San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Great story and "exciting" experience. Thanks for sharing. I guess I need to get over there again soon. I haven't been there since the spring.

After reading Mr. Vinny's glowing report on Miramar yesterday, guess where I went today...yep, Murray! It started out good with a couple topwater fish, but within 10 minutes they were gone! I heard that the day before the busters were at the other end of the lake, so I kicked all the way across the ...

I'm sure it was a bat ray that took your rod........

Got to the lake early water level normal today fished around the toulies in yak w a friend w both got 7 or 8 clones each was fun nothing great buddy’s r yaking Miramar again tomm I don’t have time to yak I have couple hours midday to kill so gonna try shore there maybe get lucky

That Bass has "All head no body". Sounds like a beer review. Thanks for sharing!

Got rental w friend again today otay water down even more grass is thick around edges we fished basically around both sides Harvey some in middle the otay arm after 12 I got about 10 clones on craw my buddy did better on Dropshot robo seemed to b what they wanted

Thanks for sharing. The first pic looks like you were fishing in February… ha ha Just kidding!
Anyway glad you could hook up some bass. Better than doing yardwork like I did today. Tight lines always buddy. :-)


Yeah was chilly with the wind never blew less the I’d say 7mph to start at 5am got ...

Maybe getting out there is why you always catch fish as opposed to occasional anglers like myself. Always like your entertaining reports.

Spent the first 3 weeks of vacation camped at Cottonwood AZ. Took day trips to the Grand Canyon, Tuzigoot, Montezuma Castle and all the surrounding monuments and towns. I never did locate a good spot to launch my tube so I didn't fish for 3 weeks.

The DTs started to set in. Uncontrollable shaking ...

1 fish, no matter what size, is infinitely better than no fish at all!

You mentioned that the amount of Bass you catch doesn’t correlate with the number of times you fish. My Dad told me the best thing about fishing is practice practice practice. How many perfect casts result in catching a Bass. Not every one, but a lot. I watch my buddies not casting to areas I ...

Great job VB! We are always learning, right?

Nice angling as usual. What is that craw bait? Looks enticing.

Wow, you’re drinking again and even before 8:30 AM. So sad.

Yes..diet Pepsi no caffeine, followed with a nonfat milk chaser.....

Vinny stopped learning in the 90s...already knew everything! The only thing he doesn't know..online banking! He still makes 4 or 5 trips a week to do his banking....maybe a certain special teller????
Or...it's next to a Chick-fil-a.....


He does ...

I fished yesterday for 7, all small. First time on that lake in about 5+ years. I watched a boat dropping brush weighted tree limbs on one of the points. Don’t know who is doing it but I don’t think it will improve the fishing

By sneak I mean that most people have to work on Wednesdays...Got to Hodges, bought a ticket and drove over to the other side (which is the only side for me I guess) but half way there I remembered leaving my sunglasses on top of the ticket machine (oops) so I drove back and by some miracle they ...

Ya I saw the one by the fence wed, I remember catching a few on that little point one in a while

Well I took my car to mechanic for oil leak so I took a break all week got to cap early 530 this morning no yak on foot I decided to fish the rock pile next to ramp boats still launching water level hasn’t dropped much 👍 was the right move I got 6 in first hour then I decided to cover ground wasn’t ...
