San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Hey McFish, we went for the late afternoon/ evening session and didn’t get any action at all. I threw crankbaits, swimbaits, and Senkos. I don’t know if it was me, my float tube, or the fish, but I did see that another poster caught 6. Maybe he was out there in the morning or I don’t know how to ...

Fished San V a few times this past week and both days had a fun bite on breaking fishing all around the lake. Best action was before the breeze picked up from 8-12pm. Quick accurate casts and small flukes worked on or just under the surface was the key to success. A few fish also came on the dead ...

Was out there today in fact.

Proof you don't need a fancy boat to catch a bunch of fish!

Found this pic of my 11.9 from Morena several years back

I glad to see that SDfish is still alive and well. Good to see so many of the seasoned anglers still posting. As some may know I am no longer in SD however I have an attachment to this thread.

Nice catching! That Robo HS color has been great at the V this year.

Today was ultralight day with a seven and a half foot Diawa Presso, and 1/16th oz ball head jigs. I paired the tiny jig heads with 2.5 inch mini swimbaits. I caught 6 nice bass in the the 2-3 pound range and a Crappie. So much fun on ultralight gear. So much so I am thinking of springing for a ...

It was fun to see @vinnybass at Murray on last Thursday. I caught a few along the tullies.

I have become a big fan of BFS fishing.
There’s a lot of stuff available out there now at most any price point.

I’m using a Megabass Triza Aello rod, a true 0 power UL that will throw baits as light as 1/32oz. My reel is a Daiwa Silver Creek Air Stream Custom.

It makes even smaller fish a ton ...

Hello all,

Headed out to San V with John W today. Got started around 0730, because it's cold and there's no hurry when it's windy in the morning. Plugged around most of the day mixing small hardbaits (me) and softbaits (John). Not a whole lot of activity. Did pick up an impressive bluegill that ...

Lindo Lake?

There definitely aren't as many 8lb+ bass as there was back in the 70s-90s! San V use to have them..then they stopped stocking trout! Rare to run into one these days

There is a rumor of a guy named JIMBO that consistently pulls 10+ pounders from shore at Murray on home poured black plastics. True story

I haven't been to El Cap in a couple weeks, so I thought I would give it a shot. My last time there I got into some fun topwater, so this time I set up 5 rods for topwater and dartheads! So you can guess what happened...no topwater! I spent a couple hours searching for anything on top and found ...

Enjoyed your report. It's sometimes trial and error this time of year as the surface bite can be there, or nothing at all is hitting the surface.
Good thing your fishing insight made you switch to plastic worms and find some bass. That air temp you mentioned made me cold so
I had to make a cup ...

Not a giant, but still plugging away at it in the "urban fishery" and to keep me honest...here's the dink

Thought top might be over, but not quite yet folks.
