San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I could fish Lake Murray roughly 20 times vs one time on the round trip distance going from my house to the Lake of D & K, but it is always a fun adventure which makes it worth it. And besides, it is always a pleasure to run into fellow SDFish folks like Fisheromen and Mcfish . Started off kind of ...

Epic day! Looks like a big redear sunfish aka Shellcracker

Looks like a crappie hybrid?????

It's always a fun time when you've got Vinnybass and Fisheromen on the lake with you! DK was in my wheelhouse today! I mixed it up today throwing various plastics and picked up 31 fish, mostly the clone variety...but fun, fun, fun! Mr. Vinny always inspires me to throw different baits, since he is ...

Grand Canyon...more impressive than I expected!

That be a redear...without red...on its ear!

No Crappie hybrids?

Was thinking crappie but the mouth isn’t big enough. A beast whatever it is!!

Awesome job. Man, I need to get my kayak wet.
I believe our bass are the ones that need a vacation from you buddy. LOL

Nice to read about you guys adventures on one of my favorite lakes. I sure miss that place, and those green fishies.

Great fishes!
Boat launch ramp open?

I should probably call it “Lago McFish” like
@JWall suggested because he has that lake wired.

What a day! Thanks for sharing=D

Finally got my new to me kayak out to the water. The day didn't start off great as a buried a treble hook just passed the barb into my finger. Luckily was able to get it out and keep on going! Ended up with four and lost one. Still learning to fish off the kayak but can't wait to get this out more!

Had a really fun day today out there. Not many boats and the fish are chewing! It’s really sad that it’s going to be shut down soon!

Put 14 bass and an ambitious bluegill in the boat today. All but one on power fishing techniques. Finally got my first Neko Rig fish which was nice.

Gunfish ...

Headed out with the girl about 5:30 and plenty of boats had already launched. Ramp is darn close to its end but ok for another day, week, maybe two. @Moose was right on from yesterday, fish are on the chew. Saw that topwater shad trapped against the shore right away. We had stopped just shy of where ...

My son and I fished Barrett on opening weekend. I never bought into the talk about 100 bass days. Well, I caught 106 and now I am a believer. As you can imagine, I wasn’t expecting much at Murray this morning. I ended up having one of my best days at Murray. It started out slow for me so I switched ...

1st time in the kayak out there. Lake was low, windy, and lots of chop and wakes from the boaters.
Started off missing a few in the front, cruised over to the middle right side after an hour in the front. To much wind and chop.
Traveled across to the other side. Thought I was gonna get t boned by ...

So...embedded a treble hook in a finger while fishing off the kayak this weekend. Trying to prevent this in the future. I bought some PVC meshed back lure wraps off Amazon but the hooks pierce the material instantly. Do you guys use lure wraps to protect yourself? If so which ones are you using or ...
