San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I never used a troll motor, if I get pushed around by wind too much, I’d beach and fish a point from shore. I also installed an anchor trolley and that made a huge difference for sitting “still” on a good spot. One other thing, you could make a spud that stores parallel on the side of the kayak ...

I was the last one off the water on Saturday and ran across a tackle tray. Anyone missing it?

The fight continues.....I guess this is what retirement is all about. I requested a 1 on 1 with the Mayor and yesterday received an email that the request was granted.....just waiting for the date and time from his office. Stay tuned.

that doesnt look good "total cost of 36.50 is one tube resy

Yea that’s weird, you got a great deal for $36.50 for two boats and a floater!

Definitely call them tomorrow!

Not only did you get the two boats (valued at $200 plus $36.50 float) for low discounted price, it will be interesting to see if it was a glitch or you actually did score!

The question ...

I'm not sure how or why I got this message in my email. I bought it in sort of a panic because I had to update my password at the last minute.. Does anybody know, please? It says they on will-call. I think that might refer to the boats only; I have a printable receipt for the float tube ticket ...

Much appreciated if it works out. I’ll definitely owe you a couple beers for that one !

Give it a try… I loved stream fishing for trout, but this is kinda the same thing… Always looking for structure and moving.. I’m not much of a lake guy, and haven’t had a boat in years..So this is perfect for me…

Hey all!
I know this report is a bit late but it was a super busy week for me. I figured better late than never.

This was Sunday June 4 and I was excited just to be out there. I got on ...

Feel your pain. No punctures in 30 years w old ODC 420 , brand new scadden hybrid punctured from dorsal spine of dink bass as I released and it jumped and stabbed the tube.
This was at 6am deep in pine.
Kayaker had some duct tape but did not hold when wet. Ended up heading back w finger on leak. I ...

Cloudy, grey day at Barrett today, although thinking about it, most of them have been this year. This one had intermittent wetting, not drizzle, but maybe rain-light. thumbnail_IMG_9524.jpg

Got to try out my very classy human baggie rainsuit. If you are ever cold, put one of those on. You will be ...

Fished Wednesday morning from 5:20 to 1:30. Did not go back into Hauser Arm and fished the entire Pine Creek Arm. was prestty slow until we got toward the end of pine creek in the cove area by the waterfall. Fished with my old buddy Seadog and we ended up in double digits. The ticket was a wacky rig ...

This was one of those days that we all been waiting for. I stopped at 50 bass, ALL on top water! By 9:30 I had 25, then found an area where they were chasing bait/shad and it was on. I used every top water bait I had and all worked, but the crawler caught the most. Had to leave at noon, left them ...

First I’d like to thank Dave G and Laurie for helping set this up. I have been fishing with Tony for a few months, he has Stage 4 Lung Cancer and needed some time on the water. I have been fishing Newport Bay with him, kind of training him to fish for Largemouth Bass. The skills you learn from ...

Still working on quantity but quality is way up! Was on the lake 420 at Pine Arm by 445. Got some dropshot in the water and caught one with the stars still out! That was really fun. Then moved deeper into Pine and saw some boiling that I was able to put a white/chartreuse jackhammer on. Didn't weigh ...

Fished last Wed and the one before, very hot, but good topwater action helps me forget about it.
