Sorry if the pics show up out of order...they go where they want, regardless of where I put 'em in the text.

Got that out of the way. Only 2 bass, saw a crap ton of 'em but they just weren't interested in what I was throwing. In a couple spots there were bluegill on the ...

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 ...

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 ...

When it’s no longer of any use to you, you can auction off that Ranger hat to the highest bidder. That thing’s loaded with fish catching mojo!


That was really funny. I finally got a new black Ranger hat because my old black one turned into a light tan color. We all may have a favorite fishing ...

These are the only 2 LMB I’ve caught since August of last year. Last weekend at Dos Picos. Believe me I would post more if I had more time to fish.

Gotta love it! That. is so cool.
I used to live on Zion ave in the early 80's and I used to go down Zion ave across ...

What are you Poway folks doing at one of my fav fishin' holes??? :lol: Know of a couple lunkers that have come out of DP ...

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 ...

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.
Dan

CKRZ,

As an Escondido resident, Lake Dixon has been my "home lake" for over 2-decades.
I am strictly a bass fisherman from shore and can only speak to this species.
I fish Dixon no less than once per week.
If you fish Dixon for bass, it's hard to beat a drop-shotted finesses worm rigged weedless ...

Fished San V a few times this past week and both days had a fun bite on breaking fishing all around the lake. Best action was before the breeze picked up from 8-12pm. Quick accurate casts and small flukes worked on or just under the surface was the key to success. A few fish also came on the dead ...

6-8lb Flouro Leader and 10lb braid

Today was ultralight day with a seven and a half foot Diawa Presso, and 1/16th oz ball head jigs. I paired the tiny jig heads with 2.5 inch mini swimbaits. I caught 6 nice bass in the the 2-3 pound range and a Crappie. So much fun on ultralight gear. So much so I am thinking of springing for a ...

McFishtrodamus was right! Fishing at Murray was your destiny today! Nice fishes!

Here's a few from near my area from two separate mornings...couple good ones and as I have promised (I (insert name) do solemnly swear to always post the dinks with the "good ones")

Here are the "good ones" 20231124_073518.jpg

And the dinks...Check out the bait:fish size ...

Hit Wohlford on Saturday for a recon trip. My buddy Bryn called up saying he was stuck in Escondido and needed to catch a Bass. Not a lot of Daytime options right now for some epic style fishing so I found some info on Wohlford and ran down, picked up Bryn and hit the Lake. It was $72 for two ...

Nice job on landing a few. I was out there Sunday morning watched about 100 cormorant birds flying inland, then a squad of 20 of them landed in the pool I was fishing.

Figured the ones going inland had a taste for freash trout, the ones that landed by me were clearly hunting chinook. I took it as ...

My new reel arrived yesterday. I pre-ordered it over a month ago. It's an Ark Gravity BFS reel. I paired it with a Ray Fishing 7 ft Tarantula finesse rod, and spooled it with 6lb. nanobraid and a 6lb. flourocarbon leader.

If you'd have told me yesterday that I could cast a tiny 1/16 oz. (or smaller ...

Went for a morning hike to celebrate my bday. Took home a couple presents. Got em on 3" drop shots and spinnerbaits. Invite yourself fishing.

Sutherland opened today and everybody seemed to know. I wrote a longer report but touched the wrong button and it vanished! Not as easy as it used to be, or I am dumber!
Short version: Water is cold, fish are in the stick-ups and seem to be few.

I wrote a much more detailed report but it vanished when I tried to add pics. 7.53 lbs on a pointer 65 jerkbait! Sutherland!
