San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Been a minute since I had anything worth sharing. I’ve been hitting El Cap for the last few weeks and been killing the 6-10” bass! Shallow, 10-15ft, breaking fish, didn’t matter, almost everything I caught was still in diapers.

Two weeks ago I noticed that in the front of the lake the fish were ...

I may as well repost Vinny’s from last week. Started the day catching a couple on drop shot in the fog. As soon as the fog lifted, I switched to fluke and it was on. Unlike Vinny, I stayed near the tules. Ended with 14. I missed at least that many (didn’t have the right fluke hooks with me). Most ...

I gave you guys a nice 14 day vacation from me posting reports from Lake Murray, but sorry, it's time to post again. I will try to keep it brief(ha ha... Mcfish knows that is not going to happen).
Hit Murray late morning and pulled in a small bass on a reaction bait waiting for any surface action ...

At around 7am, I decided to get another day of fishing in before the weekend.
It was great running into and chatting with fellow SDFish member Spektrum at the
boat ramp getting his tube ready for action. This morning I wanted to start off
with something different instead of fishing my usual pattern ...

I decided for a change of pace rather than going to Murray, I would hit the SD River. It has been over a month since the last time I was there. Arrived around 7:30 and this time the water had a green film on top of it. The river always smells a little but I was there to fish and besides not going to ...

I fed my addiction Thursday and Friday at Murray. Thursday was a bit slower as I spent the day trying to re-establish a pattern. Ended up with a couple of about 3 lb. clones.

Friday started off great with 3 nice popper fish - casting toward the boat dock, then soon devolved into a dink-fest. I ...

Decided to skip a trip to Murray and headed out to the SD river. Got there around 7:30 and there was even more surface area covered with a green film than last week. I imagine that with some good winter rains it will be able to flush out a lot of this yucky green water. On the positive side, after a ...

Well, honestly it is not that hard after all I am talking about walking along the bank of a small lake and casting...but it was hard to me. Been working at the Sulphur Creek Reservoir since my first trip saw a trout slaughtered by a bass. And for a long time I was skunked. Tried lots of different ...

I just saw this that’s a nice one. Well done

Today was a pretty good day at Murray! It was great catching up with VinnyBass ! I caught 8 bass and 5 bluegill on the morning. The bass were all on jigs and Senkos, and the bluegill all on a little 2.5" crankbait. I almost didn't go because of wind warnings but glad 8 decided to... In reality, the ...

I was so excited to fish Lake Miramar this morning. I have a really awesome history with this lake and was super excited to get back to it. I had heard nothing but good things about it lately and talked to several people who had fished it in the last couple of weeks Who said it was on fire. Upon ...

And thought about that as I was working Topwater halfway through my short session. The report was the bite was terrible, from Lake staff and friends on the water. Decided not to let that bother me too much, and went ahead with the plan to get some Topwater action if I could. Ended up with some nice ...

Have not fished the SD river since Halloween which is scary, but been pretty busy and was out of town for a bit. Went down for a morning session and morning it was as I arrived at around 8:30 a.m. The water was even greener than last time and started off working a number of reaction baits(crank ...

I arrived at the lake at 8:00 a.m. after dropping the kids off at school. Started fishing, and by 10:00 a.m. I started feeling like crap. Sore throat, fever, stuffy nose. Still I did manage one pretty decent fish on a jig. Been in bed ever since.

Here's to Hope and I feel better and get back on ...

Otay has overtaken El Cap as my favorite local body of water this year. Hadn't been in a few weeks and decided to make an early morning run in the tube.

Got in the water well before sunrise and was greeted by some busters and an early catch on a small subsurface walking bait. Threw a 110 Jr for ...

Were the fish you were targeting suspended?

high in the water column pushing bait. I was not letting it sink more than a second before starting my retrieve.

Hit the SD river this morning around 8 am and it took just over 2 hours before I got my first bite on a brushhog that I tossed in between
sunken branches and the shoreline. Set the hook and enjoyed about 5 or 6 seconds of a nice fight and suddenly the bass came off. I mean I had tension on him and ...

Nice. Ugly lures that work good make me smile

I wish I had a video of how fast I reeled that fish in to make sure to avoid the skunk…..ha ha
That bass probably thought geez buddy….slow
down or you’re gonna pull my head off!

Yeah....even though I normally stop fishing the SD river in early November each year, but it’s
December....I decided ah, what the heck!
The water no doubt has cooled down so this morning I worked crank baits and blade baits as slow as I could which is not easy as I tend to work baits like it is mid ...
