San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I've thought about fishing Sutherland, but I fish exclusively out of a float tube (living full time in an RV in my retirement it works for me!). I drove by the lake in early spring and it was windy, and I had no idea how I'd approach it, so I put it on the back burner.

I see you fish Murray quite a ...

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!

So glad to see you get some fish, you've paid your dues this year..heck, we all have up there!

That 3rd one looks nice! They are all heathy looking! It's so funny how each lake has it's own distinctly looking bass.
Thanks for sharing your good times!

The V is still going! Did a short session on 8/13 from open till about 9:30. Ended up with 9 total. Mostly smaller fish but managed to find two fish over 3lbs. As has been the trend lately for me there, shallow cover was the key.

Thanks guys. Sorry about the post updates, it took me a while to figure out how to embed the videos.

IMG_0523.jpeg The Fish that got away gave you a chance. Fish win sometimes too. I’m glad they throw us back. Some days they suck it down, other days they barely get it at all. Usually it comes down to correct size, profile, color. A small change can make a big difference. That’s the game we play ...

You are the Master of the Metal! I'm thinking you cut the barbs off my trebles..I'm not sure how or when you did it, but that's the only way I can explain me losing so many fish!

According to Barrett Lake staff just now, San Diego lakes will be closed Sun. and Mon.

Pretty darn good day of Bass fishing at Miramar. Sometimes they are all over the baits, some days they barely nip at it. Still an impressive haul of Largemouth in the clear waters of that place.

Vinny…pretty sure I’m seeing a blade bait in your pics. I threw some in my freshwater box a while back after slaying the spotties in the bay. Then tried them once or twice on El Cap to no avail so I’ve since ignored them. You give me renewed confidence to keep on trying

Thank you for the awesome report Vinny bass , I can’t wait to get to Miramar tomorrow and get some bass too. I hope to see you there also. Right on man and good luck out there.

NIce work. Looks like a fun day. I have to get out there, I know I keep saying that, but it's almost impossible to pry myself away from Barrett.

Like I said last week..you are the master of the metal! Thanks for inviting me..oh wait..you didn't! I know, you don't like the competition!

Didn't realize your Hobie was a two-seater!
VB, you should have added up your best 5. Looks like an impressive limit.

Good move going there. Hit El Cap and it was pretty quiet. Six for two of us and all dinks. Even put time in fishing my blade bait vertical.

Chunky

Nice work! That one looks like it's been taking steroids=)

In the summer the bass have no problem chasing down a blade as they are in the shad eating mood. But if you find balls of shad the vertical works too. Traditionally in the winter months at Murray, I vertical jig a spoon and ice jigs in deep water and will be trying to use more blades this year. I ...
