San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I wanted to fish Murray this morning even though the water level is down to inches from where the boat ramp ends. I figured this may
be my last trip for a bit until the water rises again so I carefully guided my kayak just over the rocks and headed out
in search of shad balls and bass. There are a ...

I saved a lot of gas and aggravation this year as I was almost there every Friday with my kayak enjoying some fun bass fishing in previous years. My last trip there was in the beginning of May and I threw everything and the kitchen sink that normally works and it resulted in only one bass. Nothing ...

I can definitely see why El Cap is your favorite body of water.
What can I say but "Awesome report, pics and fishing!" Dang...while I sat drinking coffee early these past few days, you were
pulling in bass after bass which must of been really a blast. When normally a sore arm is a bad thing, I am ...

Hey @McFish…..Sorry to hear how many times you post stories recently that somehow disappear. I hope you don’t think I had anything to do with it. I enjoy your reading your posts and glad this one appeared. Always fun to see your fishing adventures especially on “McFish Monday’s.” Nice job out and ...

Was thinking of hitting the SD River with my kayak this morning but changed my mind and instead headed out to it El Cap. I must say thank you to Jeromy(#CorsoEnthusiast) for providing added inspiration to help make my decision. The weather was crisp this morning and lake was very glassy but knew it ...

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 ...

Great job out there!!!

I now consider that road as dangerous as LA traffic at rush hour….. ha ha

8A3F1F38-116F-4514-87FB-D895E5A4DEA9.jpegIf I had to pick one color; the Green Pumpkin Purple 6” Roboworm has caught at every lake I’ve fished here. Seems to work in both clear and stained water. Any combination of brown/purple, green pumpkin/purple, green pumpkin/blue seems to be pretty universal ...

That is awesome Mike. The thrill and excitement Isabella must have got catching that bass and she had a heck of great father as a teacher. She will remember that moment for years to come. I remember my father taking me fishing and your post brought back lots of sentimental memories. Thank you for ...

Geez… the mystery at Sutherland continues and sadly has kept away many anglers including myself. At least you’re picking up some bass and that one looks nice. I am almost tempted to drive up there because you know how much fun it is when I can be there as your personal depth finder… and share ...

Upper Otay has been repeatedly tested for oxygen and it remains super low to zero. No point in putting fish in if they cannot respire.

As far as Sutherland, we shocked that lake this spring and there were fish EVERYWHERE...600-700 bass over 12" in 6 hours. I know everyone C&R's just about every ...

I would first start with a little larger hook...........than the ones that @McFish gave you.

Thanks for bringing up that question as I often wondered how the afternoon or late bite was. Years ago the bite at El Cap would go off late in the day. From what I remember we would fish until almost dark and often caught more bass between 4:30 until we left. At San V, my buddy and I would make a ...

Recently after moving lots of junk around in my garage( while getting rid of junk also), my boat sat there looking like a storage unit. There was junk beside it, under it and on it.,,,it was crazy! So I went a little crazy on Sunday afternoon and moved everything around so that I could actually pull ...

Lots of bass action CorsoEnthusiast to say the least!.
Those are great pics that capture the fun of catching lots of bass with your brother.
It is safe to say the the action will continue for both of you the next 2 weeks. After
that, we will look forward to seeing your bass fishing adventures and ...

After I caught one on a T-rigged craw bait...I saw a few bass on the finder and thought why not drop a spoon down there just for the
heck of it.I caught a bass and then a few more followed but they were pretty small. It was funny as I could feel a boat approaching and
wish I could have taken a pic ...

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 ...

Went over this morning(7/13) to look around and the water is creeping its way
slowly towards the bottom of the boat ramp.

When it’s no longer of any use to you, you can auction off that Ranger hat to the highest bidder. That thing’s loaded with fish catching mojo!


That was really funny. I finally got a new black Ranger hat because my old black one turned into a light tan color. We all may have a favorite fishing ...
