San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

There were boats on the water, but one guy backed his trailer wheels off the end of the ramp and couldn't pull it back out. He ended up swimming and lifting the trailer while his buddy pulled it forward. I suspect that it's going to get increasingly hard to launch there.

Another awesome video Chris!

I remember maybe 10 years ago I had decided that jigs were some kind of elaborate joke created by pros and perpetrated on us mere mortals. Over the years I had tried jigs on numerous occasions, and all I ever caught was grass, moss, and tree branches. Not to mention losing a bunch of them after ...

Vinny showing once again that he is king of the river! Great job brother!

Haha I just think it's weird that they've gone from "they don't work" to my default go to.

Had another pretty good day at Murray jigging the edge of the tules. I got there a little late for most of the busters. Total count was 8. On the water by 8:30 and off by 12. I'll share the bait in the BFS section.

So I've seen the term power BFS thrown around a lot lately. To me it means bridging the gap between the tiny ultralight setups and traditional bass gear. I'd put my primary jig setup in that category.

This is a Keitech 3/16 tungsten jig paired with a 2" Yum chunk craw trailer. I throw it with a 7 ...

Oops I meant off by noon lol....sorry.

Great job Vinny. I went to Murray yesterday. Got on the water at 8:30 and got off at noon as it got really hot. All I managed were a few dinks and clones. You caught some nice ones.

Had a really fun day at El Cap with Chris ( Pourboy ) and his friend Brad. Final count was 17. One jig fish, and everything else was topwater. A few dinks but most were 1-2 pound clones with 3 of them over 3 lbs.

They weren't busting aggressively, but I was just casting around in the coves and they ...

Hey Dan that was a super fun time on the lake. You definitely outfished us on that day but it was still a blast. I'll put a link to the video when it comes out. Cheers!


I don't know about that. I caught most of them in that first little cove and most were smallish. I think you guys picked up ...

Hell yes, I think I was the first to Google it haha! One of the fun things about being retired and fishing 3-4 days per week is trying new stuff! Thanks Robert.

Anytime you have a 15 fish day it's a good day right? Especially when over half of them look like this behemoth!

Wait....could this be construed as a clickbait title?

Actually numbers wise Murray has been pretty good the last couple of days, but it's all been dinks and clones for me. Saw some big ...

I did a little better today. Still mostly clones but a couple over 3 lbs. as well.

I've had Osprey fly off with my fish there as well. Took it right up to a tree and I had to fight to get my Sammy back from him. It was pretty comical to onlookers me fighting a fish and a bird in a tree.

Awesome job Dave
