San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I started to take screenshots of the lake level reports last year. Started out at 38% in January, up to 97% in July, and now back to 79% as of the 30th but bet it’s higher now. The staff had bets on if it would spill over last year but I don’t think they actually let it get there. It was very close ...

Hit a lake for the first bass fishing since mid November. It wasn't an epic bite, or even a steady bite, but I was rewarded with one nice one, going 4lbs-12oz on the digital. It bit a pumpkin/purple jig with a pumpkin/purple Power craw pinned on. I must give props to Pourboy for that color ...

Solid bass Bendopolo!!

I followed your lead and nailed this one plus 6 Clones on a 1/16 oz. Jighead and 4 inch Sluggo. 7 pounds 12 oz. Took me around the boat twice, jumped 4 hair raising times and had two drag screaming runs on six pound test.

They are just keyed in on jigs and small baits. Nice fish!


Dannicus I ...

What, no sterie strips? 8 Cancer removals for me. All Basel and Squamous cell. Go ahead and wear the sunscreen, but it probably won't do any good.

That is a nice fish!!! Have not seen one like, myself, in way too long! This year!


That bass beat any I caught last year. This year will be a ...

Halibut tastes like “fish”. If you cooked a fillet of halibut and bass without any seasoning, one would taste like a jersey mikes level fish, the other one like a premade sandwich from 7-11. If you disagree you don’t have taste buds. I couldn’t care less about how many people have eaten bass in ...

Brother and I were there in the dam arm for the first 4 hours of the day and the last two. Rangers let us in way early, we were down on the shore when it was still pitch dark. First hour of light was on fire, we got bit on plastics (no luck on reaction but I did lose a 110 sadly) and after that it ...

Obsess over where to fish and what to throw? Me?! LOL that’s got to be all of us. Lately location is anywhere away from the tournaments. I make lists and lists of tactics, each different for every lake. I love trying newer weapons, hence the jig Saturday. More of a rubber worm guy for bottom fishing ...

Wow. The lake and water management in this county is appalling.

Is anyone right now a hotter stick than this guy?? Way to go Moose

The model of persistence! Way to crack the code. Playing with the idea of Friday out there. Thanks for the report.

Absolutely amazing! I love perfect days and you deserve it! You have grinded and hit it hard rain or shine and can take this with you forever. In the words of Falco “chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever” cheers to you.


Love the “Replacements”!!


I’m super glad you got the reference ...

He always plays a great jerk. Don’t think we ever let him forget that

Awesome job Dave You love those lil crankbaits and they produce!

Another outstanding day!!

I used to throw at those boulders from the shoreline many many moons ago with the higher lake level. Keep an eye out for about a half dozen rapala shad and fat raps

Nice job

Very healthy bass!!

Nice job and report! You didn’t miss much in those two years in my opinion. Fishing Otay wasn’t the easiest during this time due to its full capacity and stagnant water stage. I’m sure the fish were there and biting on some days, but getting back to them through the muck was one issue. It does sound ...

The ball and chain just won the 7th!! Hopefully she will take me!
