If someone wants to recreate to the point they die because of the heat? I say let Darwin cook.

What I am noticing a trend of, is 'closures' of public spaces on the guise of 'protecting the public.'

This happened during Covid where all these public restrooms were shut down. 3 years later, I see a ...

The way I learned (which could very well be wrong) is to fish the wind at your front, or blowing towards you. The reason being is that the top water current will blow any forage towards you and any fish looking for a meal will follow that forage.

I agree with you. When the wind comes up in the ...

Fresh water, I’ve always experienced better fishing on the bank or structure that the wind is blowing against (in your face if you’re on shore or to your back if you’re on the water) The wind tends to push everything the micro stuff is feeding on.

Offshore, wind in your face in a drift. Also wind ...

Heavy rain associated with Hurricane Hilary is also expected to impact California and the Southwest starting Saturday and lasting through early next week, with peak impacts expected on Sunday and Monday.

As of Friday at 8:00 A.M., Hurricane Hilary remains a large and powerful Category 4 Hurricane ...

I hope this beotch pushes up some more volume of fish.

I'm hoping for some pretty stellar corvina fishing after this thing passes. Water hasn't been warm enough for a good spawn this year so hopefully that warm water and the rain trigger something. A little early though, usually they have a smaller second spawn in the fall anyways.

could only hear those folks nearby. Hope it all gets resolved ASAP.

For LMB fishing, I'm using straight braid a lot more and can't see my line choice evolution turning back.

For the concerns about riping hooks/ baits away from fish, which combo, spinning or baitcasting would be considered to compensate more for this worry?

I am more accurate with a bait caster ...

Thumb “technique” at your own risk. I’ve witnessed many many MANY fish lost with people thumbing the spool when a fish is trying to run.

But the OP is aiming for LMB, no need to be gentle, just grind them in.

With braid, use a thicker hook and break their necks with fast reeling.

They are a ...

Bill Murphy only fished spinning rods

Thanks. Actually, my original post was a bit low on details. Good variety of comments.

As someone pointed out it was for LMB fishing.
Not worrying about braid on single hooks like jig heads and stuff.
Fishing jerk baits and topwater with braid. Just the lighter versions on spinning and the ...

LAKE IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR BOATING, KAYAKING - see below.

ALERT - As of October 18, 2023, shoreline fishing has reopened at the lake.

Recent testing conducted by the City of San Diego Public Utilities Department found high levels of cyanobacteria toxins in the water that are caused by blue ...

Considering it never use to happen, yep, it's happening more! I think it's especially unhealthy for dogs. Seems like most San Diego lakes have some sort of problems going on...good job water department..I know, blame it on global warming...ha!

The County Supervisors promised us that our closed days at the city lakes would reopen and they've done nothing to accomplish that! It's hard to believe that they will do any work towards fixing Loveland! They have a reputation for doing nothing for the City Lakes!!! Hodges and El Cap would not have ...
