San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Had an awesome multi-species day BFS fishing at lake Murray. Ended up with 13 Bass and two Trout. I was throwing mini Ned rigs, and tiny jigs with TRD Crawz trailers. Most of the bass were in the 2 pound range with one over 3, and another close to 4 lbs. I have to admit, BFS has rapidly become my ...

Well left my house late Sunday morning and took my kayak down to Otay. Didn't arrive till 8:45, but did not matter much as
I mostly wanted to just get my PA 12 back in the water again. I have not taken it out since late November. Anyway....it was
an easy launch as I parked right next to the water. I ...

After the fish were hammered with 110 teams in the Anglers Marine tournament on Saturday, my expectations were set pretty low. The morning started out about how I thought it would. There were only about 6 boats when I launched but one of them ended up on the spot I wanted to start on. No biggie ...

Nice job as always Moose. That 7lb plus bass sure must of been fun to catch and sure brought out a big smile.
Thanks for sharing and darn good angling after that huge tournament. Tight lines always.

Thanks Vinny.I was wondering about Otay. Almost never see reports from there recently.

Glad you got some.


I was kind of overwhelmed by the water level at Otay when I got there. There is so much new cover to fish
and I was not planning to be there long so decided to just head down a little ...

Looks pretty good to me. You’ll probably get a six pounder next time.

I was lucky as heck in a 5 year span or so where I caught at least 2 bass that were in the 6lb range each year and some
of those years even a few more(thanks to the Tokyo rig mostly)....up until until last year. Since I fish ...

I realize that may sound like a contradiction but it pretty much describes my day. Fishing was actually better on Monday, at least for me. I ended up with a Bakers Dozen but there was no size to them and I struggled for bites.

I would get a fish or two off a spot and it would die. I ended up ...

A little late but still recent enough to be relevant.

Met my good friend Marshall at 5:45am and started fishing by 6:15. 60 degree water in the morning and the lake is close to max capacity. The typical tulle line is a few feet underwater with some bass starting to move into the shallower flooded ...

Well it was a 77 mile trip to the lake and back home.....or was that just a large farm pond I fished at today???
Last year the water level at the lake of Donald & Kiefer was so high that you had to launch up near the concession stand as the
parking lot was all under water. It was absolutely ...

Sutherland opened today and everybody seemed to know. I wrote a longer report but touched the wrong button and it vanished! Not as easy as it used to be, or I am dumber!
Short version: Water is cold, fish are in the stick-ups and seem to be few.

Sweet.

Bummer is just a mud puddle.

Yes, San ...

20240301_061331.jpgNice fish...but I caught 2 just like that, I just chose to release them..when they jumped! Amazing how I had no problem landing the other 6 micro-bass! Don't make plans to launch a boat here this summer, not happening!

My God, what is the problem with the San Diego Water ...

Always fun seeing and chatting with you brother! I caught some kind of nasty cold bug, (not covid) so many was sidelined over the weekend and probably for the next few days. This thing has been kicking my butt! All of you please keep posting, I am gonna have to settle with living vicariously for a ...

Had a serious case of bass thumb after yesterday at San V. All it took was a trip to El Cap to cure that! 😆 Been several months since I’d been there. It’s a totally different lake since the last time I was there.

I have always had pretty steady luck with a crankbait there so that’s what I started ...

Lake Hodges Fishing: How Many Fish Can I Lose In One Day?
https://youtu.be/FKoe7PF1Ow0

Hey all here’s a late report from last Sunday at Hodges. I said out to just enjoy having a day on the water. It ended up turning into something bizarre. I worked down the shoreline and ended up missing a couple ...

Ok Boys. I honestly don’t know if I have the words to describe the day I had today.

This was a day that will likely live with me forever! I can honestly say that I have never experienced a day like I had today, and that includes fishing Barrett years ago when it first opened back up!

I don’t ...

After heading to San V and realizing they were closed we decided to do the next best thing which was El Cap of course. Neko rigs and shaky heads were the baits of choice today. I ended up with 5 keepers and lost just as many with two breaking off at the boat that were well over 3 lbs. My parter ...
