San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Hi VB,

Agree on the need for posting also. I work at a computer most of the day ( dreaming I am fishing ) so I like to take breaks to see what's happening out in the fishing world. It's great to see the updates and I like to read them all. It also helps inform those of us who only get a couple days ...

Well, I don't fish the lakes as much as I should. Ocean fish just taste so good=)
I had a good friend (A saltwater guy too) ask if we could get his Granddaughter out on the lake. San V being my favorite, that where we headed.

Got there at 5:20 Thursday, 2 boats ahead of us. They let us up hill ...

Murray is coming up a few feet a day as I have been over checking it here and there and decided yesterday to give it a go. So this morning I dusted off the cobwebs on my kayak and was just able to launch it from the bottom of the boat ramp at Murray. Still quite a ways off before a boat can launch ...

Got to fish San V yesterday morning with SDFish member Oh Da Shiz off his boat.

San V is just en fuego right now. Mostly a finesse plastic bite but they were chomping. Find the shade, find the mud, find the fish. Definitely the best local bite going that isn’t on the downlow.

We ended up with ...

With intent to go to Murray for a morning session with my kayak, I found myself suddenly getting on 8 West and then heading up 15 to Lake Miramar.
There was a recent posting on the SD City Lakes website that the lake was going to be closed to boats, kayaks and float tubes after July 4 for a while ...

Fished El Cap and Hodges this weekend. Threw t-rigged brush hogs, t-rigged margarita mutilator robos, spinnerbaits, underspins, jigs, and dropshot... Could not buy a bite this weekend. I tried fishing shallow and deep.

They bit a lot better for me a few weeks ago as I caught quite a few on the ...

No! Still ugly!! Stinks even.blah blah blah What is happening, I usually do well when the water is up!

Hey fellow bass fishermen, if you ever fished Barrett (God's gift to mankind, well, to bass fishermen anyways), or if you ever thought about it, we (those that go out AND the lake staff), could use one minute of your time to help with a' little' problem. Would you please? Here's what's up (I posted ...

San V is definitely the most consistent bite this spring and summer! If you don't like fishing trees and brush down to 40+', you might pass on the V now..it can be a challenge to pull the better fish out of the jungle!

Oddly enough almost all my catches the last two weekends were in less than 10 ...

One caveat about San Vicente: if you’re not comfortable dealing with wake from ski boats, go on a Monday. They are out in force on the weekends and typically don’t have any consideration for anyone else on the water. It’s a miracle there isn’t an accident there every single weekend with those ...

Last Monday when I was at Miramar I saw a few rumbles on the surface but had no topwater baits with me as I packed mostly worms and craw baits. A buddy also recently told me he caught a few on top this trip I packed a few topwater baits in my kayak. It was a little foggy when I arrived and headed ...

Hit my home lake for a few hours on Saturday morning 8-5-23. Got on the lake at 6:00AM. 1st one on a Popper in shallow water. 2nd one on a drop shot rig in a little deeper water. Then had one break off heading under the boat, even though my drag was pretty loose. 2 more missed hook sets after that ...

Nice job getting in and out before the crowds. Is that your new Alumacraft boat? I'll bet that makes San V pretty nice.

Still did not see any topwater action......pretty strange as in the beginning of June it just started to go off and then pretty much died.
Drastic changes in the water levels definitely had some type of affect in the overall fishing as normally topwater action would be pretty
much wide open in the ...

Launchable?

Yes it is.....Launched my kayak the other week and no problem launching my boat this morning. I am still a little cautious remembering the time when the water was real low years ago and my buddy pulling his Skeeter boat up to the trailer hit a rock at the end of the boat ramp and ...

Ok, have to admit, did not know what BFS stood for. A little search and for those others not 'in the loop', here's the break down. Interesting.

(I hate downsizing, so I'll hold off for a while. Guess if I fished tournaments, I'd have to get into it).

With anticipation of hopefully more topwater action, I headed back up to Lake Miramar this morning with 3 rods rigged with
topwater baits and one with a small jerk bait. The surface was pretty glassy when I arrived. Finally a few small bass stirring the top of the
water. Everyone knows that by the ...

Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum, so I thought I'd post a couple of pics from my trip to Hodges reservoir last Saturday.

I caught 7 fish total. 1 early frog fish, 1 on a jig, a couple on Senkos, and the rest on 7" dropshot robowoworms.

Anyway, glad to be here on the forum.

Took a rare drive with my kayak up to that lake that is 38 miles North & East of..........ok you guessed it, if you said Lake Sutherland. I decided to give it a try even though it has been really tough fishing this year for many and for me the last time I fished there months ago. I arrived and saw ...

My little local lake out here in Ramona has been very abusive this year! After 4 months of 1 to 3 fish days, I finally started putting together some patterns a couple weeks ago and today was my revenge day! The weather was perfect, overcast in the morning and a high of 82 by 1:00! Normally in August ...
