San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Rat for sure. The unusual lure that comes to mind is the deps sonar. It’s a swim bait that’s jointed but the rubber skin around it makes the joint less flexible and the tying point is dead center on the side. It literally moves like a forward scanning sonar. I’ve caught a quite a few fish on it but ...

Two weeks ago I was at Barrett and saw a dead rabbit in the water. I realized why the big rat lures work right there.

But for me, consistently this crazy crawler is the strangest thing I use ( and variants ) and every week I get some fish to claim it.

My wife caught one just over 4 before Loveland was destroyed and it spit up a biiig pack rat on the last jump.

I also saw a juvenile duck big enough to be on its own get pulled down at otay. It was “screaming” doing everything it could to get away. Fish finally let it go and it went to shore. I ...

The Megabass I wing135 is great. Last trip to Barrett a 4lb broke the wings!

That looks like a lot of fun to me. I haven't tried Miramar yet, but I think you may have convinced me. It's close and sounds nice.

Also the Social D shirt is awesome.

Same here. Even though they are all made of plastic and should be exactly the same, I always felt that some worked better. I was big into the Don Iovino Splash-It (Same Mold as a Rico) back when it came out in the 90s, and I swear there were some that slayed them and some that just did not have the ...

Fished El Cap and Hodges this weekend. Threw t-rigged brush hogs, t-rigged margarita mutilator robos, spinnerbaits, underspins, jigs, and dropshot... Could not buy a bite this weekend. I tried fishing shallow and deep.

They bit a lot better for me a few weeks ago as I caught quite a few on the ...

Much bigger than the ones I caught at home!

Seems typical for Mira Mar. I used to go there a lot, years ago. Always a challenge to find subtle structure in the weeds in the clear water. Usually used 4 lb test, splitshot reapers and finesse worms in Green Weenie to get them to eat. But I digress.

Okay, so how come no one makes a ringneck snake lure?

These little beauties are natural forage for fish.
Don't believe me? Where do you think I got that one?

This is a dangerous request, lol....

You're likely to get a lot of different opinions on this, so I'd just suggest you pop into one of the local shops around Santee and Lakeside and you'll get a wealth of knowledge and grab "the bait/s" you need to get you some green bass.

New to the forum and happy to post about all the nothing I catch, mostly at Murray, haha.

Kinda sorta got into fishing with my son in 2020 when it was about the only thing going, desperate for any activity that took us out of the house. Have recently gotten back into it, maybe for the past 6-7 ...

Went out to San Vee monday mainly to test out my motor after being fixed. I found the motor ran extremely well, but my fishing seemed to need the work now. I caught a couple pint sized dinks on d/s to avoid the skunk but I was throwing jigs all day or at least until it got to damn hot to fish. I ...

Thanks Mcfish I have always valued your advice especially when it comes to San Vee. Everytime I catch a fish there I wonder how many times you caught the damn thing already. HEHEHEHEHE

Awesome report Vinny bass, looks like you found the right bait to fool the bass.can’t wait to get out to Miramar and fish in the tube.

Got one on your new worm! Must have been fun! Bet attendance picks up!

Hey Vinny,
Great job at Miramar. A few of those bass have big shoulders. Once again, the Sammy performs in your skilled hands.
Joe.

Miramar can fish alot like Murray, not surprised you do well there also! The attendance may pickup, but most people will probably have a tough time getting the better fish! Lots of tulles and some deep water is not most people's expertise!

Nice Report!
You said you got lucky, is that why you throw Lucky Craft? I know dumb Dad joke=)
