San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Band stuff? I essentially retired from my last band (classic rock/drums) because I’d rather go fishing 😂 Thanks as always for the 411. Man that lost fish had to hurt but you do know where she and her brothers and sisters live. I love having just the right amount of water into the tules to get a ...

Love how those sub pounders almost rip the rod outta your hands. And every photo angle is a postcard

Still a good day albeit quick! This wind is likely going to alter our Sunday plan. It’s refusing to be calm

Yes, so the bay is the plan. But wind early makes the drifts too fast. I guess it’s still June but it seems like our calm morning windows have been very short this year.

Didn’t do zero dark thirty but probably should have. The spotty bite south of the bridge in Square Mile Flats was immediately on with slower retrieves coming through the grass. Quickly got off a fast retrieving blade bait and on to the drop shot with a Z man TRD. My bro was pounding me though on a 3 ...

Love your dedication and road fishing. You have put a whole new meaning in truck stop!!

Look familiar?

You topwater? Shocking…

We are there the 7th and will keep an eye out for you! And don’t say I didn’t warn you about them boys besting you in no time Good job dad

Fixing pics is pretty easy once you know where to tap. I’ve circled the upside down horseshoe (best description?). Tap just that and not on the img and your sideways pic will come up. Then you tap on the pic until it rotates to the correct position. Even I didn’t need Vinny to fix mine

Healthy critters Corso!

Had good intel from Early Release that Barrett is being drawn down for the benefit of Otay. With Otay at near 96% full, I can’t imagine why, but when did any SD Water decision ever make sense?? Well I confirmed the drop today (at least 2ft since Wed) and it had its predictable effect on the fishing ...

Nice report, when i was there about a month ago there was some talk about the water levels going down to where they where a few years ago, i believe they want to drain it up till the old parking lot was... kinda dumb IMO also otay was suppost to be drained a long time ago not sure who is making ...

Hoping the fish settle in to the new lower level before our next trips!!

Get well VB!!

Just gonna say I think that biggun is north of 25”. Based on the vertical pic, try measuring Theo from his shoulders to his knees and see what that is. And yes, young Mr. Reaper is rapidly becoming a star fisherman!

PS I like your rod holder. Smart!


Hey John, I just measured him from the ...

Quick report, Im beat! Dawned it with another Barrett lover Dan and after a slow start things got interesting. Dan got 3 quick frog blow ups in mid Pine but couldn’t stick any. Big explosions tho. I retired my frog for a senko pretty quick and got on the board. Tried black n blue and it worked all ...

Good seeing you guys out there. Yet another beautiful Barrett day!

Why worry? Just crimp em down. Will save a fish on a gut hook and you on a skin poke. And as DarkShadow said, they are sneaky lil devils.
