Got out a little later today, since the bite in the dark hasn't been that strong and sleeping in seems like a good thing. Air was 74F, Water was 78F. Light wind coming easterly. Played about in Wilson's creek and didn't have much topwater success. Managed to lose a pompadour lure though. That's two ...

Here's this other thread with lots of great advice: https://www.sdfish.org/viewtopic.php?p=19885&hilit=jig#p19885

I don't fish jigs much but this year on the opening weekend at Barrett I used them a lot and caught fish nearly every cast haha. I used a mix of black/blue and green pumpkin color jigs ...

They rent a room at the dam keepers house

Good to see you brother

Hello Jorge,

Interested, should I be afraid of what " plus a tug" means?
I think it means a tow with the kayak. Is that a mandatory part of it? The timing might not be good.
Thanks


Not mandatory. Just throwing it out there in case whoever snags them up has a Kayak. Send me a private message ...

Whoever shows up at the lake just needs to give the name of the ticket purchaser when checking in with either Jose or Lori.

I have been in touch with guide Wesley Brough about using his services, but haven’t finished our discussions… I primarily want to just fish for a couple of early morning hours every day.. Like I said, it’s not a fishing trip, but I would like to maybe get a couple of fish off of my bucket list…

I would stop by Jansen inshore tackle. Hes got two locations in Cabo one in San Lucas and one in San Jose. Super friendly and knowledgeable guy that will help you out. His "cabo killer" lure, very similar to a roberts plug is a local favorite down there for the roosters and jacks.

I haven't used the Johnson lure in Cabo, but have many times in the Caribbean... I have caught a bunch of reef dwellers (snapper,grunts small jacks etc), a couple large trigger fish, maybe 4-5 bonefish, and a couple of tarpon (Hooked but not landed, and huge tilapia in St. Martin salt ponds)...
The ...

It’s a great lure for around snags, and has good movement…I’ve only used the gold color on a recommendation for using in the St. Martin salt ponds for tarpon.. It got bit, but it also got spit out.. Tarpon are very acrobatic and have bony mouths…
A smaller size might be useful chasing croaker ...

They use them for chasing red fish and sea trout in the South East...

You’re a wealth of knowledge Bill..Thanks for the input… What do you think about using them in the bays around eel grass or even in the surf around hard structure or kelp?…

They cast good and have a really good wobble . The action should work on just about any species . The weedless ...

They did cast well for me… Wind in your face did effect them some though…
Butch

To close this out… Nothing new from the last post… Had a great time, but did miss not fishing…
Butch

Good for you on getting Jake out… Nice SBB too.. I don’t tube at all, and don’t fish the bays as much as I used to, but they can really produce… Nice fishing for you two..

So there I was, sitting in my Truck, with nobody anywhere. I had arrived at 5:30 am to meet several Kayakers on a quest for the elusive Lake Elsinore Wipers. I asked Siri to navigate me to Launch Pointe. My Nav System led me to a large launch ramp in the pitch black night. A sign said they open at ...
