San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Its possible and I have legitimately clicked each one but let me tell you it takes the whole day of seriously wide-open fishing to actually get to 100. It’s not possible with most baits so keep that in mind. You’re not catching 100 on a senko the time it takes to sink a senko prohibits this.

It’s ...

But who's posting fake reports?

I remember when the lottery system existed, 100 fish days were common. I believe they can still happen.
Yes, I’m talking more about the opener report vs big numbers. Guy had pics from different lakes, pics from a post a year ago and multiple pics all with a different hat, facial hair etc. if you ...

Geecrack bellows gill 3.8", weightless t-rig - green pumpkin and summer gill were getting hit pretty regularly for me last year around laydowns and submerged grass


How you like those geecrack? I been meaning to try those for a while now but haven't pull the trigger i know ecbt now carry them ...

Why keep editing the same photos from different years? Too funny!!!!!! Maybe delete last year’s photos from your Barrett report in 2024 and your opener report may be more believable- NOT

So after reading the fake report, I am laughing, because I too wonder what the point of that was. There is a now defunct message board, where years ago, people would post fake reports to get people away from their bites and lakes. Back in the day, people would lurk message boards and if 2 or 3 ...

That’s what happens when @VinnyBass posts a hot bite a Murray. Lake is loaded next day. He’s even enticed me to go see haha


I'm certain that I'm more likely to find DB Cooper or catch a marlin at Barrett than I am to catch a bass over 14" at Murray lol. I find it remarkably impressive that ...

Maybe an odd question, but do you count your fish? If so, why?

I primarily fish with my 9-year-old son Theo, and like a lot of you, we’ve made a habit of counting how many fish we catch. It started simply enough — it’s not hard to remember 4 fish days —but as we’ve improved, I’m happy to say that ...

Thanks for the feedback guys! I’m going to approach as mini-competition count days, and other days when I want to explore new areas and new techniques not worrying about fish counts. I think there is definitely fun to be had with both approaches.

Everyone that fishes Barrett was drawn to it for the possibility of catching “100 fish in a day”. If you don’t count, how will you know if you achieved that magic number? I do it for fun just to see if I could beat my personal best. Numbers as well as weight.

I did post a picture of some freshly made shad recently. I found 3 separate groups in the shallows, all very tiny, but good size schools.

@jwall you might have me there — maybe I’m just frustrated because Theo el Machino’s counts are blowing mine away these days. In my defense, I was only counting lipped fish and someone has to drive the boat! I may sabotage his gear to level the playing field. Shhhhh…

You don't have to be competing to count fish. I like knowing how many I catch in any situation. I will often fish new lures or techniques regardless of the count just to see what works since that is how one gets better. And I count fish no matter whether I am fishing with others or alone. But you ...

You're obviously not supposed to bring your own outboard powered aluminum craft and add an extra boat to the lake. People have bent the meaning of "float tube/kayak" real far at this point. What a legitimate kayak can do has also changed a ton since the old days though. You can easily sink 20k into ...

Ok so this was a test ... I have gone a full day and half of non stop trolling on a 100mh with a 55lbs trolling motor.. yesterday I tested the same set up from parking lot to pines and back zig zag threw the lake really trying to kill the battery and it made it with some life left on it....

Where and how do shad spawn? Never really seen it before. And what do the fry look like?


They’ll hump on the side of your boat, your kayak, your tube, your legs and fins. Pretty much anywhere they feel like it!


Like StinkyPinky23 said you see it, you feel it and you feel used. Fry look ...
