San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

A funny thing happened on the way to the ramp at El Cap today. Wind wave's , rain and hail, twenty to twenty-five boats trying to get to the curtesy docks ; I’ve never been in a circus like that ; the weather let up as the last boats pulled out.

I haven't posted for a while so I thought I'd share a few photos from my trip to Murray today. I ended up with 23 trout and 14 bass over the last 2 days there. All fish were caught on small jigs with my BFS gear. They just stocked trout again, and I spotted some bass on beds.

Fun times!

That's a nice bag of fish. On the BFS stuff, you may get quite a surprise, apparently there are some monster bass in the waters of Murray. There's a post on a double digit bass caught there recently. Wouldn't that be a great time on the light gear?

Awesome Vinny

My first trip back to one of my favorite lakes in almost 2 years due back surgery. And, it was a good one.
The lake was completely different than I remembered. The areas I used to fish were now 5-8 ft deeper. A lot of the vegetation was totally different. Access to areas long overgrown were open ...

Nice skunk-beater!

Great job! I actually almost made it out there this morning, but... Glad you got one they love them big worms there. Or...at least they used to. Cheers!

By the way there was a 14lb 1oz caught at poway today or yesterday.

As Vinny can attest I fish Murray from my float tube an average of 4 days per week. I regularly pull in good numbers of bass, with the occasional scattered 6 pounder plus. The numbers of fishermen on the lake varies from negligible to quite a few on weekends. Lots of shore guys showing up ...

Made it out to Lake Murray for the first time with John W. What a nice lake. Met VinnyBass first thing and had a good chat and we went to the water with a clear plan. Had a great time buzzing about and trying to catch, well, anything. We picked up one nice 2.5# bass early in our day on a small ...

Smart and fat!

True I catch them all year on top but usually the dead of winter only the big ones hit, which is fine. Certain lakes have already gone off. I did well at Skinner two weeks ago getting 20 on top and 10 on jerk baits. But they were all dinks (see pic) except for one two pounder on the JB. Still fun ...

Some more fun yesterday..

Interesting you nail weight them Vinny. One of the key features is how they sink and they cast far already. I imagine your pitching them in the tules

Did I Catch A 19 Pound Bass?

Hey all I headed out to Lake Hodges on Sunday knowing there was a storm coming with the possibility of thunder and lightning. I knew the winds were going to be blowing strong, but really wanted to get out there as it has been a very ...

Really enjoyed your post and especially your video and hearing your story of the monster bass you caught at Miramar years ago. I could just visualize how exciting that must’ve been. That must’ve been absolutely crazy when you landed it. Look forward to many many more of your posts and videos ...

Dude you are throwing a hardware store out there!! Nice fat one too

Its creature city for me tomorrow at El Cap. Jig n craw, fat ika, and a new one, a Yamatanuki.
