Murray bass .jpg The cold weather and water level fluctuating up and down has not helped the bass fishing at Lake Murray. It has been a tough bite with smaller fish as a reward after a lot of hard work recently. Good news as the action should be picking up now that we may be in for some warmer ...

Why we actually get up early...

Fished a couple hours each morning for 3 days. Caught some nice ones.

OMG! Just saw the levels, Barrett 80%, Otay 99.8% full. Frog fishing here we come, will be epic... again. TUL.

Hit Murray with my kayak today as a cold front set in. The cool air blowing across the lake make me think like I was fishing on a cold February day...ha ha I did not have much success as I only caught a couple dinks on a small spoon and a small bass on an underspin and that was it. I had one other ...

I just found the site and wanted to get things going again. I got this nice red ear sunfish at lake 5 on a night crawler.

I will kick of this forum with the 1st post. I had been fishing South San Diego Bay for the last few month, had the quantity but not the quality of spotties. Got 29 spotties, 1 mackerel, 1 corvina and 1 halibut (18") float tubing yesterday. The spotties were nice sized for a change, several in the ...

9 and 7 pounders. shore fishing south bay. 1/2 bass jig. 8lb test. unibutter.

Great to see the site back up again, and that good triumphed over evil in this case (last dig I promise)! I hadn’t been posting much in the months leading up to the original forum’s untimely demise, but thought I’d post a quick report. Cold water has made the corvina fishing tough but some are still ...

Hit the south bay yesterday. Only a 2.9 foot tidal swing, but the fish bit ok. I got 25 spotties. Quality was good with a number of almost 14 inchers. Caught most of the fish in 5-8 feet of water on 1/4 oz jigs with shad tail plastics. Got a couple of corvina and one halibut in the mix also.

The weather this year hasn't made the fishing very easy. This was from a while back. My dad and I got smelt and hit HI. We only caught a few small spotties, all on lures if i recall correctly. Very slow bite.

Letting everyone know that the Wayback Machine (internet archive) has some priceless SDFish items saved, like the DJThrills piece:

It LOOKS LIKE the SDFish site but is actually only a "snapshot ...

Went out to the Shelter Island pier today. Only spent about an hour there and it was really slow. Caught three macks though.

Caught three beans in last two days, all on the LC. Weirdest thing ever. Out of all the years of throwing the LC in the surf, Sunday was the first time I had ever caught a bean with it, and then it happened again three casts later! 1/4” smaller than the first one, which was 19.25”. Then, it happened ...

Been having fun with the ghosts this spring. second photo fish just squeaked by 35”. 3 legals for me from shore this year.

Hit the Valley for an even 43 last week on Friday. Mostly cats and carp with a bass or two thrown in. No idea if I can post pix or a link, some footage is up on my YouTube channel. Put the carp in my garden after peeling some meat for flathead bait.
