San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Believe it or not, Sweetwater is trying to get FEMA money for damage from "flooding" preceded by "drought" at Loveland Reservoir, and other insurance money too. Some of it is for the fishing float and "recreation trails" that were damaged by "flooding". Really unbelievable. They will likely just ...

So they are trying to say it’s a natural disaster but in reality, it’s a man-made disaster. I hope it gets exposed for what it is. Corruption at its finest. You can’t make this stuff up


It is exposed. I exposed it thoroughly yesterday. CalEPA, CalOES, FEMA case managers, Sweetwater's Private ...

Possible good development:
I spoke with a young man from Congressman Issa’s constituent services team in Temecula yesterday. It appears that Congressman Issa's staff have, at least temporarily, opened the casework for help with the Forest Service that I posted about around a week ago.
My ...

So happy for you to have these kinds of adventures and thanks for posting about them!

Bass Ambush speed/aggression is indeed shocking.

This is probably obvious to everybody; From a boat, I almost always consider it a huge favor that bass tend to swim into deep water because it's typically away from hazards. From shore, it gives them an advantage a lot of the time, even if just ...

The extra benefit with the small spinnerbait and cranks, Catching big-ass crappie.

Time will tell of course, but Sweetwater was pretty certain Loveland will overtop.

We had a good meeting today with Congressman Issa's Representative and State Senator Jones' District Director.
There was a good mix of volunteers who had a good grip on the reasons the operation of the lake should be the same as it was on the grand opening day of the 1996 relocated fishing program ...

Please show up and help with the impression that our fishing programs are something we will stand up for.

The next meeting is still Thursday at 6:00 PM at the Alpine Community Planning Group meeting.
08/24/2023 6:00 PM 1830 Alpine Blvd. Alpine CA, 91901

We finally get a chance for a public ...

Here is our Loveland Forest Service Meeting. Wish the old thread was alive to add this to it.
I don't expect anybody to watch it but damn it's been a long time coming.
FS Starts about 30 minutes talking about big budgets but everybody pretty much was there for Loveland.

Fish Restocking at Loveland. Not on the horizon until Sweetwater Authority faces punitive action or sees it coming. I believe this makes sense. DFW will need a punitive decision on the case instigated by my CalEPA complaints and another person's complaint by CalEPA to demand fish restocking. CalEPA ...

Nice to meet you at the launch Early release. Not sure what time that was, but getting there late put me somewhere between a pattern and a grind. Got 6 or 7 bass and 3 big bluegills working around main lake points with the jerk bait and three better but not big fish, on the A-rig in about 15 feet of ...

Making good progress and really getting into the nitty gritty with the CalEPA caseworkers and even DFW getting drawn in at high levels.
One possible problem with my CalEPA case is that I made a complaint of an "actionable threat" in 2020. That should have been processed and Sweetwater stopped from ...

Loveland update;
This is potentially really good news.
Update From the Meeting with Andrew Hayes for Senator Jones' office on Friday.
“Round table” meeting with Sweetwater Authority on or about October 18th in Alpine. (Apparently not an Alpine Community Planning Group meeting)
This is to discuss ...

Find a sponsor that makes glide baits, then post it and say you caught it on a glide bait.
Make sure you say "This lure catches them when nothing else will!"

The new Descanso Ranger, Kyle Smith, is answering emails now, not mine but other people's....which is good progress.
Please write him something...anything about Loveland, How we are glad to have the Forest Service back for us as a voice for Loveland Hiking and Fishing.

He is here to GRADUALLY ...

Good news,
CalEPA, It's possible that the CalEPA investigation case managers can be trusted. Nobody can blame me for acting like there is a big doubt about that. I refused to take my update on the investigation alone over the phone, as has been offered, and asked for a Zoom meeting with various ...

The CalEPA case managers told us 'no way" to the request for the public meeting! LOL took back the offer of an update completely. I don't want a phone call anyway so it was worth a try to push a bigger ask. They are going to tell me the results when it's over. Maybe one of the other 5 or 6 ...

There are a lot of fish in Loveland.

Some observations from three trips over the last month.
At least one Prime Cove is sort of stacked with just under legal size bass and they seem to be pounding shad now and then, but the shad has not been 100% confirmed. Very typical behavior of busting and ...

Here is the https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17LkD39cJZoatD9RuunGEEynFy06fnqcOdwEuPvDi9QU/edit?usp=sharing that I envisioned/crowd-sourced and my wife and I put together as a wish list for trail and access improvements for Loveland. (Yes, it's okay to laugh at it)
This is part of the mediation ...
