San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Took a friend to Hodges and wanted to avoid all of my usual shore pounding, so rented a boat. Almost a quick start as I had a "dock monster" just miss while waiting for my buddy to arrive. Anyway, went right over to the birds across from the dock and there were shad everywhere and no bites :cry ...

400 miles, 4 stops, 2 baits, 1 rig. As a truck driver that covers lots of miles, its great to be able to stop and explore new things. Last week, I decided to bring a set up as I often drive by areas that I could park the truck and fish but haven't. SO I decided to film it and make a challenge for ...

Unbelievable but not. Big government’s reckless spending comes to this. All starts with your vote.

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

Quick morning session on the float tube at Hodges on Sunday. Ended up with five on the drop shot close to shore. Three of them in the same spot within minutes of each other which was nice after two hours of no bites. I’m guessing they were on spawning beds there, also indicated from their tails ...

Thank you for posting and sharing the bittersweet day. Congratulations on the big fish and condolences for your loss. At least you still have the amazing memories and now you can associate those memories with your biggest bass. Cheers!

Great story and a nice tribute to your dad. Really nice fish too.

Congrats on the PB And my condolences. Lost my dad a couple years ago. It’s a tough one. Sending prayers your way.

Great fish and you know dad was smiling

Oh yeah… reward if found. Depart Tower Park Marina (little potato slough) head north and turn left on S Mokelumne slough. It’s 100 yards on left in 8 to 12 foot of water, depending on the tide, of course. While you’re there I’d throw the buzz bait.

Probably a very emotional day for you and no doubt your father would have been very proud of you on catching your
PB. I think he was there in spirit watching his son battle that huge bass. All of us that have lost our fathers know how
hard it is and thank goodness we can still hold on and cherish ...

Nice fish. Thanks for posting

Stingray, as I smiled reading your post the tears welled up in the corners of my eyes. As many of us that have recently lost a parent we share the pain and joy of these moments. You can bet your bottom dollar your old man was watching you land that PB from above...…..Some of us anglers fish for ...

Sorry about your pops. I also lost my dad years ago and he also loved to see pics of my fish. I know they still see us out there.

Congrats on the fish. That is awesome and hope it provided some relief.

Take care

Sorry for your loss... Awesome fish brother

Sorry for your loss. Congrats on the PB!

What a nice looking fish! What did you get it on?

Very Sorry For Your Loss!!

My Pops was my Fishing Partner and Friend. It is hard to lose both. The things he taught me about the intricacies of Bass Fishing were endless. The Man could fish! He taught me that you can improve yourself your whole life. I miss him so much.

You will always have the memories of sharing fishing adventures together and catching big bass!
You know the day will come when you lose a parent but never are you prepared for when it actually happens!
I never expected so any responses from everyone and thanks for sharing the great picture of ...

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my father this past Sept. 11th ( another reason to remember that day). Always loved being able to share pictures and stories with him. Definitely feel his presence still, as I’m sure you will too. Congrats on the big girl!!
