San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Heck, out of all the guys on SDFish, it seems like only a few go bass fishing based on the amount of actual new posts each week.
I know that there are slow times for everyone when you may only catch one or a few small ones, but why not share it. I understand there are some guys who like to keep ...

After seeing VinnyBass post about wanting to see more posts I figured why not cause I enjoy seeing new posts as well. Got a chance to go out to El cap yesterday morning and showed up to the lake just after 5. Not too many people from what I could see. Helps getting to fish on a Monday. Started the ...

..as in victory over a bunch of healthy, hard fighting fish.

When my brother planned his trip down here the first thing I did was book a guided trip with my buddy Andre Casey. As the trip date approached, San V was the clear choice with numbers still showing up and quality of the fish getting ...

Very nice report!
Have you tried putting a clear hot shrink tube on your bait. Keeps it on longer.

Sweet!!!! Heck yeah!!!
Great report and nice bass in the pic too!
So glad to see you out in the freshwater catching bass and having a darn good day to top it off. Your report makes many fishermen out there want to hit the lake.I fished saltwater for years with my father and one day just decided to ...

Nice work! I always expect I’m gonna lose a lot of worms and terminal tackle dropshotting at the V. The best plastics are almost all high salt which compromises durability. On a good day like yours I will easily burn through 2-3 bags of Roboworm

Got to fish San V yesterday morning with SDFish member Oh Da Shiz off his boat.

San V is just en fuego right now. Mostly a finesse plastic bite but they were chomping. Find the shade, find the mud, find the fish. Definitely the best local bite going that isn’t on the downlow.

We ended up with ...

You are on a heck of a roll CorsoEnthusiast. Nice job out there putting the hurt on bass everywhere. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing and tight lines always.

@CorsoEnthusiast it was a good morning for sure. Definitely a finesse bite, even though I was lucky to get a couple on top water.

With intent to go to Murray for a morning session with my kayak, I found myself suddenly getting on 8 West and then heading up 15 to Lake Miramar.
There was a recent posting on the SD City Lakes website that the lake was going to be closed to boats, kayaks and float tubes after July 4 for a while ...

Fished El Cap and Hodges this weekend. Threw t-rigged brush hogs, t-rigged margarita mutilator robos, spinnerbaits, underspins, jigs, and dropshot... Could not buy a bite this weekend. I tried fishing shallow and deep.

They bit a lot better for me a few weeks ago as I caught quite a few on the ...

Went out to San Vee monday mainly to test out my motor after being fixed. I found the motor ran extremely well, but my fishing seemed to need the work now. I caught a couple pint sized dinks on d/s to avoid the skunk but I was throwing jigs all day or at least until it got to damn hot to fish. I ...

You need a light touch when dropshotting San V. Anytime you feel resistance, shake your rod tip lightly until you feel it come over the branch. Never pull hard..you'll be hopelessly snagged! I rarely lose dropshot gear to the trees, unless I hook a big fish in the middle of them. I also fish a short ...

San V is definitely the most consistent bite this spring and summer! If you don't like fishing trees and brush down to 40+', you might pass on the V now..it can be a challenge to pull the better fish out of the jungle!

Oddly enough almost all my catches the last two weekends were in less than 10 ...

Last Monday when I was at Miramar I saw a few rumbles on the surface but had no topwater baits with me as I packed mostly worms and craw baits. A buddy also recently told me he caught a few on top this trip I packed a few topwater baits in my kayak. It was a little foggy when I arrived and headed ...

Of all your posts, Miramar just seems bleh. Hard to believe that it once held some of the biggest bass ever caught.


I also believe that all of the pure strain Florida bass ave died off and their offspring have a mixed gene pool with northern bass, that don't grow nearly as large.

Trout ...

Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum, so I thought I'd post a couple of pics from my trip to Hodges reservoir last Saturday.

I caught 7 fish total. 1 early frog fish, 1 on a jig, a couple on Senkos, and the rest on 7" dropshot robowoworms.

Anyway, glad to be here on the forum.

Took a rare drive with my kayak up to that lake that is 38 miles North & East of..........ok you guessed it, if you said Lake Sutherland. I decided to give it a try even though it has been really tough fishing this year for many and for me the last time I fished there months ago. I arrived and saw ...

My little local lake out here in Ramona has been very abusive this year! After 4 months of 1 to 3 fish days, I finally started putting together some patterns a couple weeks ago and today was my revenge day! The weather was perfect, overcast in the morning and a high of 82 by 1:00! Normally in August ...
