I think any day good or bad is fine by me!

At least being outside away from all the damn noise and not staring at some sort of screen is the best, plus you can reflect on what you did or didn't do right.

Score! Going to have to hop in my tube and hit it up if I can break away from the bass.

On a side question, have you fished at Wohlford for crappie lately?

Would be better off riding the San Diego out of New Seaforth if anything

Glad everyone is safe but drunk captains isn't anything new.

Others normally get away with it because they're in the middle of the ocean

So Hodges was open on Wednesday?

Disregard previous question.

It helps if I read it was on Father’s Day

Stickman, majority of county lakes have a certain day of the month they are closed:

Seriously, call the master of snagging!

Honestly I would get a mask and fins and get my shit back

Found one about a week before the squid boats went full ham in about 140ft of water in the sandy part of the NW corner of LJ. As camo mentioned they look like an afro or cha cha cha chia pet on the meter

Oooh damn I'm not one to question a mans fishing areas or style but why of all the days did you choose today to test out a new rig? I know the urge to fish but F the bay fishing, go to a lake first especially these next few days

You can change out the water pump with basic tools and a little bit of room. If that motor has been used in the ocean then I'd suggest replacing the zincs but if not disregard.

That boat looks like it was babied but if there is an hours meter on there that would help you know the maintenance ...

Strong surge and rip currents basically pull all that eel grass off the reef/rocks and kelp too and push it into the shore

...And true black face too

I have had heron and egrets stand roughly 10 feet away from me at ponds and some lakes when I catch little fish that will swoop in and try to steal them.. but I can count on two separate occasions where night herons stand 1-3 feet away from me ready for an easy meal and with that big of cajones I ...

Slaying yellowtail, dorado, and yellowfin tuna. Bite is hot and the fish are close to home

Did the water level ever come down enough to use the parking lot or is it still covered?

Here's a Poway lake special;

Here's a 12 incher I got from Hodges this time of year several years ago. I caught it on a "glide" cough cough hahaha It was never weighed or measured, just a pic and released. The hatch lid is 18" so you can assume the length.

Here's another Poway lunker when I was a young dork back when I used to see Mike Long using an AquaView and waterdogs

Is that the fish Snag Long posed with?


Pretty funny, but no. I caught that at Lake Miramar in 1998 on a live waterdog. 19lbs 4oz. One of my favorite fishing memories of all time. And it jumped 3 times!


That’s awesome. That pic had the same patina as that one that long didn’t catch ...
