San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Besides the new increased prices in the recent City budget was there any mentions the cost will remain for just this year and kept for at least another year or three or subject to be bumped again in the next year’s budget?

Dude, you could be very well get banned! The max you can get is the total cost of a ticket in this case - $185.00 unless someone’s willing to give you a profit of $15.00

Looks like a good day. I have been asking about the shad, 4 trips no shad.


There are some there and if you find any, bass will be feeding. Especially on the surface. But there does seem to be less and maybe skinnier fish. Unless they are just spawned out and have yet to gain back weight. Some ...

Yea the first video is quite long but I liked the research and explanation part. Here’s another video that’s much easier to see and follow.

We got a few for Saturday's!

Love the early pre-sales!

End of the season coming!

Dunno, but it’s either a glitch with Ticketmaster or the powers to be decided not to open the lake during those days but I’d keep an eye out 2-3 times a day just like how the July ones popped up when at first, it wasn’t offered.

Yea I agree!

But it was the stupid driver of that big ass white SUV that was blocking the rest of the pathway!

I suggest they should put red cones or some other items on that side of the rock wall.

That driver of that white vehicle might have been with his son I’m not 100% sure but we were ...

Hand each one of them a rod and reel, loaded with a barbless bait and fish from the dock to get excited especially if they’re not fisherman’s.

Make a single exemption if they don’t possess a fishing license.

The idea is to get them hooked (yes, pun was intended).

When was the last time the City did an overdue fix to the ruts on the dirt path?

For the prices everyone is paying they neglected to grade down those bone jarring, vehicle vibrating, suspension breaking and teeth rattling conditions.

Our last trip out, we saw a truck that almost lost his yak ...

I prefer doing what happened in July (August and Sept) selling the tickets for two months at a time instead of having to try monthly.

We already know our work schedules and personal days off and what weekends are good in those two months but that’s just us (4-6 fellows and gal).

Anyone know of the white horse statue on the way to Barrett coming from the I-8 freeway?

Is there a stable nearby or a horse ranch or ??

When we see that white horse, we know we’re getting closer to the left turn T-intersection.

Sometimes it can be eerie sight in the darkness, then there is it!

That’s my buddies place. Just an oddity, like the Hollywood sign he has on the hill. It used to be a unicorn.

The horse ranch north east or before that is windfall ranch. Separate place


Thank you for clearing up one of my life’s mysteries for me! 😄


Maybe the question is why are you ...

Yeah, the skinny hemostats are the way to go. I keep these on a lanyard around my neck....but also have a skinnier set in the pack for the really small fish. The Dr. Fisherman hemostats are a bit less...intrusive....when dealing with a green sunfish that somehow ate a 1/0 hook.....

Sorry I can’t help you there but if you guys could fish the following Wednesday, Sept. 17th, TM still has a boat ticket as of now. Good luck!

While I think the lack of the shad’s for whatever reasons (maybe die-off) or water conditions may attribute to the thinness of most of the bass being caught this year, I can’t help to think that these fishes are suffering from the ability to get all of the plastics out of their gut system.

I think ...

To add to my own above comments, maybe allowing nothing but live natural baits, such as, crickets and earthworms and the likes with ZERO plastics NOT allowed for the first one or two or three months, hard baits allowed.

Barbless hooks are a MUST.

I say allow DFG to inspect all boaters and ...

As Dfishing mentioned, the senko’s swells so imagine it swelling up inside their gut and making it even harder to expel it out plus the salt’s that inside the senko’s.

Yes fishing with live bait may result in more gut hooked fish but hope the vast majority of the fisherman knows how to safely ...

Refer to the 2026 Barrett/poll ideas post. Again, when I met with the City I was told they were purchasing new 16' boats for Barrett. They will use the existing motors, most of which are a few years old or newer. As the motors seem to expire they are being replaced, slowly.

Yes I was ...

At least now, the fishes will have the time to heal from their poked mouths, swollen jaws recovered and hopefully all the non-food crap will be passed out and can eat the real meals made by Mother Nature.
