San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

We got a commitment for letters of support for the restoration of sunrise to sunset access from the Alpine Planning Group last night and the same for my proposal to use the SDGE easement roads. There are many letters of support for these things piling up.

Part of the trail grant money is proposed ...

Please email the Sweetwater General Manager today or tomorrow or at least by Wednesday at noon and ask him to encourage the board of Directors to vote to put the full fishing float back at the lake. The meeting is on Wednesday at 5:00 PM at Sweetwater HQ in Chula Vista. Also please remind him that ...

This is what happens when all Loveland Advocates at the meeting are unified on the topic.
Sweetwater voted unanimously to put the fishing float back in the same location, size, and quality. We continued to press them on restocking fish and sunrise to sunset or longer hours and not draining the ...

What would the $ 59k cover? Back when Supervisor Anderson was doing his lakes initiative thing it was clear the lakes wanted no involvement of none unless it was a windfall. Anderson offered the city 600,000 For 45-something lake days over 6 years, that one day a month at each lake. That windfall is ...

This is interesting. Find a way for a government contractor to make money with these bodies of water on public land.

Anderson doing a push to keep the lakes open. https://public-district2.sandiegocounty ... gn=165-562

Awesome but yes we can and should do better.


Anderson beat Vaus by around 300 votes. It was us that pushed him over the top. Who knows if, as the incumbent, he feels he needs us now?
He can do better not only because he got the election with our votes, but because he said he wants to keep his ...

I had fun with this, It's ok to say it's stupid or I should just get a boat or whatever. Maybe it gives some ideas. LOL.
There is an alternate full-length outrigger setup I made and this is not the final adjustment on this one.
About 6 miles an hour is what it will do. I had it out on the bay in ...

Hi Dave, I'll fumble around with that and see what I can do. First I am going to try with what pictures I can find. Here is the setup for the full outrigger. When I use the small outriggers the motor mount is very similar but none of the parallel to the kayak rigging you see. ] I have never been as ...

On this day of FREEDOM and PATRIOTISM, I have some evidence that points to California Regulators for several departments and Federal Cabinet-level offices and congressmen flat-out suppressing, and having for four years now separately and jointly suppressed environmental protection and public ...

I would Leave finesse stuff at home. For plastics or jigs, based on the green water and a pretty good day yesterday, I would go black and blue or dark like Junebug standard brush hog. My standard green pumpkin worked, but darker was better. another guy said he liked to fish his heavier jig deeper ...

A few might be interested in this. Not sure where to put it.

Here is the Loveland Sunrise to Sunset Petition.
It also shows Anderson is still connected to the other rural lakes initiative he started.
I guess there are reasons not to sign or help with this petition.
What people have cared about during the Loveland advocacy period are:

Fishing, of course ...

Good news coverage for the Loveland Sunrise to Sunset petition.

Thanks, Nice Halibut. I am one-for-one on Halibut surf trips and don't want to mess up my streak. Actually, I know it was just luck. Nice fish there. Thank you for the bluegill tips. I had no idea you were catching them where and how you described; good work!

Please be careful about rattlesnakes if you go to Loveland. I went over one boulder for the first time, scrambling down to a fishing spot. I've seen a few, but this is the first time I've been between the water and the snake, and it's rattling. I never saw it because I scrammed away, as did the ...

It was great that Bruce Smith put his time and energy into the Loveland Cause and Friends of the San Diego Lakes initiatives.
San Diego County has active Lakes advocates!

Glad you are getting somewhere with this Russel. Petition signed!


It's so cool to see you here, George! Awesome.
I hope we are getting somewhere. The petition only helped get more people aware of the ripoff on the hours.
The situation Is in better shape than the last time we talked. The public ...

You are living the life, my friend.

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing.

Bakersfield has a case about a Water District Killing fish by stopping flows in the Kern River. Attorney General Bonta is quoting old fishery protection laws in an Amicus Brief for the courts.

There are articles around about the case. It's argued that maintenance isn't an excuse to kill fisheries ...
