San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Hey all,
Just a Public Service Announcement kind of thing. I got home last weekend from fishing the bay, emptied my car, cleaned my gear and was so tired I basically just ate and went to bed. I had left a few non-essential items in my car and thought nothing of it.

I got up the next morning to ...

Damn! Imagine if a window was cracked. Whole car would have probably ignited. Glad your safe and the outcome wasn’t as bad as it could have been.

Batteries are something that we tend to ignore and they can be an issue. I used to make devices that went into automobiles and I can't tell you how many battery issues I ran into. Mostly they would swell up in heat ( The dashboard of a car gets quite hot ) and the batteries would start to swell ...

It's a very strange year on the City lakes..everywhere feels like it's about a month behind normal...if there is a normal!

The cloudy water is going to protect alot of the spawners at many of the lakes this year..a good thing!

Knowing that 15 north morning traffic on a weekday gets crazy and going south in the late afternoon a lot worse, I decided to head up to Lake Miramar and put in a little fishing time in my kayak. Knowing that I need to make the most of my time on the water I quickly headed across the lake.
I was ...

Made a quick trip down to El Cap yesterday after work - arrived about 3:30pm to howling wind and whitecaps that made casting a challenge. Water level is down several feet from my last visit and the dried out slime from all the moss is covering the first few feet of bank.

I went the whole session ...

Love the old school splitshottin! The lake turned to pea soup really fast..but the fish don't seem to mind! Good job and nice report..thanks!

Postponed a cool windy Friday for a warm sunny Tuesday at El Cap…WRONG! This winter that won’t let go had the lake chilly and white capping by 10am today. It probably slowed whats been a decent bite but seeing the shad along the shoreline pushed us to throw spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and flukes over ...

I have had some tough trips this year to Murray where I worked hard just to catch a couple bass(thank you for lowering, then raising the water, then lowering and then raising it a little etc, etc., etc.) Anyway...My last trip in the beginning of May showed a little sign of improvement. This morning ...

Just a couple more.....
So sad....up and down water levels... My biggest.....4.25lbs

You can't tell by the cold, drizzly weather..but the fish told me today! I thought for some reason when I hit San V on Monday morning, that I could take up where I left off two Mondays ago..wrong, wrong, wrong! I started flipping senkos between the brush in 4'-6' of water and soon realized that the ...

Yep those 8-13” thin Senko fish in the trees were the pattern for me a couple weekends ago out there. Stark difference from Cap right now, there’s Bait boiling all over in open water there.

Thanks for the report.

Wow, flashback to the 80s..reapers! I still have a bunch, smoke and salt and pepper..! Now I have to bring them out and give them a shot..where's my split shots???

I was finally able to get out on the boat after a couple month hiatus, so I decided to go to San V. I was surprised to pull up at 5:45 and only see about 11 trailers in the parking lot on Memorial Day weekend.

As I was prepping the boat to launch (cleaning all the cob webs off), I got a chance to ...

@Oh Da Shiz that's awesome!
My son and I were there yesterday and got completely skunked. We were throwing all kinds of topwater then switched to dropshot and then to ned rigs and nothing. Not a single bite in 3.5 hours. It sucked but at least we've had some good father-son time on the water

I was at V on Saturday with pops from 7 till 11:30. We got 6 total. From 1lb -2.25lbs. Caught em with spooks, brush hog, thin senko and coolbaits, and had 4 frog blowups but not a single one stuck :( . It’s fishing a little weird right now. Seeing a few schooling fish. But not as many shallow as I ...
