San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Then what about the Bass I catch on large Bluegill while Flathead fishing at the river? Bass eat big Gills all the time. Sometimes they choke on them, I’ve seen Bass dead Bass with Coots stuck in their mouths. They will try and eat anything that they can fit in their Big Mouths, yet we rarely see ...

Glad to see that the Magic Lake is heating up. It is a special place populated by happy Anglers. We can almost call it the Barrett Family. It just goes to show what a properly managed Lake can produce socially as well as recreationally. Real Fishermen are a great group of people, everywhere I’ve ...

Great Place to camp, 4 miles from entrance, Fishermen friendly!

A lot of great advice here. As I grew as a Bass Fisherman, I think the most important thing was fishing with others that had more skill than me. The second thing was to force myself out of my comfort zone and really learning new techniques. The third was constant refinement of those techniques. I ...

Vinny, do you have a quality lightweight anchor? I use an anchor Trolly that clips to my anchor rode with a Carabiner. That way you can drop anchor and slide it to the rear. Now you get to fish downwind at your spot. You can let the rode out 15 feet at a time to hit more area. Then pull it back to ...

The nice thing about the Campground is proper restrooms and access to electricity for a very small extra cost. Also they are a local small business, ran by Fisher-people.

I have two anchors for my Kayak. One is a folding Grapnel, with a small length of chain for abrasion resistance. It is very light weight and effective in most situations.
The other is homemade. It is a 12 inch length of 1 1/2” galvanized pipe filled with sand and capped on each end with a hole ...

I really don’t want to be that guy but I’m gonna say it. I can’t get past the fact that there are Hundreds of Homeless people living the length of that watershed with no access to restrooms. It sits in my head that the water is Poop stew. No doubt there is some good fishing in there. There is good ...

I seem to remember a saying from when I was a kid. Two out of Three ain’t bad! Way better than my Sailfish record….0 - 6 or my Tarpon Record… 1 - 12.

The saying in Florida is: “Tarp-on ….. Tarp - off”

That happened to me too many times and is exactly the reason I fish 20 Braid and 15 Flouro leader. Case in point. I set the hook on a hard tap yesterday and was on a fish for 20 minutes praying it was a non- jumping Bass. It towed my Tube slowly 100 yards out into the Lake. You already know it was a ...

Great lure!
