Update as of 26 June 2023 - The pond has lots of large bluegills!

After a couple of weeks of fishing the pond, there is an abundance of bluegills 8 to 10 inches. Also, with the water level slightly down (2 feet), there are fathead minnows, and the bass are still that 8 to 12 inches. I've started ...

I am re-posting this as a few out there still are having problems with their photos....hope this helps

In the A nnouncements Support and Feedback area of SDFish there is a post about how to fix a sideways photo by rotating it.

I thought I would also give a basic step by step example(with ...

Haha, that was my post! I found it dead, floating near the mats along the shoreline. Here's an image for anyone who didn't see it on the original SDFish.

Heavy rain associated with Hurricane Hilary is also expected to impact California and the Southwest starting Saturday and lasting through early next week, with peak impacts expected on Sunday and Monday.

As of Friday at 8:00 A.M., Hurricane Hilary remains a large and powerful Category 4 Hurricane ...

This is how you start the morning with a beautiful 6lb fish on cranks. To be continued hopefully this morning. Toss in a 2.2lb crappie now.

Well after my last great session at Lake Hodges I went back yesterday and was on the water to early my old body was saying to me. I wanted to make it back to the structure I fished with great success my last time. It was a hell of a swim backwards even though i was using my new drill paddle i made ...

Some of you guys have known me and my family for a while. We ALL fish. Well, we’ve been teaching my youngest (Isabella) how to use a proper spinning setup for the last year. She’s 6yrs mind you. She’s now become sufficient enough to cast, reel on her own. Just the basic worm set up. Mostly just ...

With excessive heat warnings, I decided to go over to Murray this morning before the heat arrives. I am so used to fishing out of a kayak or boat with lots of tackle but I did not want to carry a lot so I gathered a small assortment of reaction baits and off I went. I decided to just fish off the ...

Well, I don't fish the lakes as much as I should. Ocean fish just taste so good=)
I had a good friend (A saltwater guy too) ask if we could get his Granddaughter out on the lake. San V being my favorite, that where we headed.

Got there at 5:20 Thursday, 2 boats ahead of us. They let us up hill ...

I’ve notice several “fishing” posts that seemed to be spam

Hey fellow bass fishermen, if you ever fished Barrett (God's gift to mankind, well, to bass fishermen anyways), or if you ever thought about it, we (those that go out AND the lake staff), could use one minute of your time to help with a' little' problem. Would you please? Here's what's up (I posted ...

This clip is from a few years back, yes..but its still my all time favorite Night fishing clip.Gonna be doing some night action coming up in September as well. Anyone else ever do this? Guys, its super fun!

Got in and out before 9:30 when the zoo showed up in force. Caught a couple of shoreline dinks then moved out to the 20ft zone for 3 bigger models. All caught on splitshot 4.5” roboworms.

Still did not see any topwater action......pretty strange as in the beginning of June it just started to go off and then pretty much died.
Drastic changes in the water levels definitely had some type of affect in the overall fishing as normally topwater action would be pretty
much wide open in the ...

Cheating on a person is bad and if going behind Lake Murray's back to fish Lake Miramar is bad....I am guilty. Headed up to Miramar once again with my kayak. It has been so much fun fishing up there and just had to go back. Had a little late start as I did not get on the water till almost 7am and no ...

Sounded like you had a good time up there. Surprised there's still so much snow pack, but we were at about 200% this year from the rains. :twisted:


you and me both. I was expecting to see some snow. But definitely did not expect to spend half the hike in it. At around 8000 ft elevation it was ...

Many campground closed due to swampy conditions.
My jam is flicking spinners in little creeks. High, fast water limits presentation in most spots. Gonna hit parts of the San Joaquin tomorrow. Gonna have to be past the summit by 7 am to avoid the shuttle. The road to the postpile is open but the ...

Last week after a year of forced hiatus, I finally got out fishing and had a good day. But it only gets better, because this week I got to share it with and old friend. Like last week, it was a short day of about 3 1/2 hours. I always feel pressure to catch some fish when someone goes with me, but ...

My favorite Lake is getting over the water fluctuating blues. Had a good day.

The kids have been ready for another trip since we did so well @ Hodges a couple of months ago. I've been hearing the bluegill bite was on @ Otay so I thought we would give it another try. I say another try as I've taken the kids here a few times and we never seem to have a good day. My son labeled ...
