San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I was out at Parker on the River and saw a 20lb striper floundering on the surface, went over and picked it up and it had a 3lb bass stuck in it's mouth..the bass had a baby bluegill stuck in it's mouth! I'm not surprised by what eats what anymore!

Vinny, do you have a quality lightweight anchor? I use an anchor Trolly that clips to my anchor rode with a Carabiner. That way you can drop anchor and slide it to the rear. Now you get to fish downwind at your spot. You can let the rode out 15 feet at a time to hit more area. Then pull it back to ...

Original Spot Lock

I really don’t want to be that guy but I’m gonna say it. I can’t get past the fact that there are Hundreds of Homeless people living the length of that watershed with no access to restrooms. It sits in my head that the water is Poop stew. No doubt there is some good fishing in there. There is good ...

It's been about a month since I fished the SD River. A buddy who fishes the river often told me last night that he has caught only
one bass after 3 trips and his buddy got skunked yesterday. I figured what the heck.. and so for a change of pace I decided to fish
it for a few hours this morning ...

Just checking if I still can catch some bass. Caught 3 and missed a couple on the jump. One of the 18” bass gonna serve as someone else meal since the hook is too deep. The weed and algae is everywhere, small bluegill hangout shallow in morning. Saw a few bass chasing bluegill along shoreline.

Decades ago before they built up all the businesses, condos. town homes, etc in Mission Valley there was tons of access to fishing. You
could park around Mission Center or on Qualcomm Way which back then was known as Texas street and fish right off the road or go along
the south side of the river ...

The saying in Florida is: “Tarp-on ….. Tarp - off”

I started the day with a couple small fluke fish, then went a couple hours with nada! I threw alot of different baits in the next couple hours, only coming up with a couple more clones. Every time I thought I was putting together a pattern..I was wrong! At noon, I made a move to one of my favorite ...

16 bass between Hodges on Wed. and Murray on Fri. all on this new little crankbait I just got that's about the size of my thumb. It's an Evergreen PC-5 in Baby Bluegill color. Dives quickly to 10 feet and runs perfectly true out of the box. It's a bit pricey at $15, but I can't argue with the ...

Great lure!

That happened to me too many times and is exactly the reason I fish 20 Braid and 15 Flouro leader. Case in point. I set the hook on a hard tap yesterday and was on a fish for 20 minutes praying it was a non- jumping Bass. It towed my Tube slowly 100 yards out into the Lake. You already know it was ...

It's always a rush when you hook up with a toad!

How many have found baits along the bank in trees in the weeds or wherever when fishing and went on to fish them???
I mostly fish Hodges and it has more fishing line,hooks,baits,hard and soft,trash and used fishing gear than any lake I've been to!!!!
I'm always pulling braid and mono line out of my ...

It has rattles. Great little bait!

A couple of real nice ones there. I agree with the amount of refuse at Hodges. Many years ago I was near the bridge with my mom just walking the shoreline. We saw a grebe about 40yds out acting real funny. I realized he was hung up on some line that was wrapped on some submerged structure. I ...

Arrived at Otay just as they opened the gate, and launched my tube from North Point. No sooner had I kicked out than the bass started busting all around me.

Caught my first 5 on a topwater walking bait. Then switched over to my little deep diving crankbait. Caught 11 more bass and 8 really large ...
