San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Always look forward to your annual Minnesota trip reports Big C. Those are some really healthy bass and I could see why you head back there each year to fish Pelican Lake. Judging from those pics of you guys and those bass, it looks like you are having a great time. Keep on catching them and look ...

Rigged up a number of rods with baits and got my boat ready for a morning adventure to Murray. Packed my lunch and drinks and I
was on my way. I was daydreaming hoping for some top water action and then suddenly reality hit. OMG!... I totally spaced and
forgot today is the second Tuesday of the ...

Fish was really healthy for its size and had a fat belly…… anyway not sure about the weight. To be safe I’ll guess a little over three. Highlight was not getting skunked after a bad start to the day.

I literally made the same mistake brother, but pivoted and headed to El Cap. Nice fatty you caught there!


I made this mistake shortly after the city decided to close Murray the second Tuesday of the month. I never made
the mistake since because I always knew to not go to Murray that day. I ...

Who among us hasn’t been halfway down the proverbial El Monte Road on the wrong day and said “Oh Sh**!! Good job as always VB!


That would sure be a bummer heading to El Cap and realizing it was closed. I know me and think I would say at least 20, I mean 30
or more words than "Oh Sh**! :-)
That ...

That El Monte road never seems to end the older I get.
Years ago it seemed shorter...ha ha


Well fortunately San V was open so we ...

After driving up to find Murray closed on Tuesday, I decided to give it a go this morning.
Seeing that I already caught 2 big catfish in May fishing for bass, I somehow managed to catch another catfish that gobbled down my Texas rigged brush hog. I thought at first it was a nice bass for about 20 ...

Awesome Vinny. Now we know how you get all those lures... You've been cat burglaring Mcfish. Be honest.


If you saw my Tackle Warehouse purchase history, you would see that I am not even close to the point of having to cat burglar tackle from McFish. Besides, he only mostly has 2 inch Robo worms ...

Looks like a fun morning for you and your son.
Glad you didn’t lose that little crank bait because there’s a lot of stick ups there waiting to steal it from you.

Hey McFish…That catfish hat you posted makes me laugh, but in a way it’s kind of funny as I have caught three nicely sized catfish in about a month while fishing for bass. I wonder if I try to catch a catfish if I’ll catch a big bass??? Most likely not.

I read on Facebook that Murray was getting lowered and that the ramp would be out of commission. Is that not true, or did it not happen yet?


The ramp will most likely be out of commission.
Usually every year because of the 4th of July fireworks show at Lake Murray they lower the water each week ...

Just a pic of my third cat I have caught while fishing for bass at Lake Murray. This one gobbled up a brush hog. It took about 20 seconds
as I was thinking it was a nice bass, but soon realized it was probably a cat. This was the smallest of the 3 and weighed 6.75lbs.
The point east of the boat dock ...

Here is what is on the SD City of San Diego Site:

Nice job out there. The pics tell the story as it is always fun to fish with an old fishing buddy. You guys
probably caught up on lots of fish stories no doubt. That was nice of you letting him catch one more than you
but that was probably only a one time deal. Anyway, I enjoyed your post and so ...

First of all...
Hey there....is anybody bass fishing anymore?
I did not go fishing for a week(which felt like a month) and always look for new bass fishing reports daily(actually sometimes hourly)and lately they are rare to find. It makes the site a lot more fun to see how people are doing out ...

It’s funny I think I see you out there a lot too. It’s easy to recognize you because there’s always a lot of splashing around your float tube and your rods always seem to be bent.

Still, not wanting to see poor Vinny to into apoplectic withdrawals due to lack of fish porn here are a few pictures from last week's lakes.

That is freaking hilarious! Thank you Dannicus for the post as I am feeling so much better and hope others will follow and give us updates on your latest ...

Rob, I enjoy your bass fishing videos that you have shared with us. You have gone on lots of bass fishing adventures and
they are more exciting to watch than to just read about. Hope life is treating you well after the work place we both worked
at. I am loving retired life. On this one, I tend to ...

Wow...hitting all the lakes and pulling in bass. Very nice!
My Googan Kracken' craws and Strike King Rage craws look like little wimps compared to that husky craw bait you are throwing.
Looks like it gets lots of action and you always find some new cool baits that the bass like to gobble up. Thanks ...

Glad “they” did not melt… because it would be a long painful walk back to your truck with your float tube. Yeah, the water is really going down pretty quick and thank goodness you have a tube so you can still get out there and continue to catch bass.
