San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I’m glad you like your new fishfinder. Always fun to check out different water depths, structure and fish alerts… but It’s too bad it couldn’t alert you of an “excessive talking Vinny alert” when we met …..ha ha
Again, it was great meeting you guys and hopefully your next trip down to Murray the ...

Nice job out there! A little bit more action than Murray eh? 12 bass and nine of them on crank baits…. I bet that was fun. Great pics and thanks for sharing. Tight lines always.

Yeah, I heard about that 14 pounder and with all those trout being stocked I imagine there’s a lot of big bass in there. That water is pretty darn clear so I bet many of those bass are pretty smart.

Just to add my 2 cents: Everyone has their way of rigging it, but this is the way I used to rig the IKA.

I use a weedless wire hook and a nail weight in the back end. Ready for action

Really enjoyed your post and especially your video and hearing your story of the monster bass you caught at Miramar years ago. I could just visualize how exciting that must’ve been. That must’ve been absolutely crazy when you landed it. Look forward to many many more of your posts and videos.

McFish texted me this morning and wanted to know if I was fishing?
I said not today and after finishing my breakfast,I headed to the post office, then to the grocery store and after taking care of a few chores around the house, I kept thinking about McFishes' text and thought...... hey, why not ...

I usually just fish a Tokyo Rig with a crawfish trailer or a senko. After losing that bass on a Tokyo Rig with a crawfish trailer, I stuck
to it for a while with no other takers. Then I tried senkos in a few different colors as a trailer, then a 7" Roboworm and back to a
6" Roboworm. It was funny ...

Are you guys trying to make me go broke?
Talking about some cool bait that I’m gonna have to probably order some on tackle warehouse now that you are talking about it………ha ha

Nice job Vinny.
Thanks BigC.
The best thing about the river is there are no permits to buy. I do not go very often, but imagine each time I go
I am saving money. That saved money can go to buying "cool" new things like the Yamatanuki baits that JWall and
CorsoEnthusiast were talking about. I ...

Dude you are throwing a hardware store out there!! Nice fat one too 👏

His garage looks like a Bass Pro Shop....

I might be the only person here with worse Gear Acquisition Syndrome than Vinny :lol:


Based on all the photos that you have send me, I can honestly say that you may have a ...

Nice job out there @Dannicus
That BFS gear really has been working very well for you.
Maybe see you out there next week.
Always enjoy your posts and tight lines

Have not been to Murray for a while....so I figured...ah, what the heck.
The few times I have gone the last few months...just catching some small clones and dinks here and there so I have not posted any fish reports. I have enjoyed reading other fish reports and great so see guys posting a little ...

Way to get out there and get a few. The city screwing around the water levels has affected the fishing everywhere. Something tells me you’re going to hook on to a big one soon though. Me? Maybe Minnesota in June.

Have to deal what is handed to us even though sometimes it sucks. Never can predict ...

While I do agree with what camobass said above..........personally I just don't like seeing someone harvest a fish during the spawn. I do understand that there are many anglers out there that are fishing not only for fun, but to bring something home to eat. I have to respect others who maybe the ...

I had others plans and errands to run and wish I could have fished today, but when you told me you and your brother would
be out with your new tubes at Murray, I just had to stop by the lake. It was great to see you out there and I have never fished
out of one, but you guys looked comfortable like ...

Just for today..... I am going to save you guys from reading me babbling on and on.
So here are a few pics of some fish I caught in (McFish will be shocked again) water depths
around 25-35 feet of water.
Hopefully the warmer weather will spur up more action in closer. Tight lines :-)

Hover Bait ...

Nice job out there!

Shooooot. Absolutely NOTHING wrong fishing live bait.


camobass You are a well rounded experienced angler and I have no doubt that you can always catch fish on any type of artificial baits on your wealth of fishing experience. If you decide to toss a crawdad or some type of live bait, more ...

Nice healthy bass…..looks like you had fun!!!
Thanks for sharing

Can someone please explain how to correct my photo? I know it’s gotta be something simple but I can’t figure it out. Thanks


Pic is fixed.
Nice job out there. That was a fat one.


Here ya go for your question.... it is pretty easy once you do it.
