San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I tried to find you info as this page on Lake Henshaw online opens:
https://dbw.parks.ca.gov/BoatingFacilities/f/194

But from that page, I tried to get into their website, but it will not open.

I guess your best best is to call the lake and ask them

Not sure where I wanted to go this morning so I loaded up my kayak and made a quick decision to head up to Lake Miramar. With a little fog over the water I searched for something on top, but still not really happening yet other than a few that rippled the surface in about an hour of looking. So I ...

Those were some nice fish you’ve got today Dan. I bet it was exciting as heck to have bass blowup on a frog through those grass mats. Also, that was a giant bluegill. Thanks for sharing and tight lines always buddy.

I also need to get out there a little more often. Topwater action is still not really happening but can take off pretty soon.
Tight lines always Chris.

Fished Miramar this morning from 0830-1100. It was pretty slow for me. Caught a couple on the Texas rigged 7” robo. Nothing up top.



Yeah, I experienced the same thing on Wednesday. No top water action. I know the last few years in August and September it was going off. Hopefully it’ll start ...

Decided to skip a trip to the Lake of D & K due to hot weather. Oh course I was bored after my coffee and biscotti and kept bouncing the idea that maybe I could just head down to the SD River or Murray and fish from shore for couple hours before it gets too hot. Finally I grabbed 2 rods and a ...

Now you feel my shore pounder blues...


Today I was in a hurry in the morning and tried to consolidate tackle quickly so things were pretty light,but it sure is different when you fish from shore. Standing and trying to cast in tight spots and then realizing that a lot of the baits I normally ...

“Ouch!”
That quote was so funny I almost choked on my coffee, from laughing when I read it. Now you have me thinking maybe I need to upgrade my protection possessions if I fish from shore down there again.

Nice job out there Robert!
Frogging'....I mean Toading it!
I don't know why, but there is so much excitement when I hear guys talk about using frogs, but I just never gave it the time they deserve in all my years of fishing. You look like you had a blast out there and I really need to one day start ...

Yeah, Miramar is pretty interesting lake. Two prior trips were really fun as the bass were on the chew and even a few healthy ones. But my last trip was definitely a lot tougher. I guess that applies to most lakes but always fun to explore something different.
Thanks for sharing and tight lines ...

Last time I fished Miramar I got that awful SKUNK smell all over me, so in my book you did well, the last time I able to land six Bass was at Lake Jennings that was a couple of months ago.
I noticed there’s never any one posting from Jennings, do you ever fish Jennings I never here from any of ...

Got on the water around 7:20 and was thinking of flippin' the tulles, but with bass breaking the surface here and there, that flippin idea never materialized. It was frustrating to say the least
as the bass were up and down fast again so instead of wasting lots of time chasing them(most were pretty ...

Great job, man! I went there yesterday for a couple of hours with only 3 to show for it. A much different bite than the week prior. I did hear the fish giggling at me as well. By the way I think you mean 8/1 for the title, correct?


Yeah, I saw that "7/1 date" also. I was going to ask Dan the ...

All bass were different and were caught on baits in the pics. Sorry to pop your bubble Colombo.

U know what they say about a guy that fishes pink worm 🪱 🤷‍♂️ I bought a 75 gunfish bout month ago for Murray I will get there and see u im sure soon 👍🎣 great catches today not just dinks busting


Thanks Robert and tight lines to ya.
Ok...lets take a look at this so MCFish can understand it ...

I like the way you did your photos in groups of 3. Very convenient for the viewing public=D
I bet the bass 100% thought they were hitting a nice bluegill when they saw the fat senko.


I tried something different in the pics just to show the different baits or colors used
and thought it would be ...

Hey, glad you got out there and gave it a go.
I stopped by the lake for a few minutes to look around and did not see really anyone much fishing. There was a guy across the lake on the point in a float tube …maybe that was you? Murray is an interesting lake and sometimes everything works out well ...

When the water was higher, probably three years ago or more ago I caught a lot of bass flipping. I would flip Tokyo rigs 90% of the time deep in the tulles and did pretty well over the years with plastic worm or craw trailers. But ever since they lowered the water and never raised it back up I just ...

Knowing it was going to get very hot quickly,I wanted to get there early, but got delayed sorting though all types of tackle at the last second to bring so did not arrive at he river till 10 minutes to 7. The sun was already out as last time it was over cast for at least an hour. Tossed some ...

Always have fun fishing up at Miramar.....just don't like traffic on 15 and 8 east especially on the way home. Lots of memories flash through my head every time I fish there. I really enjoyed your video and thanks for sharing it with us. I seem to be always thirsty after your videos...ha ha.
Gotta ...
