San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Hey all, I got asked by Bruce to be on the San Diego Bass Fishing Podcast yesterday. We had a fun chat about the neko rig and other things bass fishing. Enjoy!

After some swimbait tossing from shore a few times recently, I decided to take the boat out and give it a whirl.The weather got hot quickly and geez...85 degrees in early February! Anyway....swimbait tossing for a while and then switched over to a crank bait and landed a small bass. Then around 30 ...

I was out of town last weekend on a snowboarding trip, which made it the first weekend in some time that I didn’t fish, so I was stoked to get out at Cap today. I got on the water at about 6:30AM and made a few casts with various crankbaits, but to no avail. Made a long kick/row to an area I’ve been ...

It’s pretty fun down there right now if you’re in a kayak or a float tube. Fish up shallow - everything I caught was in 8’ or less of water. Had most of my success on the Neko, seemed like there were quite a few on a moving bait bite early too. Saturday was better than Sunday. Water temp once the ...

Never know where you are going to pop up! Nice!

Getten it done nicely! How's the water level there? In or out of the tules?

Looks like you had more fun than fishing Murray ha ha ha. Thanks for sharing and tight lines

Sounds like a great day! What depth was best for you?

Been so long, I thought I might not remember how, but had a pretty good 45 min session...I really enjoy fishing, but catching is way better.

Way out of the tules. The water level is low, but boats can still launch.

Does it seem like the city is trying to kill boating on our lakes? Sheesh!!

Got numbers on Cap today targeting bass in shallow water. I got on the water at about 6:30 and made my way across the lake to target fish hanging around rocks. I made a few casts into the shallows with a neko-rigged 4-inch senko on the way there and managed to get a fish to take, but lost it. Been ...

Sounds like an awesome day to me!

Were you in a tube or kayak?
I was out there yesterday and had a hell of a time launching my kayak. they were working on the docks and had guy wires all over, shore was mucky mud, not fun. I only stayed for 2 hours, got 2 fish and decided to call it as I was dreading how to get out.

It was a solid day of fishing. No giants, but I’ll take numbers any day of the week!

1st time this back to my go to lake...I do love the pond, but the lake is so much more...

Got an on time start, long line at the iron ranger and to the water not long after first light. Threw a bunch of different stuff, spinnerbait, cranks, etc but the first one took almost an hour and I was ...

El Cap (2/15) - Repeat of Friday. 22 fish caught in the same types of areas. Lost around 8-10. No bigs, but did get a couple of high 3’s among the clones.

Just the pure joy of hooking, and landing, a pig.

I was inspired today to spend a few hours this morning down at the SD River thanks to fellow SDFish member tomnilll .I have not been fishing much at all and needed a nice kick in the rear which tomnilll has provided with some recent posts and nice bass he has landed. Not much to say, but landed 2 ...
