San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Healthy looking fish, Vinny.
Why would water be released to the ocean? Have we conserved too nuch?


Maybe we’re going to get a lot of rain this winter and the city is preparing for it…. Yeah….that’s the reason…ha ha :-)


San Diego need to fix their dam so it can run at capacity and serve it ...

Thanks. It’s my ‘THANG’.

That and bass fishing that is.

I'm out looking for the X....

You don’t need to! you’ve got X’s all over the place!

My pleasure. The problem is so many times in the early morning hours, and the late afternoon ones, that you get the great light. But it’s also the time the bass start hitting lures like crazy. A conundrum, if there ever was one.

was fishing an underspin and landed a few 2 pound largemouths when suddenly something slammed my lure and bent my medium heavy rod over and started peeling drag.  Turned out that a 15.2 pound catfish thought the swimbait looked tasty as well!

It was! Pulled me around in the float tube for a while.

I'm not here to defend the water authority, but I may have some insight. I live in a building that's 50+ years old and I'm unfortunately the HOA president. We've got a limited budget and our owners aren't in favor of a large dues increases so we have to be very strategic on where and when we can do ...

I’d agree if there wasn’t ridiculous financial waste, spending and mismanagement in the city and at state levels. Example; illegal immigration costs CA roughly 31 billion per year. You’d probably be able to build a “few” dams with that….

You never know when the big one will come! My 10's came on slow days when I only picked up a couple fish!

I too love doing art about fishing although i have a different medium .I just brought my Grandsons fishing and i made these for their room. I will guilt my daughter into putting them on their wall and laugh my ass off when she does.

I’m seeing that Lake Hodges is closed from November to January, and maybe this is a stupid question, but does that mean it is closed in every sense? No shore fishing, hiking, float tubing etc?

If it’s completely closed, I’m hoping for a few recommendations. Me and a buddy want to try our new float ...

Had a great time on Lake Murray today. The big schools of bass are starting to break up. I caught 6 like this working the edges of tullies with jigs and Senkos.

Had my weekly opportunity to shore fish from 4-6PM today.
Got 2.
Both drop shots.
The best part for me was I finally caught something on other than a RoboWorm or Senko.
Got one on a drop-shotted Yamamota pumpkin Kreature bait hooked once through near the nose.
I threw this one a couple times ...

Hey McFish, we went for the late afternoon/ evening session and didn’t get any action at all. I threw crankbaits, swimbaits, and Senkos. I don’t know if it was me, my float tube, or the fish, but I did see that another poster caught 6. Maybe he was out there in the morning or I don’t know how to ...

Fished San V a few times this past week and both days had a fun bite on breaking fishing all around the lake. Best action was before the breeze picked up from 8-12pm. Quick accurate casts and small flukes worked on or just under the surface was the key to success. A few fish also came on the dead ...

Proof you don't need a fancy boat to catch a bunch of fish!

Some good fishing. What lb test do you use on your fluke rod?

6-8lb Flouro Leader and 10lb braid

If you're going to chase the breakers, you're going to need some patience(sorry Vinny)! I got on the water at 6:00, with a decent Santa Ana blowing. Since I was only going after topwater fish, that wasn't really helpful! About 8:00, the wind turned around to an onshore breeze and the fish started to ...
