San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Greetings All,

Finally got some time off to get the workshop set for the boat (picking it up next month from Oceanside), and get my tackle set up. What started as the "man cave" ended up becoming a partial "she shed/she shacks." 1/3 of the workshop is for craft storage and Christmas decorations ...

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 ...

They would spend it else where, and blame global warming.
I think it was the Rougarou .

It’s all those sexy street repairs that the city is so diligently working on. Gotta grease the hinges on all those gates at the border too.
Jump the border and you’re handed a silver platter of benefits at our expense…sneak into a lake at night, catch and release, leave no trace and you get the ...

This is interesting. Find a way for a government contractor to make money with these bodies of water on public land.

Every few years we get a few new fishermen on here that could use this knowledge.

Half of the patterns we use to catch Bass involve the bait getting swallowed. A hook is caught in the gut of the bass, making it hard to remove. If you just pull it straight out you’re killing the fish. There’s a ...

This is for anyone interested in going late January , Dave(early release) and I are planning to go back, pm me and i will give you the details.

Damn! Imagine if a window was cracked. Whole car would have probably ignited. Glad your safe and the outcome wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

Batteries are something that we tend to ignore and they can be an issue. I used to make devices that went into automobiles and I can't tell you how many battery issues I ran into. Mostly they would swell up in heat ( The dashboard of a car gets quite hot ) and the batteries would start to swell ...

Dude!!! Scary stuff, glad you are all ok!

DAMN!! Thats scary! Glad everyone is ok.

Damn... I've heard of this but never seen what can happen. Holy Sh*t! Glad your ok! I will definitely take them more seriously. Geez Louise... some serious damage there!

So sorry to hear what happened to you. That is crazy!
Just looking at the pics and the damage done, was enough for me to move my Bixpy battery for my kayak out
to a clear area in the garage just to be safe.

Does anyone have a clue as to why they dropped the water??

Because the city of San Diego is in charge…

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 ...

Square bill: I've used it more this year. The hits are hard! A "running the bank" pattern on any moving bait lure is always fun.

Saltwater jerk bait is more of a theory, but I got pretty nuts buying it. I need to go out more after local/surf fish. I caught just short of legal halibut on my first ...

For the last several years, I would put down the Tokyo rig, but this year just Texas rigged baits with a sinker stop.
I never used a sinker stop with a Texas rig before, but now rig it that way with creature, crawbait or plastic worms.
