San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

What's up guys. The 2nd edition of my trucking and fishing video's. On this one I had a lot more planned but time constraints didn't work out. But I did manage to have time for some fishing under the I-10 bridge over the Colorado River( Az side). I didn't expect much but was happy to catch some ...

Not too good. I had some small bass and bluegill go for my fly, but nothing stuck. I only had an hour to work with and it was my first time fly fishing freshwater locally in a LONG time.


I haven't fly fished since I left Colorado (where are grew up) back in 1982. I've often thought about taking ...

Percent Full is 84.5%
Water Temp was 79.3 (first light) 79.8 (noon)
Early morning boils on the main lake then get really hot around 11:00

Loaded my kayak up and hit Lake Miramar on Monday. It was overcast, the water was high and caught my first bass on top
which was a nice start. I started to catch bass on a topwater bait and in between a few bass that could not find my treble hooks.
Anyway everything was going well as I began to ...

Haven’t been on SDfish too much lately but I decided to post this catch. I was planning on taking out the kayak but didn’t want to go through the hassle of loading it up so instead, I went on the bank. I saw some fish busting so I decided to throw a small 2.8 Keitech on an underspin. I got caught on ...

Had a 16 fish day today at Otay. Walking baits, poppers, jerk and crankbaits all produced. Even picked up a few worm fish after it got hot. All in all a beautiful Saturday morning.

Was out and set up by 6:00 am. I figured I'd hit the Straits since i haven't fished that portion of the lake in awhile. The lake has dropped another couple of feet I reckon by the looks of things. The straits looked more like a mud flat as i started on the north side . I All those good rocky out ...

Well El Cap may have been a grind yesterday, but Otay was amazing today! I kinda lost count a little bit but my final total was somewhere between 50-60 bass and 1 Bluegill. Most of the bass were topwater with 15 or so coming as a combination of cranks, jerks and even a few worms.

It was awesome to ...

Otay has been a lot of fun this summer. Bait is all over and those fish are hungry.

Spent the first 6.5 hours of the day down there this morning and it was a little of everything. Got a topwater fish before I even put my tube in the water. Pulled up to the bank and there were busters in the cove 6 ...

Where was that story posted?

I really never really look at WON anymore, but I kinda was guessing it might be from there. There was a few things in the past that were published in there when they rely on people to send reports in trusting that ...

Happy Birthday, Scott. #droppinelbows

Hey everyone, not new to the forum but new to posting. I went out to Hodges with the goal of catching a PB. After grinding away for a couple of hours, I met another fisherman who was having some luck with crank baits. I have zero confidence with crank baits but patterns are patterns so I tied on a ...

This sounds strange, but I just did not feel like going to Lake Murray this morning(despite the fact they are biting)and decided to go down to the SD River.
I have not fished there since late June and lately it has just been too dang hot. I figured that I could fish a few hours this morning and get ...

Been hitting San V a few times. There has been a lot of silver sides. Hard baits get me the dinks. Plastics get me a verity of sizes. Managed to land a Kitty over 20lbs. There is 1 spot that has been producing skinny ones. Not sure what is wrong or happening to them.

Went for a walk with the 3 amigos. Caught several fish on each lure. Biggest was shy of 5 on a Matt waker.

Well it has been a while since I posted but thought I would throw up a collection of fish from a few different outings to my favorite local piece of water...so here they are, in mo particular order...actually they are chronological (most recent on the bottom...)

Haven been to Murray in 2 weeks and decided to give it a go since the weather finally eased up a little. Bass were up and
down quickly and mainly concentrating on eating shad. Picked up a couple clones on spoons and then started tossing a small
jerk bait, then a super fluke.
After a bit, I thought I ...
