San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

If you like stripping streamers in shallow water, now's the time up here! I've picked up 42 fish in 2 days, ranging from 12" to 23". I'm fishing the flats in the back of Lake Mary, mostly stripping black leaches with a flashback hares ear trailer. 11 of the fish were between 20"-23" and caught in 2 ...

Been hitting San Diego one to two days a week for the last couple of months. Mostly between Fiddler's Cove area and south end of the Coronado Cays and from east to west.

Fishing has generally been good. A few slower days where the fish ate plastic grubs much better than flies but most days about ...

Crowley and Mary fishing great! Midges and Hornbergs killing it at Crowley..doesn't get any better! Most fish are up at the mouth of the Owens. A long kick from the Green banks. Mary was giving up nice 14"-19" fish on black leeches with a flashback hares ear trailer stripped in 4'-8' of water. I ...

Recently moved to Flagstaff AZ from San Diego, and I figured y'all would find this interesting. I have been fishing Oak Creek Canyon heavily, catching wild browns, stocked rainbows, and native Gila trout. The Gilas seem to love dries, especially hopper reaction bites when the fly hits the water ...

Very slow day at Bonita Cove/Mariner's Basin this afternoon, just like the tide chart and barometer said it would be. But the rain kept the people away so parking wasn't too bad.
Only got a couple of spotties, but they averaged 13 inches.
One of 'em ate a bass jig (green football head, 4" spider ...

Back in June I started using speed clips for my calico bass hardbaits (Waxwings and Current Snipers). After that went ahead and tried them on my daytime tuna jigs( poppers and snipers). I was worried about the clips maybe straightening out at first, but not anymore. It takes me time to tie my knots ...

Managed to get out for a couple hours on the creek.
Previously, the new tiny fluke thing was getting whacked pretty consistently just flylining it.
Figured I would stick to dropshotting it this time out.
I mean, it looks like a shrimp or a bug or something anyway...

I think Vinny owns stock in that business!

You could hire me(I work for Tokyo rigs..ha ha) to take pics for you like the avatar shot I took or buy or make your own selfie stick.
Since you do fish a lot out of your float tube I know you hold your arm out with the camera and take the pics. I ...

It means weather is like a box of chocolates, never know what you're going to get.
Tom Hanks , said it best.
A 50yr weather prediction seems silly..

Every time I get sad about this weather I look at my last summer's electric bills and I start feeling much better all of a sudden

I sold my boat due to health reasons, I love fishing but my broken body will not let me enjoy what I love to do the most. Gonna miss seeing everyone on the water. I hope you all keep sharing your ventures so I can live through you all on the water.

Best wishes to you all.

Sorry @VinnyBass but I really like Juan Soto, if you saw movie Money Ball with Brad Pitt he would be the first player they go after. Walks adds to pitchers pitch count which everyone cares about. I think Mike Trout sucks this year because he isn't looking for walks like he use too


It’s funny ...

For some reason the Tommy Lasorda meltdown about Kurt Bevacqua was on my instagram. I can listen to that a 100 times and it still makes me laugh.
That was the good old days of baseball.


Of course I had to watch that tirade again since I barely remember it and wow did Lasorda go off. Pretty wild ...

They say Philly fans in any sport are the craziest most hardcore fans around. Yesterday on the radio the host were telling Philly nightmare stories. Is your cousin one of them hardcore fans? @VinnyBass

They really love their teams. Heck my aunt back there is 92 years old and a big Eagles fan ...

A short clip of it.....

It was fun to see Jason Kelcie with his shirt off slamming beers in the Taylor Swift booth at the Bills game.


I was born in San Diego, but have lots of relatives in Pennsylvania......mostly around Philly. The fans there are a lot more
crazy than out here. I have been back there about 35 times ...

Think I ended with 24. Footage up and more coming on the socials FWIW. Not really here, find me elsewhere. Yeah, I get it, not many even care about the place. Not sure what the rules with links even are. Be well all.

Sunday was the best day of bass fishing we’ve ever had. Maybe our best day of fishing period!

Me and my two boys (7 & 9) got on the water by 5:30am and fished for the next 13 hours. And we would have kept fishing if they let us! They air and water were cooler than in weeks past and the lake seemed ...
