San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Thanks for posting a nice fish report @McFish. Great to see you out exploring. You even went to Murray recently. I have held back
from posting Murray reports lately as guys are probably saying...."geez another stupid fish report from Murray from VinnyBass."
Your persistence paid off as so often ...

El Cap was a quandary for me early in the year. Have not been back.

All types of things been going on keeping me from fishing and recently had my boat serviced so went out for just a few hours mostly to test things yesterday. I have not fished Murray for a few weeks and since so just a quick report. There are schools of small bass chasing shad around the lake. Most ...

I can't believe you could even lift that monster! You must of been eating your Wheaties...or your strawberry crepes..Hahaha! After seeing your photo, I'm not sure that even I have baits small enough for those beasts! Keep those reports coming, but next time take a photo of the fish you catch..and ...

Monsta! Much bigger than the ones I haven't been catching. Guess you have to go fishing to catch fish.

Not many people have been fishing or talking about Otay. Thank you Michael not only for the report, but sharing with us all those beautiful pics. Tight lines always

Awesome pics!!

Sometimes I am not.

Had a couple spinning rods with me and tied up a dropshot on the lightest rod to fish a tiny, shallow pool in Creek X.
Nyet.
The next spot had potential for bigger fish. And it is accessed from a bank about 3 feet above the creek.
At one point i cut off the dropshot sinker and ...

I thought about photoshopping a bunch of boats on that X, but then I noticed the copyright on the photo and got scared. Great pictures, seriously. Checked out your website and what a nice body of work you have.

I'm out looking for the X....

Thought about hitting Murray(lots of dinks chasing reaction baits)this morning for a few hours, but changed my mind. Since I have not
been to the SD river in a while, I loaded my flippin' stick and another rod(both rigged with straight braid) and headed there. I was
shocked at how high the water ...

Here is what I saw on the news tonight.......

I could have tried free-lining a senko but it would have got lost in the current and stained water…ha ha

Persistence pays off again for you. Also, I don’t get it. El Cap is only 37% full and yet they are releasing water.

I'm thinking you don't take your photos with my 7 year old Samsung phone....

Oh...you have one of those fancy listening devices....

I too love doing art about fishing although i have a different medium .I just brought my Grandsons fishing and i made these for their room. I will guilt my daughter into putting them on their wall and laugh my ass off when she does.

bass art?

Had a great time on Lake Murray today. The big schools of bass are starting to break up. I caught 6 like this working the edges of tullies with jigs and Senkos.

The old felt pen special Jerkbait!

Fished San V a few times this past week and both days had a fun bite on breaking fishing all around the lake. Best action was before the breeze picked up from 8-12pm. Quick accurate casts and small flukes worked on or just under the surface was the key to success. A few fish also came on the dead ...
