Congrats on a great day. I caught my first trout out of Murray on the then fishing dock 2 1/4 lbs in the 60's on a velveeta ball.


I remember those days using velveeta but I used to use those tiny marshmallows on a treble hook
and catch trout back then also. Did not stay on your hook long ...

As Robert says, a worm. Years ago and with water up into the tules just right, I won a small tourney flipping 8” t-rigged chocolate neon blue worms into the tules. To this day I see guys nailing them on dropshots and my gal caught her first plastic worm bass there on a t-rigged roboworm. In fact on ...

He’s my report went Sunday got 7 yes grass is tough I threw on grass line w neko 7” roboworm all fish caught on only 1 on Dropshot my two best I took pics rest were pretty small

Go look at mattlures galleries on his website. Any pic that has tulles with waders or pine trees in the back is cuyamaca.

Fun froggy morning at Otay. Only 5 bass, but all over 3 lbs with the best going 3.76. also managed a few beefy bluegill trolling crank baits when changing froggin spots.

I'm impressed with the quality of the new Paramount waders. They seem really well made. Time will tell how many trips I make ...

Had a really fun 18 fish day at The Captain today, but I had to go old school to get them.

Started off on top with 2 on the Gunfish. Then I switched to a jig and got a couple more. Then the bite just stopped, so I tied on a pegged Texas rigged Trick worm and evidently that's what they wanted!

Most ...

With the Murr closed I decided to go to the captain yesterday after dropping off the kids at school. I didn't get on the water till a little after 9, and caught the very tail end of the morning busters.

I got 1 on a Gunfish early, and then had to move down in the water column. Picked up a few more ...

It has been a while since I found some quality at the local pond...but got a couple good ones Monday evening... on my 2nd cast/flip
about 5 minutes later...

Hello SDFISH,
Caught this bad boy in the south bay. I was lucky ran into them that day. First hooked up bend my hook, second one landed it. Measured at 25" and 4.36 Lbs. I have see them in the past but they are not interested in my lures.

We mostly fished the kelp at high tide with plastics, loaded up on grumpys in the bay afterward too. Total we got some small calicos, 1 legal sandbass, couple grass rockfish, and the kicker sheep.

Great fishing on the DD for some taco eaters. Great time on the water, good time with friends.

I was stressed to fish a straight forward rig as possible. I fished 80lb to 40lb with 16oz of lead, 3/0s, wished I fished 5/0s.

Caught my 4 reds, my girl caught 4, and then I stopped fishing after ...

Nice!!!!
Good luck getting on with Markus, his entire schedule is turning into private charters.....
Literally, no joke, he's booked for the rest of the year already, there are no NLA trips...
Ive been doing a private 2 day charter with Markus for ever, 20 years...

Best way to do it is to keep it in a damp cooler with maybe some wet towels or over seaweed. As long as they're kept in a cool, dry place and don't dry out or are kept submerged in water (where they will suck up the O2 and suffocate) they will be fine for a couple days. An easy way to prepare them ...

Wow what an absolute bunmer but it could have been way worse. Fish it as is, has some mojo!

As they say, scars are usually good stories! I might only replace the carpet but might make sense to file an insurance claim and get it all done right.

glad your boat survived...concerning for sure

Just take her out squid fishing and the rest of the boat will look like the burn section

Hey SD Fishers…need to give a big shout out to Kevin at KMG Boats in Lakeside. Got a referral to take my boat there after I nearly burned it up…see previous post…but I just took delivery and it looks better than new! Check out some progress pics, and the finished product. Amazing work Kevin and ...

looks sweet! they did a great job

Just curious, did you see what the cost was parts and labor? I know sometimes insurance jobs can be different than a normal pay job but just wondering as I need some carpet and don’t have the time to attempt myself.
