San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Arrived at 4am with RickM and we were super excited to experience the "new" lake, and indeed it definitely feels different with the water levels so high. Parking was great and the haul down with a battery and trolling motor was much easier since the dock was so close.

The boat ride to Hauser was ...

Late report but I went out to the B on 5/6 in my kayak and found a good topwater bite before the sound came up throwing a popper. After that I struggled for a bit. Threw the chatter, blade and jig for a few fish and finally just started doing a lot of exploring. Lake was full of life and is so much ...

I'm guessing Pines would be amazing. I think most of us are getting stuck in Hauser, when we are on the way, which isn't a bad thing. I'm going tomorrow and I'll try to be disciplined and pedal down to Pines.

Hello all,

Here's what happened on Barrett for me today. Got out in the dark, like you are supposed to. First fish at 0540. At that time it's not dark anymore. :)

Took a while to get fish, but eventually there were fish. Here's the stats: Topwater 0, Jerkbait (Silver) 13, Jig 4, Dropshot Roboworm ...

Good job on the five pounder. Haven't heard that much about the bigger models this year.

Hi all,

Chilly day at Barrett today. I think the air was about 50 or so and the wind was super chilly. Water temp has dropped a little, my reading was 70 everywhere and since the sun never showed it's face, it didn't warm up anywhere. I did Wilson's cove and got a few on jigs and crankbaits. Then I ...

Got to the gate around 4. Gate was just opened and we were about 8th to drive in it seemed like. Had a boat which was nice. Parking up by the bathroom because dock is so high. Motored to Hauser and stopped at a pinned location but it was totally different than years past. Threw all types of topwater ...

Cloudy, grey day at Barrett today, although thinking about it, most of them have been this year. This one had intermittent wetting, not drizzle, but maybe rain-light. thumbnail_IMG_9524.jpg

Got to try out my very classy human baggie rainsuit. If you are ever cold, put one of those on. You will be ...

Thanks for the report! See you out there next Wednesday!

Outstanding report. Glad you had fun. I'll be out next Wednesday too. See you then!

Coolskees!!! Tops on the menu lately.

Hello all,

Short report with no pictures. Forgot my phone in the truck. Doesn't matter since there's no signal, it's only pictures I'm missing I thought. I caught a 2 pound 3 ounce crappie which is the biggest I have caught. He came on a full size crankbait, so that was also a surprise. My wife ...

Here's the details on June 21 at Barrett. It was really a low wind day, most water surfaces were glassy smooth until 1130 or so. Slight wind at about 1030 or so in the wide open areas. For me the bite was in groups again. I got a total of 12. They were on the underspin, crankbait, few poppers and ...

Certainly not the Big B of old but still fun. Like a whole new lake with the level near full. All my spots of the previous years gone and replaced by new great looking zones. Took a while to find any numbers but they are there. Small plastics and senkos were working early. Angry slab bluegill ...

I’ve done it before many times. Just drive to the boat dock and find staff to check in
Just be cautious of people driving out

Outstanding.

Great job out there!!!

That's a great day, nice work!

That was us over there with you!!Nice.
