San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

By the way @mcfish.......I noticed you do not have an avatar so I found you a couple samples that you may want to use one…. or this one seems like a good choice...

“Fished the dropshot today for 31 fish!! With the best 31 totaling 32.7lbs!!” Sweet!!! Thank you StinkyPunky23. You proved(and what McFish also said) that using the drop shot really pays off. I need to try not so stubborn and stop using 5-10 other baits it before I finally go to a DS on a slow fish...

Funny! Don't tell Vinny that, he'll believe you.....

Geez…I just rigged up 10 fishing rods will drop shots.
I am ready for action.

Hey, if someone could let me know how to turn pictures around that would be great. Thanks! Nice job out there at Pelican Lake. You and your brother out in Minnesota for your once a year adventure and looks like you guys are having a blast. I straightened your pics out for you BigC, just like the ba...

I will read your fish report from last Monday again since they’ll be no report from this Monday. Looking forward to a fish report next Monday which seems so far away right now ha ha.

Many years ago while fishing Lake Poway, I was casting along the buoy lines as bass were chasing shad and saw a line tied to the buoy line. Naturally I had to see what was on the end and it was a trotline. I knew it was illegal and cut it off and started pulling it in. It seemed like it took forever...

Guys who forgot that Otay is closed the second Wednesday of the month like clockwork usually end up this day at Murray. I thought to myself, I could fish Murray this morning and post a report(like you guys haven't seen them before...ha ha), but decided to venture out to the SD River for a few hours ...

I just remembered...that's my Whopper Plopper...yeah...that's it! So now you’re gonna tell me you lost that bait at El Cap years ago and somehow it found its way over to the dam and traveled where they’re letting the water out and ended up down the River where I was fishing. Sounds logical. Just se...

Thanks for sharing @Hellavate. Every bass fisherman has their favorites. I agree with @camobass that a chocolate blue vein T-Rigged worm overall has been a winner for several decades. Lots of them have been made over the years(I really liked Tightline worms and of course the Delong Otay Specials alw...

Looks like you guys are having lots of fun from the pics (I straightened them again....the invoice will be under your welcome mat when you get home...ha ha ). Thanks for sharing with us folks on how the fishing is back at Pelican Lake. I can now see why it is always on your agenda to to back to Minn...

Here are just some of my favorites as far as colors over the last few years..... Yamamoto Senkos: Green Pumpkin Lg Red Flakes, Purple Pearl w Bl Flakes and Dark Pumpkin Lg Bk Flakes. For Craw Baits: Strike King and Googan- I mostly use the same colors in both. California Craw and Watermelon Red Flak...

I'm thinking Vinny's garage has way more worms than the Worm Store ever had! Please do not look in my garage! I do have a few of your favorite color worms laying around and when you completely run out of the few you may have, I will be willing to maybe sell you a few for a nice reasonable price...h...

Actually your tip on fishing the river is what really paid off. Thank you.

One of my favorites is...after recognizing that I am about to fish, fishing or coming in from fishing, the people that come up and ask ........ "What type of fish are in here?" I then have to proceed to name each species while thinking in my mind that the majority of people who ask this ty...

OMG..That is classic!
Like whatever you say or were going to say in response doesn't not mean anything because his buddy caught a bigger one than what you caught or are going to catch. ( Most likely it was a 5lb bass anyway that his buddy assumed weighed 10lbs..ha ha)

Great job out there. Thanks for sharing the excitement with us. Tight lines

Just a heads up to anyone heading to Lake Murray with a boat as the water level is now very, very low and you may not be able to launch. Even my buddy Paul went there to launch his bass boat over the weekend and took off to to El Cap because he told me about the low water at the ramp. I went over th...

As I arrived at Murray, a guy towing a bass boat was leaving as there was no way to launch a bass boat now as the water level to the end of the boat ramp is now just a few feet. I started to unload my kayak quickly and low and behold who pulls up right behind me....@McFish. I told him the lake was c...

NIce job to both of you on those nice looking chunks. I know Murray is the end of the line for SD Water. So why such a big fluctuation in water level latey? Thanks! I heard it second hand about the water was going to be lowered for the 4th of July firework show and then also heard they will be work...

Nice job out there @DarkShadow. I fixed the pics and looks like you are having lots of fun on the water. Finesse jigs working for you and that's great! The bass see so many worms and they probably think..hey..what the heck is this and gobble it down. I caught some bass earlier in the year on Keitech...
