San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Here is our Loveland Forest Service Meeting. Wish the old thread was alive to add this to it.
I don't expect anybody to watch it but damn it's been a long time coming.
FS Starts about 30 minutes talking about big budgets but everybody pretty much was there for Loveland.

Last week was the last holdout for ice in the Flaming Gorge. Everything below and above Little Firehole was open water.

Finally, towards the end of last week, temperatures climbed enough for ...

Today was the day that I decided to try out a spot that I had scouted out back in February at Flaming Gorge. It's always trout season up here, but spring brings the smallies around the rock piles, and I have always wanted to catch a small mouth bass, especially seeing as how I miss the green bassies ...

Glad you are getting somewhere with this Russel. Petition signed!


It's so cool to see you here, George! Awesome.
I hope we are getting somewhere. The petition only helped get more people aware of the ripoff on the hours.
The situation Is in better shape than the last time we talked. The public ...

Great looking trips. Who did you fish with in Cabo?

Exvellent!

Once you find a good skipper, stick with him! Great job on the big wahoo with no leader too. My one and only wahoo came in similar fashion. Live mackerel and no wire. Deckhand was telling me the whole time I was going to lose it. When the fish hit the deck the hook literally fell out of its mouth.

I like it!... Very cool....

You are living the life, my friend.

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing.

Very nice!
Thanks for sharing some of your adventures and hope to see more.
Tight lines always.

Awesome!

It was suppose to snow yesterday (Saturday)with a high of 36 degrees...but we wanted to go fishing anyway. So off to the lake we went, watching the swirling snow blow across the highway. By the time we hit the shoreline, just a few big flakes were falling out of the sky and the sun would be peeking ...

This father-son team did an excellent job on Loveland. Jesse has been attending Loveland advocacy meetings with his son since before the lake was drained.

As winter progresses and the water up here freezes over, ice creeping further south every day, I have been having to go fishing further south also. la winter I caught a 6 pound lake trout, then a 29 inch 9(and some change) laker, then a 33 inch 12.95 one in the spring. I was looking forward to my ...

The last couple of fishing sessions up here in the great frozen northern prairie ended 2024 with a solid skunk. Luckily, lots of water in Flaming Gorge is still unfettered by pesky sheets of ice, so yesterday I went out for my first fishing trip of the new year. Weather was nice, no wind, partly ...

There definitely aren't as many 8lb+ bass as there was back in the 70s-90s! San V use to have them..then they stopped stocking trout! Rare to run into one these days


Anglers also killed 30-35% of the harvestable bass population annually back then...something else much more influential on bass ...

Got out early at Lower Otay on Wednesday. Crowds were light and I picked up a few bass early AM on finesse swimbaits over the top of the grass. Once the sun came up things slowed down shallow so I went looking for Shad schools out deep. Picked up a couple more 1-2lb bass down in the 40ft range ...

Had an awesome day at Murray today. I got 5 and my best mate Randy got 2 (his first fish from a float tube) All of them were quality bass! We had a great day.

Decided to head over to Murray mid morning and was the only boat launch. A lot can change since my last fish report from there
9 days ago, but I decided to stick to fishing deeper waters(20'-35') again. "It is crazy!" McFish told me recently . "This is time of the
year the bass should be in ...

I wrote a much more detailed report but it vanished when I tried to add pics. 7.53 lbs on a pointer 65 jerkbait! Sutherland!
