San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Hit up San V for my first trip out of the new year. Got a late start. Hit the water at about 10 and fished until 2. Well Hell, I never got a single bite :cry: I started in Toll Road hitting both the backs of the coves and the points out to 50+ft. Saw some 2-3lb cruisers in the backs but they were ...

Moose, we had the same experience at Otay yesterday. There were 4 of us and we were all doing different things. It just wasn't a fishy day.

If this group of guys got skunked, there’s no hope for the rest of us.

When we were all fishing Sunday I was chatting with Doug AKA Early release , and told him that I couldn't honestly remember the last trip where I got skunked....well.... Not only did I jinx myself I got the whole group too. DOH!

So I returned to Murray yesterday determined to smell better, and the ...

The dinky dinks are the only thing I’ve been catching so far this year too. I feel your pain. Bring on spring!

I got on the lake at 8 am with trepid hope in my heart, tied a little 2" crankbait on my BFS combo and kicked out with a silent humble prayer to the fishing gods. About 20 minutes in I felt a bump and low and behold...A FISH! I have to tell you I got far too excited over a panfish, but after the ...

If our river had a faster flow, let's say "whitewater speed", that fish may have fought light a 5 pounder?
Keep up the good life!

Nice job!!
Are you having to fizz them?

The dreaded ice jig..good job! Seems like they're either the killer bait, or a skunk finder! They're either on or they're totally off....I knew you would find the deep bite soon!

Yeah one of the reasons I have kinda avoided fishing deep is the whole fizzing thing. I have read about how to do it, but the idea kinda freaks me out a bit. I didn't have as good of a day as Vinny yesterday, but I did find a few chunkers hanging out between 15 and 20 feet.

Amazing job as always ...

Thanks for the video. I will have to try it. I have a couple fizz pens I made.

Thanks for the video Vinny, that was a pretty good explanation. Now I just need to start catching fish again.

Touche..

Chuck ( 619bassin ) and I hit lake Baccarac in Mexico for the last few days. We had fished the lake together four years ago and had a blast back then.

Left San Diego via Tijuana to Los Mochis Sunday morning, a 1.5 hour flight and a 2.5 hour van ride, arriving there late Sunday afternoon. Grabbed ...

At what depth do you need to fizz a bass? I don't livewell them and always release after i catch. Havent ever seen any go belly up even the ones i mark at 45ft-50ft. Im all about respecting our resource btw. I dont even net or flip bass to preserve their slime coat. I lip them unhook and release.

Love the Social D hat!
Nice day on the water for sure!

Looks like a couple of nice ones.
Hope we get some much need rain.
Thanks for the post!
