The chance of an El Nino bringing above average rainfall is 50/50! Last year was an La Nina year and we had way above average rainfall...so are we just going to dump half of our water supply into the ocean every year? So, if the rain doesn't show this winter do we have to fill our lakes back up with ...

Last time headed to Alpine I noticed the Cap had dropped enough that more high spots in the launch arm were exposed. And that happened over the course of a week so it wasn’t evaporation. I cannot fathom (pun intended) why the city would do that except for dam integrity or keeping the drought ...

If you want to read an article that probably cost a lot of money to produce and basically says look out the window and decide for yourself, check out NOAAs forecast for this winter.

Nice looking fish VinnyBass;-)

Healthy looking fish, Vinny.
Why would water be released to the ocean? Have we conserved too nuch?


Maybe we’re going to get a lot of rain this winter and the city is preparing for it…. Yeah….that’s the reason…ha ha :-)


San Diego need to fix their dam so it can run at capacity and serve it ...

was fishing an underspin and landed a few 2 pound largemouths when suddenly something slammed my lure and bent my medium heavy rod over and started peeling drag.  Turned out that a 15.2 pound catfish thought the swimbait looked tasty as well!

I'm not here to defend the water authority, but I may have some insight. I live in a building that's 50+ years old and I'm unfortunately the HOA president. We've got a limited budget and our owners aren't in favor of a large dues increases so we have to be very strategic on where and when we can do ...

I’d agree if there wasn’t ridiculous financial waste, spending and mismanagement in the city and at state levels. Example; illegal immigration costs CA roughly 31 billion per year. You’d probably be able to build a “few” dams with that….

/\ /\ /\ /\ Exactly. I am sure the City is still eating ...

It’s really funny how they won’t construct new dams when there are all these water crisis. Also, how they say we are in severe droughts and they will drain a reservoir into the ocean.
There’s a squeeze in sweetwater river just west of the view point on the 8. Two mountains almost touching at a ...

nice bro .. good call

I too love doing art about fishing although i have a different medium .I just brought my Grandsons fishing and i made these for their room. I will guilt my daughter into putting them on their wall and laugh my ass off when she does.

Healthy looking fish, Vinny.

El Cap authorities have been draining the lake all season this year, just dumping into the river-bed...
Has flooded many personal properties....
This was all done to keep pressure off el caps damn ...

postspawn...what it could of been?

Had a great time on Lake Murray today. The big schools of bass are starting to break up. I caught 6 like this working the edges of tullies with jigs and Senkos.

Had my weekly opportunity to shore fish from 4-6PM today.
Got 2.
Both drop shots.
The best part for me was I finally caught something on other than a RoboWorm or Senko.
Got one on a drop-shotted Yamamota pumpkin Kreature bait hooked once through near the nose.
I threw this one a couple times ...
