San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Well it has been a while since I posted but thought I would throw up a collection of fish from a few different outings to my favorite local piece of water...so here they are, in mo particular order...actually they are chronological (most recent on the bottom...)

Decided to skip a trip to Murray and headed out to the SD river. Got there around 7:30 and there was even more surface area covered with a green film than last week. I imagine that with some good winter rains it will be able to flush out a lot of this yucky green water. On the positive side, after a ...

I was able to get out on the water twice this weekend. Friday and again this morning. I got 5 on Friday and 9 this morning. It feels like I have caught many more. I have been fishing small flukes and a BFS walking bait (thanks for the tip Dannicus) for the most part. While I have been catching fish ...

The clock hadn't hit 11 am and Edna from Accounts Receivable had gotten on my last nerve. Usually this happens around 3 pm, but this was a new record for her. All morning, she had been asking ME , the Sr Project Manager, when we started billing a new client of ours, when SHE , the head of Accounts ...

I got to Murray this morning forgetting it was the second Tuesday of the month and it was closed, so I pivoted and went to Mission Bay instead.

I launched from Dana Landing at around 8:30 and the tide was high. I landed a couple of small spotties among the anchored boats, when Fish and Game pulled ...

It's stocking week at the pond. Which means I'll have the following interaction about 15 times a day this week:

"Did they stock yet?!"

"No."

"Damn! Do you know when they're gonna stock?"

"No."

A few moments later, the same $hit happens, with someone asking:

"Did they stock yet?!"

I need ...

Woke up this morning and there was a light rain. I wanted to go fishing, but just sat there drinking coffee. But even though it was a late morning start, I grabbed some rain gear and headed down to the SD River. I figured I could rough it for a few hours as it was not pouring or anything.
The water ...

Hey all,
It was a fun day at Lake Poway. I only fished for a couple of hours and only got 2 bites. Fortunately, the fish were 10.22lbs and 7.52lbs! So. Much. Fun! It's been a few years since I got a DD and the feeling never gets old. Both were bed fish that I caught on jigs. I have a feeling this ...

Ok, Update! I have prided myself on my integrity my whole life. Period! If people want to mess with me over a simple mistake, I get it. No worries. I’ll do better next time. So, that being said I’m going to leave this video as “Unlisted” with a new thumbnail and updated description explaining what ...

Snagging season is here. Come on man. If you shoot a black bear from a helicopter is that hunting or you grow an oat patch and when deer season opens you kill animals you been feeding all year. Poway and other clear water lakes that you so called fisherman like to haunt this time of year should ...

The weather is heating up and before it gets too hot later in the week, I headed to the SD River this morning. No need to rush, as it seems most of the bass I caught at the river ain't until later morning. I recently scanned over time stamps on numerous photos taken here and at Murray of healthier ...

This past weekend, I linked up with Phantom and El Japo for a kamikaze trip up to Lake Nacimiento — and as usual, what a trip it turned out to be.

We hit the road from Los Angeles at 10 PM, which already felt like a throwback to those reckless road ...

Our Tournament Director opened the fridge Friday night during our house dinner, and a few seconds later, shouted, “Who in the F*CK is marinating their plastics with teriyaki sauce?!” He had grabbed a Tupperware container from the fridge, expecting ...

Hey all,
I haven't gotten to post (or fish) in a while. I did have the opportunity to head out for just a few hours on Saturday to Lake Miramar. It was a nice mental therapy session just to decompress. The bonus was that I caught fish! I just wanted to take it back old ...

Decided to skip a trip to the Lake of D & K due to hot weather. Oh course I was bored after my coffee and biscotti and kept bouncing the idea that maybe I could just head down to the SD River or Murray and fish from shore for couple hours before it gets too hot. Finally I grabbed 2 rods and a ...

Hit South Lake west of Bishop this week. An awesome time of year even if the bigger fish weren’t jumping in the boat. We didn’t do bad tho catching 19 rainbows on two days in a boat. We also tossed lures instead of bait as we weren’t planning to keep any to cook. Soaking or drifting dough baits or ...

Sounds like a fantastic trip.. Other than the $hitbird thief’s… Glad you had fun..

Nice going guys! Took our first trip to that region in the fall recently and it’s just amazing with the colors. Perfect temps and no bugs too.
