San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Haven’t been on the old site for quite some time. Then last week wanted to look something up and it as gone. Not sure what went down and honestly don’t care. I’m just glad to have a San Diego fish forum to see what’s hot in SDfishing

I thought I would start this, others should chime in for our collective expertise. I will add things often.

1st tip of the day: if you find knots in superlines (Nanofil, Gliss, extra smooth casting braid) slip prematurely using your regular knots, then there are several possible fixes:
1. Put the ...

Don't overthink colors. Bass only have 2 type of cones (most humans have 3, a few have 4) and can only see red thru green (red-orange-yellow-chartreuse-green). A bass has a hard time distinguishing yellow from white or blue from black or very dark green. Spotties havent' been studied but I suspect ...

did anyone let strackle know about the new site ?

he is such a hoot



darn.....


well...looks like he also has been banned from bd..huh, how bout that...KARMA IS REAL

only person ever to be banned from the old sdfish AND bd lol.gif

Hey Hookemdano.....see that that you found this SDFish ...

Took me 3 1/2 months to find this new site. Glad to see it.

The stupidity of the City of San Diego never ceases! They knew the dam was over 100 years old and they did nothing to plan for its replacement! Now they've wasted 11 billion gallons of water and I guarantee they'll raise your rates to make up for it!!! Morons!!

I came across this and wanted to share. Kinda crazy right?

You guys can see a lot of comments already made in my SD River post about this fish.

Just scroll down in my post.

The original story in WON said he had a 20 minute span to fish and after photos he released it
back in the river.

Here are a couple pics ...

Twas the day after Christmas and I headed out, with my trusty old float tube in search of a trout. Mist hung o're the lake in the crisp morning air, I pulled on my fins and kicked out with a flair.

Armed with my new bait finesse reel and rod, forty pounds of trout lures (some that looked rather odd ...

Well, my fishing year ended with not much of a bang up in prairieland. Most of the lakes to the north of where I live are frozen over, and much of the north end of Flaming Gorge is frozen over also. SinceI have no desire to shuffle out on frozen water, I have been driving south to hit warmer areas ...

Last fish of the year. Chunky Bass from Wohlford

On a day like today where we are experiencing lots and lots of rain and I am not fishing, I woke up early, grabbed a cup of coffee and started my morning off checking out bass fishing videos on YouTube. It is amazing how many bass fishing videos are out there. I kept watching more and ...

So it snowed a lot around Christmas and new years. I caught my first fishies of the year on the 5th, in a quick session at Antelope Draw in Utah. I caught 4 rainbows of no significant size....but fish are fish, especially in the dead of winter. Most of Flaming Gorge is quickly icing over in Wyoming ...

Today was the day that I decided to try out a spot that I had scouted out back in February at Flaming Gorge. It's always trout season up here, but spring brings the smallies around the rock piles, and I have always wanted to catch a small mouth bass, especially seeing as how I miss the green bassies ...

Every few years we get a few new fishermen on here that could use this knowledge.

Half of the patterns we use to catch Bass involve the bait getting swallowed. A hook is caught in the gut of the bass, making it hard to remove. If you just pull it straight out you’re killing the fish. There’s a ...

After some snowy spring weather, we finally had a short spell of warm weather up here in Wyoming. But right away, we got cold rain and blustery winds. But I did a quick drive (or as quick as can humanly possible, anyway) up into the Uintas mountains and was delighted to find no snow anywhere except ...
