San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Of all your posts, Miramar just seems bleh. Hard to believe that it once held some of the biggest bass ever caught.

That looks like a great morning. Topwater is my favorite ( I think that's a popular statement ), so it's nice to see topwater rewarded. It speaks to your skills though, to go from topwater to finesse so easily and keep landing them.
Tight lines,

This clip is from a few years back, yes..but its still my all time favorite Night fishing clip.Gonna be doing some night action coming up in September as well. Anyone else ever do this? Guys, its super fun!

Hit my home lake for a few hours on Saturday morning 8-5-23. Got on the lake at 6:00AM. 1st one on a Popper in shallow water. 2nd one on a drop shot rig in a little deeper water. Then had one break off heading under the boat, even though my drag was pretty loose. 2 more missed hook sets after that ...

Got in and out before 9:30 when the zoo showed up in force. Caught a couple of shoreline dinks then moved out to the 20ft zone for 3 bigger models. All caught on splitshot 4.5” roboworms.

Nice job getting in and out before the crowds. Is that your new Alumacraft boat? I'll bet that makes San V pretty nice.

Nice! Just hit edit and rotate the pics.

Saw in iCast that many brands are releasing "BFS" gear. See a bunch of guys using 5 - 7 pound FC. I remember back in the day, guys super tuning old Abu Garcia Ambassadors, to use with light ine.

I dunno about you guys, but I grew up fishing LA city ponds, which equates to very pressured fish. When ...

Launchable?

Been a strange year at all of the lakes this year. The heavy rains and rising water levels have left the fish confused, I think. Good to see you're still catching em at Murray. I'll have to head down to Murray when the weather cools down a bit.
Tight lines Vinny!

You need to stop catching my pygmy dropshot bass..I've got to keep my numbers up!

Hey guys,
I'm new to this forum, so I thought I'd post a couple of pics from my trip to Hodges reservoir last Saturday.

I caught 7 fish total. 1 early frog fish, 1 on a jig, a couple on Senkos, and the rest on 7" dropshot robowoworms.

Anyway, glad to be here on the forum.

My little local lake out here in Ramona has been very abusive this year! After 4 months of 1 to 3 fish days, I finally started putting together some patterns a couple weeks ago and today was my revenge day! The weather was perfect, overcast in the morning and a high of 82 by 1:00! Normally in August ...

That's great to hear! That is the lake of D&K that I was used to. Nice work!

Fun times today! I imagine your drive home felt a little longer thinking about the ones that got away! You still caught a couple beauties though!

Rumor has it I am still at the back of the lake. Not true, but it took an hour to get back from the Santa Ysabel arm and I went less than half way back. Twice the lake we had last year!
I found a TW bite early! Buzz bait and Popper. Missed a couple, farmed a couple and caught 4 to 2.8 lbs. Had one ...

I haven’t been in months! This post makes me want to hit my home lake again. Been having too much fun at the others in San Diego though. Thanks for the update.

Another great morning with 13 quality bass including these jig and Senko fish. I finally figured out how to embed a video

The Trifecta Vinnybass, fisheromen and Mcfish...glad you found em. 11 is a great day the way Sutherland has been this year. Thanks for the report and pics @Mcfish

Hit my home lake again on Saturday 8/12. Had a better day. Was able to boat 4 and had 2 missed hook sets on drop shot and a missed popper hook set. Also had 2 break off. Still a fun day at Sutherland, finally!
