San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Went to El Cap today, pay at the gate early. Many others there also. I knew going in I could even get skunked. No top water bites, no chatter bait bites. Switched up to throwing DS and texas rig worm at the bait being chased. I had 8 by 8am. Now at Barrett this year at 8am at least 30 most of the ...

Now that I have been fishing with BFS I fight myself to use my normal rods that work curtain baits better. When using my regular stuff, it's like is this rod even going to bend on a hookup (They do). The BFS stuff has helped my tired hands and the fights are so much more fun. It's my new norm.

The rocks by the boat ramp use to have fish all over, now nada.
On another note I'm sore today from rocking and rolling from boats zipping all over. Barrett doesn't have that either.

Thanks for the repot. Good luck tomorrow!

Nice! Those crappie are big there. Healthy looking bass. No top water? I know @early release moves a lot and now he has a emotor. No telling where he went. @CorsoEnthusiast gets around. Haven't fished with @pourboy yet, maybe someday.

Nice flips! I would take either day.

I use a throw square float cushion.

In line at 3:30 Dave and Chuck loaded and gone at Pigs. I take a while to pack the tube. Did my usual to get the skunk off before I set out, used my same texas rig from El Cap except no barb.. Lite wind already, headed across the lake. Topwater I had blow ups no solid hook ups, throwing the TR after ...

Dave and Chuck

Nicely done Dan. I think you could get busted with that much grass.

Top water would of been nice. I thought I could travel with out concern. I know better now, looking at options for a bigger TM. Tommy said he talked to you and Dave.
In the picture of you two, I could hear you guys talking, you should be fishing when Dave talks it's fish on.

Way to change things up and had a good day. I have been trying different things some don't work some your like have do that more often.

Good day! What's with the second pic, no rocks behind him.

Congrats on getting an upgrade! My 1st tube was also truck tire covered. Pain in the *ss to get in and of with fins.

Not a skunk! We all have those days! You are probably back out today taking some pics.

Nicely done! Them biggins know how to shake a hook.

What's with the bobber stoppers?

Early in and on the water in the dark. breezy no top water hook ups, would throw on missing for the bite. Fishing was pretty much like last trip. Picking them up on DS, TR and split shotting. Moved around looking for new places. Went to the dock fish were busting on the deep end on small bait. Hit ...

My spot lock!

Sorry not for sale. It has custom loops in the paracord so I can face any way I want.
