San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I’m still posting at least almost every time I hit Otay, just updating my existing thread with pics and info. I feel like all SD knows about that bite now just based on the number of people hanging out in that spot

Also, look at my avatar, Vinny, your fish is a trophy comparatively.

Hopefully the next vote isn’t for El Cap, otherwise you’ll be in a real questionable situation where to fish.

The people have spoken.
Wishing you tight lines at Otay this weekend.

While sipping my 2nd cup of coffee around 8:25 trying to stay warm, I suddenly decided I wanted to go to the SD river. As I was gathering gear pretty quickly , I knocked over the box of terminal tackle loaded with tons of different size hooks, all types of weights, Tokyo rigs, Ned rig jig heads ...

Perfect…I will give a bay report and then learn how Otay went. Tight lines Chris!

They’re eating the jig down there for me, but it’s been a grind. Lots of slow fishing and grinding for a couple of bites. Sounds like winter.

Definitely winter. But still amazing to be out on the water in December and catching fish without staring into a hole cut into the ice, which I did as a kid...

....golf clap...

I cant believe your catch rate. Insane!

Thanks all for the recommendations on where to fish on Sunday. I did end up going to Otay and met Corsoenthusiast (SP?) out there. Shortly after the sun came up we and about 30 of our closest boats, tubes, yaks and shore guys were on the fish. It seemed that everyone ...

Nice job out there and enjoyed the video as always!
It’s fun to try something a little different, especially when it works. Actually @CorsoEnthusiast the other year told me using Damiki and hover rigs and I was picking up some bass on those rigs also. It’s amazing how many fishing techniques can pop ...

Nice bite for this time of year. Great Video! Is Otay Arm the only bite or is Harvey going off too?
Thanks for the post and video=)

There’s fish back in Harvey’s too. It’s pea green soup back there right now.

Thanks to Jeremy's ( @CorsoEnthusiast ) posts here I'm gonna give the technique a try too, albeit at Murray today. It's been pretty slow there but gonna see if I can coax a few nibbles with these lol. As always thanks for sharing your excellent tips and videos!

Those ...

Quick morning trip to the river and a quick report. Only 2 bites....pretty much tells the story.
Bass were small, but better than nothing at all.

Well no luck on the strolling baits at Murray, but to be fair I didn't give them a great try. I ran into some equipment issues and had to cut my morning really short lol
