San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I grabbed my boat and made it to HB for my grandsons birthday. Ryan just turned 5 and I promised to take him fishing with his much older brother Caleb who's now 8. We traveled over to Newport Bay to try our luck so we launched in the back bay by Newport Dunes . As we left the ramp and it hadnt been ...

Had a ball out at Murray Thursday. Met a great guy and guide in VinnyBass also. Started around 7 am and was surprised to see busters all over the lake. I started with a weighted fluke for no love as I made my way out to the middle of lake where i saw VinnyBass make some hook ups but didnt see him ...

Tell me exactly what you threw and what color. I will be out there tomorrow morning early and would hate to make the same mistakes as what you were throwing !! Please hahahahahaha

Tried to get a few hours in the morning before the heat took over. they opened the gate at 6;00 and i set up the pontoon and was on the water headed down the Del Dios arm by 6;30. I was heading to a place i knew that has deep water because from the reports i got on folks throwing the kitchen sink at ...

Was heading over to Barrett but woke up late and since I was already packed up I made the short drive over to Hodges. There was not many people fishing and most probably stayed away due to the tough conditions out there. I made a beeline to the dam and started throwing cranks on my BFS set up. Got a ...

It still looks like you had a great time despite the the wind and heat. Comfortable looks good on you my friend. Maybe next week you can locate some bigger fish to play with.

If they keep taking water out, we might go shopping for all the lost lures. I swear that lake has more of my tackle than any.


It now owns my trick anchor and dive reel it was attached to. What a bonehead thing to do as im ordering a new one. First thing in the morning I was rounding the corner ...

Hey Vinny have you tried throwing any yamamoto floating sencos if you haven't Ive got a bunch i'll give you for that purpose. Can't get em to work like they claim too.

Great video as always Chris and super job with the jig. San V is not known for being a good jig fishing lake but like you I love throwing a jig and have had some success especially on back side of island with one. Great looking rod btw. Hope to see you out on the water my friend and thanks again for ...

Ditto

Holy crap Vinnie is correct you are a stud. The thought of driving 90 minutes to lug my pontoon to the edge of the water and set it up has me already melting in this heat. Im sure glad you do it so i can read what im missing in the comfort of my lazyboy with a/c blowing across my prone body. You ...

I am so glad to follow my gut when it said "ya gotta get to Barrett". My main objective besides catching fish was to test out the pontoon boat. I had just added a 100 ah lithium battery and also I added butt steer. A couple bungee cords to seat and shaft of motor. I finally got the pontoon dialed in ...

Late report from last sunday....
I ran into a another bobcat on the shore same deal on lures used lizards and work great.... a couple on top a couple on crank but the highlight was the bobcat ... not sure why I enjoy animals in nature, wind got really bad on the way in around noon water was ...

There are so many places to fish for bass it can be overwhelming for a beginner. Most all bodies of freshwater from farm and golf course ponds to gravel pits and on to lakes will hold fish in your area. Irvine lake is a good place to start or not to far is DVL and Skinner Lake. South of you is Dixon ...

Got to the lake early in the morning along with very few other anglers. Got the pontoon set up and off I went on my quest. Since we are heading into the fall I figured I would try to catch the bass with large jigs because I know they will soon be trying to gorge themselves ahead of winter. I was ...

By the pictures it looks like you were using an inline spinner on a few.??

Once again another top notch angling video. Your videos and the quality of them never ceases to amaze me. I think that i can speak for all my angler friends in saying give credit where credits due and you have definately earned such credit. Keep up the great and entertaining work and thank you ...

I must agree with you on this subject because I too was out at El Cap today and Im still wobbly. I also caught a bunch of tiny bass Had I had known there was a tournament I would have gone elsewhere. I didnt see the fish they killed but i did see two tourny boats ride up within 10 feet of my pontoon ...

Super video once again Chris. I was wondering i know you use bitsy bug jigs by strike king but where can you find a green pumpkin red skirts Like you were talking about?
