San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

We had a pretty rowdy Zoom meeting yesterday with Andrew Hayes. As great as he is doing with the mediation he is attempting, we need Congressman Issa's staff to step up for continued Forest Service footdragging. Also, most of us are trying not to compromise on the fact that Sweetwater Should restock ...

All CalEPA complaints and investigations have been closed.
They said "Better luck with DFW and the Forest Service easement".
The good thing that happened is that Waterboards confirmed that whatever water rights Sweetwater has, they are not mutually exclusive with our right to the Forest Service Land ...

I filed a CalEPA complaint against the State Water Resources Control Board for failing to act on my 2020 complaint warning that Sweetwater was going to violate its capture limits and trash Loveland.
It says right on the Sweetwater license that this regulatory agency, the SWRCB can make the ...

Getting very promising feedback from California Waterboards on Loveland's future, including balancing beneficial uses and environmental care. DFW is one of the participants in taking care of Loveland now. There won't be punishment for what Sweetwater did, but it seems everybody knows it can be done ...

Here is the Fox Coverage of the Meeting.

Catch fish from my Kayak in the bays, maybe offshore, halibut hopefully. I just got a trolling motor for it.
I just started fishing stocked trout to hang out with a new friend and it's more fun than I thought it would be, and the family will eat them....easy to do, easy to do with novices, cheap ...

Happy New Year, Michael and everyone. Paul Happy New Year, not I don't have one of those...but yes, some bass flip flops. LOL.

Loveland Transfer is underway. It will all be fine. Can't help but imagine if those "water professionals" had transferred at this time last year like was always done before.

I like the sales cons, "Give 'em something they haven't seen". Well, bass have seen bluegill and crawdads and frogs and they still like them. They like the old 35 MM film containers wrapped in tin foil, used as poppers, I saw a guy catch 35 bass one morning on a film container. All he had was that ...

A bass would kill that! A big one. Thanks for sharing. The hook on the tail must have gone out of style? Maybe a Muskie lure? How about making a replica that doesn't have sentimental value and going on a mission with that?

It is looking like the next Loveland Meeting in Alpine will be on March 14th....This is always subject to delays, revision, or whatever.


The San Diego Regional Waterboards meeting was a big success.
Loveland Advocates starts the video off with public comments, and the Executive Officer makes ...

Sweetwater got an insurance payout for the fishing float and the General Manager is recommending to the board that they put it back in the same size and the same place. I know not every Loveland Angler cares about that fishing float.....but the implications.

The waterboard meeting went well. The Board authorized the Executive Officer to work with stakeholders on beneficial uses at the Local Reservoir.
If you are curious about what this potentially means with a little more depth of conversation. PM me.

I am new to getting in the surf again. Did fish in this category surf, piers, and jetties a lot as a kid /teenager with bait. Werfless, has taken me out a few times and of course, we always catch something.

Tomorrow My wife is meeting a friend for a birthday lunch in San Juan Capistrano.

So per ...

Wow, cool post ^ Thanks. Friends helped me pick Del Mar...but I'll start scoping out more NC places.

Well, I caught a 20-inch Halibut. I don't think the conditions were good, but I don't know for sure. Low tide Waves every few seconds and all churned up. Other than right on the reefs not much "structure" Grass after a few feet of retrieve on every single cast with the LC. I got popped good on the ...

Here is the Video;



My wife and I got to present some proposals I crowd-sourced and we built a PowerPoint with. Those are what are seen in the Fox piece. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/ ... sp=sharing

Loveland Peeps.
My exit point as the leader in this fight has arrived.
The next Chapter in my life starts with more camping and fishing in retirement.
Thanks to anyone who pitched in.
Good things will come to Loveland and its enthusiasts.

Low on details summary:

Success:
The community organizing, media attention court of public appeal side, which should have never been necessary, has been successful and more wins should come from that. The community is on third base with no outs on Loveland. There is a once-in-a-generation ...
