San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

After heading to San V and realizing they were closed we decided to do the next best thing which was El Cap of course. Neko rigs and shaky heads were the baits of choice today. I ended up with 5 keepers and lost just as many with two breaking off at the boat that were well over 3 lbs. My parter ...

20240308_085935.jpg Fished my hometown lake the last 2 fridays and ended up with 2 very different patterns. Last week I was catching them on the outside of the stickups, today they had moved to barren flats. Last week was pre-front, today was post-front, with a 2' rise in the lake. This time of the ...

backseated with a friend yesterday, Been a moment, the lake is WAAAAY up, loooks great. You won't get that workout launching. Water fairly clear, a little green. A few beds, not many. Water 60.5, trout recently planted, reaction baits 0, d/s working ok in 10=20, some at 30.

Love to go back in ...

Here's my version of what Hodges was like today.

Got to the ramp there around 0700, which feeeeels late, but really isn't. No wind at all and light cloud cover. Water temp was 61F. It was pretty well attended this morning too, there were a good number of folks for a weekday. Chuck and I headed to ...

Nice brother your out there catching them..

Great job out there. I’m so jealous. Not making it out there this week. Can’t wait for the next session. See you on the water.

I wanted to fish this morning and even with the threat of severe thundershowers, I figured a few hours is better than nothing,
Loaded my kayak on the truck and didn't bring much tackle but had rain pants and jacket packed just in case. When I got to
the San Diego river is was clam and actually ...

How we miss this?

Your home lake Vinny!

LA MESA— Winter fishing at Lake Murray was uncharacteristically sluggish, but things picked up on the bass scene a couple weeks ago when respectable numbers of 2- to 4-pound ...

I haven't posted for a while so I thought I'd share a few photos from my trip to Murray today. I ended up with 23 trout and 14 bass over the last 2 days there. All fish were caught on small jigs with my BFS gear. They just stocked trout again, and I spotted some bass on beds.

Fun times!

Buzz bait bass #shorts #pescadelobina #bassfishing

Got there bright and early and waited in line again. This time they did open, so that felt like a small victory. :)

Got on the water and noted that the water was already 64F. Dead calm, no wind at all. So the lake was literally telling me today would be a topwater day. Or so I thought. I picked ...

Hey all I headed out to Lake Hodges on Sunday knowing there was a storm coming with the possibility of thunder and lightning. I knew the winds were going to be blowing strong, but really wanted to get out there as it has been a very ...

Hello all,

We got out on the water at 0645. The usual Hodges fog was present and water temp was around 61-62 F. I started along the shoreline and picked up a couple sample size bass ( around a pound or so ). Picked around with the popper and got a couple swirls but again no takers. I had a bait I ...

Most of you know I fish Murray 3-4 days per week. I am retired and I go there after dropping the kids off at school. I fish until it's time to pick them up and head home.

I've been averaging 7 fish per day almost exclusively BFS fishing. The most productive bait has been a tiny green pumpkin Brush ...

Hello all,

Got out bright and earlyish to Hodges. Something like 0630. No wind at all and water temp was 62F. Also no blanket of fog on the water, so you could see pretty well. Kind of made me miss the fog. Water was warm enough for me to poke around with the popper, and follow with the spinnerbait ...

https://youtu.be/R94YP6_E-gE

Good morning all, I managed to get out on Lake Hodges last week and found the lake completely socked in by fog, which is not uncommon for that lake. Met up with Early Release at the launch was hoping to ...

Well it was a long day, but ended up productive enough for me, caught 7 farmed 2. Go there and it was still a bit dark, but everyone had already got a ticket and headed to the lake...The opened the gate EARLY? That's a new one. Headed over to Hernandez side and commenced shore pounding. First fish ...

Caught several clones and this behemoth at Hodges this morning. My scale sucks but definitely in the 8lb range. I debated on going to Otay today as it's much closer to me. I'm glad I chose to make the drive! It was great to see Pourboy out there too. Good times!
