake. It's been a pleasure watching you work it when I've had the opportunity to come out when you are there.

Got to el cap a little later then expected with dead battery couldn’t find battery charger jump from other car wouldn’t work took battery outta other car got my car going took a little over hour left my house at 545 for cap w dad on yak 2nd time around got better idea headed for rockpile middle lake ...

Got on the lake just before sunrise. Almost immediately I saw bass start busting across from the dock under the power lines area.

I kicked over and started throwing walking baits. Picked up maybe a dozen between the small Sammy, and Gunfish. Nothing over 2 lbs though, and nothing picture worthy ...

Nice job, watch out if on a boat, kayak, or tube, I had some golfers t off towards me, almost hit me on the yak. They jumped in there carr and took off fast right after. I'm sure it happens quite a bit

Yep, that's a thing... Having grown up a few blocks from Murray and having played that course ...

Had a great day at Miramar yesterday. My buddy and I ended up with 30 fish total with a 4 and a 3.15# which we were pretty happy about. We lost 3 more that jumped at least once and were in that weight class. Also had a double hook-up which is always awesome! I can't remember a time when these fish ...

Final count was 13 with three of them over 3 pounds, one over 4 pounds and the best was a 6.2 pounder.

All fish were courtesy of a jig. I tried throwing a walking bait numerous times and had only one bite which came unbuttoned. The topwater action never really got going that I saw.

It was great ...
