San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Had a pretty good day at Murray finally. I got tired of 4-5 fish days, so I decided to go back to the BFS basics that I know work day in and day out. Final count was 18 all in the 1-2 pound range (as Vinny would call them, clones), so definitely a quantity over quality day. Still they were all ...

The Irish eyes were smiling....I mean you had a big smile holding that one bass
due to some great angling. Looks like you had a fun time! That bass was very FAT!!! WOW!
Thanks for sharing and tight lines always.

Nice job out there. Fishing small bodies of water are fun, especially when you catch nice bass!
Thanks for sharing.
Tight lines.

Nice catch! I pretend to be a freshwater guy every once in a while, and the local ponds are a confidence killer for me haha. I may have to keep my freshwater fishing confined to Spring, or Lake Barrett haha

Fun day at the Murr today. Nothing big, but final count was 9. They seemed really pissed off today, fighting like crazy on my BFS gear, so even without that DD it was still a lot of fun.

Was on vacation and between doing lots around the house have not been fishing much. Yeah caught some dinks the week before last at Murray, but nothing to get too excited about. Since I haven't posted for a while, I decided to post a quick report from fishing the SD River this morning. The water has ...

They may not be exactly the same but they sure do act the same so I will be wrong when I say it but hey, it could be a hybrid now.

This one came from Harmony Grove. The orange was amazing.

Oceanside area, local, how about Lake San Marcos? I've heard good things about the bass fishing there too.

Otherwise Lower Otay would probably be best city lake if you had a boat or a kayak to fish outside the tules. No boat? From a shoreline, maybe Lake Murray for the most shore fishing options ...

Fished at El Capitan in the kayak on Sunday in calm sunny Fall conditions. Bluegill!

The bass were crashing around on top here and there, until early afternoon. They were very picky about eating. Fun watching and following the packs of them hunting in open water on the electronics, and I had a few ...

The only way to catch a carp on the fly consistently is to find the ones feeding. Otherwise it's almost impossible to catch one. Sure you may get lucky and catch an incidental one but I can guarantee it will not be duplicated. I've never been to Hodges but you'll need to do more observing than ...

After several coming unhooked and losing a few at the net, I finally landed my first carp today. They are surprisingly good fighters! 4lb main line to a 3/4 egg sinker, bait spring with dough and 2 hooks with corn kernels.

Went out on my buddies boat to San Diego bay on the blue dream YouTube video is at landofishing don’t know if YouTube urls are allowed

I took my dog to fiesta Island for a couple of hours. Caught 5 croaker throwing small grubs.

Homemade chatterbait, 10lb mono.

I took me 10 tries to get her in the net. Evertime I got her head in, she would back out and shoot down. This fish knew exactly what a net was and exactly how to avoid it. I finally got her in because she was ...

Howdy. I wasn't gonna write this up but a fellow sdfish member inspired me to do so. I did a turn around trip so two in a row. The first trip went as follows... Arrived in the zone early enough to get a 2 hour night bite which was super surprising to me, fished hard but nothing was cooperating. Grey ...

I was up early because of the time change. I checked the cams on Surfline and Torrey Pines looked very inviting. I fished the south of the side lagoon entrance around Tower 4. I read the beach and found a channel that was leading out from the shore. Around the channel there was a nice drop off and ...

Started the day by finding only 2 sand crabs, so I went with the old stand by.... Dried, frozen blood worms... I first tried Seal Beach for no bites on the SCs or BWs.. After wasting a couple of hours there, I made a run to Huntington Beach... Good choice... After a few misfires with 2 dinky BSP, I ...

If you're into perch, might suggest Silver Strand if its not too far a drive for you. The perch guys in SD have been killing it there this year, more slabs reported than I can remember past few years. A buddy got a dozen or so over the weekend, four at 13" and a 15"+ model. I've seen the pics. Go ...
