San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I arrived at the lake at 8:00 a.m. after dropping the kids off at school. Started fishing, and by 10:00 a.m. I started feeling like crap. Sore throat, fever, stuffy nose. Still I did manage one pretty decent fish on a jig. Been in bed ever since.

Here's to Hope and I feel better and get back on ...

Thanks all. About 48 hours of chills and fever but starting to feel better finally!

Awesome job brother! You'll have to give me lessons on that strolling thang!

Awesome Vinny! Rats are fun you should definitely give it a go lol.

Well wintertime and things have slowed way down at Murray. I've managed to avoid the skunk so far by the skin of my teeth. All I've been able to get have been a few clones on jigs in 15-20 feet of water. Most of the bass seem scattered and deep.

Still, I was able to pull in a few nice little slab ...

Noice!!!!

Awesome Jeremy

This has been my experience at the Murr lately too!

Frickin' Vinny! Awesome brother!

I hear that!!!

Thanks to Jeremy's ( @CorsoEnthusiast ) posts here I'm gonna give the technique a try too, albeit at Murray today. It's been pretty slow there but gonna see if I can coax a few nibbles with these lol. As always thanks for sharing your excellent tips and videos!

Fun!

Well no luck on the strolling baits at Murray, but to be fair I didn't give them a great try. I ran into some equipment issues and had to cut my morning really short lol

Hope your equipment issued gets fixed and those baits do look awesome!
And adding my 2 cents regarding Murray... if 10 ...

5 bass today at Otay. 4 of them were 1.5 to 3 lb clones and the largest went 5.4 lbs. All of them were on a chatterbait. I went to Otay arm to try hover strolling but there was really nothing going on there. None of the boats, yaks, or tubes reporting much success so I started working deeper ...

Well I worked the first 3 hours yesterday at Murray and only managed a couple of small 1.5 clone bass. So I pivoted and broke out the BFS gear and rigged it with a tiny chatterbait. I managed 18 of these and even continued picking up the occasional clone bass here and there between .

Happy holidays ...

It's tiny, 1/16 oz.

10 feet or so...

Still picking up mostly clones at Murray but some of them are faaaat and all of them are fun. Besides the sunrise is worth the price of admission.

I got on the lake just after the gates opened and had basically circumnavigated it by 10 am. I caught a few of the usual clones and bluegill and decided to head back to the launch ramp to warm up a bit and relieve myself (because I suspect peeing one's waders is ill advised).

As I approached the ...
