San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Well after my last great session at Lake Hodges I went back yesterday and was on the water to early my old body was saying to me. I wanted to make it back to the structure I fished with great success my last time. It was a hell of a swim backwards even though i was using my new drill paddle i made ...

Some of you guys have known me and my family for a while. We ALL fish. Well, we’ve been teaching my youngest (Isabella) how to use a proper spinning setup for the last year. She’s 6yrs mind you. She’s now become sufficient enough to cast, reel on her own. Just the basic worm set up. Mostly just ...

Sutherland is making me crazy! I fish it most fridays..starting back in March, and it's not getting any easier to figure out! A couple weeks ago, I had a decent day and thought I had figured out the puzzle..but no, pretty much back to scratch! Every week, we keep saying next week, next week comes ...

This. I did all my damage today on a black 3/8oz jig with a craw trailer.

Thanks for bringing up that question as I often wondered how the afternoon or late bite was. Years ago the bite at El Cap would go off late in the day. From what I remember we would fish until almost dark and often caught more bass between 4:30 until we left. At San V, my buddy and I would make a ...

I’ve definitely had some luck in the afternoons recently at my favorite lake. Wolfpacks cruising the shoreline on the tiny bait that’s plentiful. Also the fry guarders making their rounds. Have had success in spots other than my normal fave too, exploring more of the south end of the lake on foot ...

Also: if you’re on a boat you can get to all the best spots on the lake that shore bangers can’t. I feel like it’d for sure be worth your time.

How fast they chase you off seems to depend on who the ranger is closing up. There’s a lady who will definitely chase everyone off a little early, the dude ...

Have been fishing a ton the last couple of weeks since my last update. My brother is in town from Toronto and we hadn’t fished together in 20+ years, so we are getting after it every chance we get.

Most of our time has been spent on shore at my favorite local body of water. We made a visit to the ...

Recently after moving lots of junk around in my garage( while getting rid of junk also), my boat sat there looking like a storage unit. There was junk beside it, under it and on it.,,,it was crazy! So I went a little crazy on Sunday afternoon and moved everything around so that I could actually pull ...

Bass and friends..what more can you ask for? I started the day by running into Ramona Angler at the docks, and sharing the latest tips and San V info. I got on the water around 6:00 and proceeded to lose a nice fish right off the bat! The bite seemed a little tougher than the last couple weeks, but ...

After I caught one on a T-rigged craw bait...I saw a few bass on the finder and thought why not drop a spoon down there just for the
heck of it.I caught a bass and then a few more followed but they were pretty small. It was funny as I could feel a boat approaching and
wish I could have taken a pic ...

There's alot of fry to feed on now! No sign of silversides or shad though. The fish definitely have fatter bellies now!

Usually I hit up Hodges in the mornings, but today I had a couple hours to spare, and so I decided to head out at 2:30pm – and boy was it HOT, and WINDY. :twisted: I totally forgot the wind picks up big time in the afternoon. And it's probably why I only saw a couple kayaks and a float tube in the ...

Definitely saw some silverside activity up shallow early this morning. Quality theme kept going today ...

Heck, out of all the guys on SDFish, it seems like only a few go bass fishing based on the amount of actual new posts each week.
I know that there are slow times for everyone when you may only catch one or a few small ones, but why not share it. I understand there are some guys who like to keep ...

After seeing VinnyBass post about wanting to see more posts I figured why not cause I enjoy seeing new posts as well. Got a chance to go out to El cap yesterday morning and showed up to the lake just after 5. Not too many people from what I could see. Helps getting to fish on a Monday. Started the ...

OK so here's a few...not on subject but seemingly on topic. All from Hodges last Saturday. They seem to be getting harder to find...

The one with my ugly mug in it is from the 4th.

Enjoyed your post and thanks for sharing…not just for me but all on the site. Looks like you had a lot of fun out there. Lots of guys say when that sun comes out at Cap it slows things down and glad you were guys were able to pick up a few more in that heat. Nice job and Tight lines always

..as in victory over a bunch of healthy, hard fighting fish.

When my brother planned his trip down here the first thing I did was book a guided trip with my buddy Andre Casey. As the trip date approached, San V was the clear choice with numbers still showing up and quality of the fish getting ...
