San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I promised I'd post more on here when it got brought back so here's the scoop from Sunday! Got a late start on the water around 2. Started out trying some new tactics with squarebills around pigs for no love. Tried the ned for a bit with a few short bites. Switched to the fly rod and headed up the ...

Hello all,

Had a fun day at Barrett. Started out in proper darkness and caught a large ( although in this group large sunfish is dangerous ) bluegill. He was 1 pound 9 ounces, which was as big as my average on bass today. Then puttered about for while. Finally got into some fish in Hauser. Then it ...

Arrived at 4am with RickM and we were super excited to experience the "new" lake, and indeed it definitely feels different with the water levels so high. Parking was great and the haul down with a battery and trolling motor was much easier since the dock was so close.

The boat ride to Hauser was ...

I had a last minute cancellation and was not having success finding a replacement. Therefore I decided a day at Barrett would be far more beneficial than the final two weeks of school "health section" in Science class for my son.

We arrived around 5 and once I woke my son up we loaded up and were ...

Hi all,

Chilly day at Barrett today. I think the air was about 50 or so and the wind was super chilly. Water temp has dropped a little, my reading was 70 everywhere and since the sun never showed it's face, it didn't warm up anywhere. I did Wilson's cove and got a few on jigs and crankbaits. Then I ...

Certainly not the Big B of old but still fun. Like a whole new lake with the level near full. All my spots of the previous years gone and replaced by new great looking zones. Took a while to find any numbers but they are there. Small plastics and senkos were working early. Angry slab bluegill ...

This was one of those days that we all been waiting for. I stopped at 50 bass, ALL on top water! By 9:30 I had 25, then found an area where they were chasing bait/shad and it was on. I used every top water bait I had and all worked, but the crawler caught the most. Had to leave at noon, left them ...

Well, Barrett of old is back as far as I am concerned. Chuck got 50 fish on Wednesday and yesterday I pulled in 40, 2 giant bluegills and lost more than I care to count. Water temp was 72-74 in the beginning of the day, warmest I saw was 79 in the shallow bays, by 1130. I also talked to a couple ...

Got most of the way beck in Hauser by 5:30. Our first stop yielded 10 on various flukes and shad roboworms thrown at trees and the banks. We kept hearing splashes behind us so made the decision to chase boilers midlake. Nice payoff as we bagged another 21 throwing and dragging swimming minnows. Got ...

Me and my boys were lucky enough to get back out there Saturday for one last go of the season. We did pretty good by our standards, but the fishing was much different (harder) than last weekend when they were practically jumping into the boat.

We were on the water by 6:30, fished for 12 hours, and ...

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 ...

I am new to this site and am not sure how this posting works.
When you post something does the reply go to your email or does it come back to this site?

Yes! Got my favorite fishing location a place of its own! Thank You Bassman!
Hitting the Estero in Ensenada, or catching roosters in Punta Arena - Post it here!
The Baja season will be cranking up soon, and I have plenty of trips booked - here we go!

I'm going to be moving to New England this fall. With only a few remaining months in SD, I knew that the one thing I absolutely had to do was fish Baja proper. I went once to Gonzaga with a couple friends on a road trip, and two weeks later went with my dad to Loreto via plane. Both trips were great ...

As I have mentioned in adjacent topic last week we went fishing at Bahia de LA. Days were mostly sunny with strong afternoon winds that slowed not much in the nights but the mornings were OK. Issak, our panguero was a commercial fisherman occasionally helping Octavio's sport fishing business. We ...
