San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Believe it or not, Sweetwater is trying to get FEMA money for damage from "flooding" preceded by "drought" at Loveland Reservoir, and other insurance money too. Some of it is for the fishing float and "recreation trails" that were damaged by "flooding". Really unbelievable. They will likely just ...

Here is the https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/17LkD39cJZoatD9RuunGEEynFy06fnqcOdwEuPvDi9QU/edit?usp=sharing that I envisioned/crowd-sourced and my wife and I put together as a wish list for trail and access improvements for Loveland. (Yes, it's okay to laugh at it)
This is part of the mediation ...

I just wanted to take a moment to thank “Suicide Fish”. They have saved many a Fisherman’s day. If you hit your favorite Lake and can’t find a bite in all the usual areas, Suicide Fish will maul your offering, three feet from the boat. Suicide Fish will boil in the shallows and make a wake to your ...

Because the city of San Diego is in charge…

First, people complain there is no more space to build, there’s a housing crisis.
The bill hasn’t passed so everyone needs to relax. Crying about a lot of land none of you will ever step foot in or intended to but when it may be sold or is gone, will cry about.
If it ever does go for sale, it’s ...

One caveat about San Vicente: if you’re not comfortable dealing with wake from ski boats, go on a Monday. They are out in force on the weekends and typically don’t have any consideration for anyone else on the water. It’s a miracle there isn’t an accident there every single weekend with those ...

Is that the fish Snag Long posed with?


Pretty funny, but no. I caught that at Lake Miramar in 1998 on a live waterdog. 19lbs 4oz. One of my favorite fishing memories of all time. And it jumped 3 times!


That’s awesome. That pic had the same patina as that one that long didn’t catch ...

The chance of an El Nino bringing above average rainfall is 50/50! Last year was an La Nina year and we had way above average rainfall...so are we just going to dump half of our water supply into the ocean every year? So, if the rain doesn't show this winter do we have to fill our lakes back up with ...

Fished San V a few times this past week and both days had a fun bite on breaking fishing all around the lake. Best action was before the breeze picked up from 8-12pm. Quick accurate casts and small flukes worked on or just under the surface was the key to success. A few fish also came on the dead ...

If you're going to chase the breakers, you're going to need some patience(sorry Vinny)! I got on the water at 6:00, with a decent Santa Ana blowing. Since I was only going after topwater fish, that wasn't really helpful! About 8:00, the wind turned around to an onshore breeze and the fish started to ...

After listening to the local news last night I headed out this morning half expecting to find Noah and his Ark out there to avoid the flooding!

Pretty sunrise this morning and only two other boats out when I launched and according to the worker at the ramp they left fairly early so I was, literally ...

Crawdads vs. Jigs: Which Will Catch More?
https://youtu.be/aooAO1DD0OE

Hey all I hope you’re staying dry. Headed out to El Capitan this Sunday and decided I would fish crawdads. I used to love fishing crawdads and haven’t done it for a while because many of my old crawdad holes no longer hold them ...

Wow. The lake and water management in this county is appalling.

I would like to know who uses the excuse "Southern California is in a drought and water needs to be conserved." Clearly that isn't the case anymore not because they are draining the lakes because the "dam is too old to hold." If it was such a real problem, they wouldn't continue to build sardine ...

The City is trying its best to ruin the lake!

"Ramona eagle enthusiast Mike Long has a passion for conservation"
Except when he is using a 5/0 XXX Owner Treble to snag spawning bass!

This is so sad that the time is coming when
boats can’t launch and nobody can do anything about it.

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

How to spot misinformation: Post articles from your favorite point of view and keep arguing your point until you get to call the opposing side a name. Don't give up. You'll convince the other side eventually and then you'll win. This is the way mainstream media works. I hope this has cleared up any ...
