San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Sometimes its true...it is fun and this was one of them...I was there for a total of 3 casts (flips really) and here is the result:

Way better than the 12 fish dink festival at Hodges the day before...

Yeah @Mcfish I've been working on him too. I even loaned him a BFS rig to try out, but it reels left handed so he couldn't get the hang of it. So who's the real sissy here lol.


The rig is cool, but this "sissy" has been using right handed bait casters for about 55 years and it just does not ...

A lot of long fluoro leaders down at Loveland that get reeled up. People need to learn how to do proper fluoro to braid connections if they are going that route. Even on shorter lengths, there should absolutely never be a knot failure or slip. I got to do a lot of experimenting on the boss’ dime ...

Awesome job Dan yeah cap I think best bite around now

Nicely done Dan. I think you could get busted with that much grass.

I never said BFS never works in grass (even though McFish tried to quote me with out me saying a word….. but after all he is Mcfish).
Anyway, I just wanted to say what a nice job you did out there at El cap.
Tight lines always buddy!

That looks exactly how my buddy does it. Just drag all the grass with 'em. Makes 'em look bigger.

Way to change things up and had a good day. I have been trying different things some don't work some your like have do that more often.

Good job Dan.
Thats why I always mix up a lot of my baits and throw a lot of different things. Because I believe the bass have seen so many baits that are normal…. It’s fun to try a lot of different things. Looks like you had fun. Thanks for sharing and tight lines always

That's awesome! I will have to throw that soon myself. Thanks for the confirmation that it works.

Is this the same as a jig worm?

I started doing that back in the 70's because I thought pork frogs were too bulky...

Finally got back out on the water again ( I really hate you guys that get to fish so often! 😝). Lake was packed! Had to have been at least one club tournament if not two going on.

Had really no idea what to expect except for the recent reports from here. Started out throwing a frog and missed a ...

Nice to see you back on the water. It always feels nice. We were away most of those past week and even in those four days… it feels like I haven’t been in the water in a long, long time ha ha. Hopefully you’ll get out of the water a lot more and we will see a lot more reports. Tight lines always.

Great adjustment yeah I hope topwater returns maybe couple hot spells nice job catching Cowboy

Rad I was having the same fun on toad bringing my dad he said same thing funnest fishing ever topwater yeah I found 3 there last weekend brand new Sammy chatter evo and a crank

Nice job (on cooking... great smoke ring there.)
Inspires me to get mine fired up again.

Miramar was super slow yesterday also. Only one bite. At least you got out there!

Maybe the first time I looked at a pic that was not a bass and was very impressed. Yummy!!!!!
At least you got out on water and caught some and know the bass bite will be better next trip for sure.
