San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Rumor has it, it fishes well all times of the year. Rumor has it, rattle trap can be deadly in the back of houser in the stick ups in late winter, early spring. Also slow rolled crank baits

A friend that works for California Waterfowl Association sent me this. My apologies in advance because it is a bit long. The point of it all is we need as many people as possible to email San Diego's Mayor about not cutting the funding for Barrett Lake. The focus of the letter is waterfowl but if ...

There will be about 15-20 boats out each day with 4-8 of those SHARE participants. The balance being CDFW staff.

For those that are going on Sunday, you can catch them on your favorite ways. Senkos, underspins, flukes, jerk baits, darker chater baits, rattle traps. No top water action or shad busting yet. Lake is full. Water is about 59-62 and very clear. Fish are on the bank to about 12' water.They are in ...

Tons of email will help. When they were getting ready to close the lakes during Covid, we organized CARFA and started an email campaign to keep the lakes open. So many fisherman sent emails to the mayor and city council , they told me to tell the group to stop the emails as they were getting flooded ...

Hope you have a fantastic Sunday session! Looking forward to hearing about it.

Saturday was pretty excellent. It was one of those, 'pick your favorite bait' and go at it.

I will say though, that after speaking to most of the guys there, there were a few that got both numbers and size.

So which part of the lake were you guys assigned to?

I got Hauser, which I didn't mind since I knew it a little bit better than Pine.

Had about 50 or so fish, not counting the dinks that were a pound or less. Very impressed at the average size. Quite a few of those were 3 to 4 pounds. If I hadn't had to race to the DFW gentleman once I had 3 or 4 ...

It was a great day on Sunday. We caught 70 fish with most between 2 to 4 lbs. We fished the very back of Hauser where the water was 67. Green pumpkin chaterbaits with a small pumpkin fluke, Mega bass jerkbaits and 1/16 oz Hookup baits in natural shad, watermelon/red flake Paca craw, texas rigged ...

You are welcome.

They bring me up to get the motors all running before everyone shows up a week before the event. We had 6 problem motors that did not want to start but got them all up and running. Lori was pretty surprised to hear that.

All in all, a great weekend but the congratulations all go ...

Thanks!!

AS explained to me: The SHARE program is a voluntary program that landowners participate in. They donate their highly coveted land to special entry hunting and fishing privileges to the public on a limited basis. They can revoke their participation on a moments notice as it is a privilege ...

Yes, my friends son participated last year as measurer staffer and Matt asked a lot of questions of him.. He was just finishing up his degree at ASU for the same thing and interning with Az Game and Fish. He graduated and He just got hired on by a huge national transmission line construction co as a ...

The "new" motors. They were not new out of the box. They said they come from Miramar, lightly used, and I discovered they were not stored properly. They were all fixed and are all good to go now.

On the ticket master app it shows at the end. Go to events

I practiced a little and got opening day real easy. Maybe I got lucky. First opener in a few years for me and really looking forward to it.

I had the same issue with trying to sort out the dates. Even though I was prepared to grab ANY date, my panic about not getting anything at all did not help in the slightest. After I started to accept my defeat, I refreshed and noticed that a “calendar” tab popped up — I think TM did this midstream ...

All depends if you want numbers or want to slow roll a hudd or fish a bigger glide out in deeper waters. I like to fish a trip or two throwing the regulars at them and get my fill with numbers. Then the rest of the trips, dedicate throwing the big baits. They bite the big baits. You may not get ...

I have had 100 and 200 fish days on plastics. That's just how i fish. Although when top water is working I'm doing it. If you don't get bit keep moving. If they are there they will bite.
