San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Fun times.

I’m fairly new to fishing (haven’t been since my teenage years). My boys want to go and I was thinking about taking them to Lake Jennings. How’s the fishing there recently? Is it worth going or are there better spots to check out? I’ll probably head out tomorrow and rent a boat. Thanks for any ...

Nice job out there on your return to Murray. It must’ve been pretty exciting at the beginning, thinking it’s gonna be like Otay. Hopefully the fishing will pick up as the water raises higher. I was looking at the boat ramp the other day and again it’s still not high enough to launch a boat, but I ...

No float tubes allowed Dan

Healthy ones!

They used to allow float tubes. Of course this was way back when the lake used to have threadfin shad and yes Mike Long was the premiere lake record champion

I don’t think it’s that easy, there would be a long line if it were.
If snagging 18lbers were easy wouldn’t there be a crowd.
Come on, why turn on your partner. Then close your forum and hide.
It’s gives people something to talk about, because there not catching big fish.
I haven’t seen a 15lber ...

When the spawn is on, there is plenty of opportunities to snag big fish in clear waters like Jennings for example. I believe most people just don’t do it for ethical reasons… plus people don’t have much to gain ($$$) by doing it and if they are endorsed, they have so much to loose by getting caught ...

I went to Lake Poway 3 times with a friend that had caught 2 fish in the teens throwing big glidebaits before the covid thing. I never caught one but what I saw was unbelievable. The water was crystal clear and from the vantage point of the higher meandering trail you could see the beds with more ...

Thanks for the ramp update. Murray is my second home lake (after Otay) and I've been missing it as a Friday option, although that has got me out to a couple of other lakes this summer.

Been a long time(June 21) since I actually fished on the water at Murray. Besides being out sick and a few other ailments added to the fact they lowered the water where I could not launch my boat, it was nice to actually get back on the water this morning. Threw topwater baits and reaction baits on ...

Not much to report from this mornings trip to Hodges. Landed a 2lber on a crankbait right off the bat around 5:30. A couple missed bites over the next hours but that was all. Called it a day at 9:00 when the sun came out.

Months ago,I got a Jackall Gantarel Jr as part of a deal selling a rod and it has never touched the water. While waiting for my buddy Larry to launch his boat I made a few casts near the boat ramp and was surprised when a small bass slammed it. I was amazed a small bass would hit it and yet so ...

Nice job down buddy ….those are some
healthy bass! Tight lines always

If 12 fish is considered revenge, I need to start living in your world Nice work as usual.

Everyday is a different day..good, bad, and fair! Always good to be on the water though!

Was slow for me too. I took over as you left. Only got three compared to 18 last week. Had an additional six hits that didn’t stick, frogs, bootleg frogs, and whoppers.

Otay has been a lot of fun this summer. Bait is all over and those fish are hungry.

Spent the first 6.5 hours of the day down there this morning and it was a little of everything. Got a topwater fish before I even put my tube in the water. Pulled up to the bank and there were busters in the cove 6 ...

SAN DIEGO— It’s no secret that bass fishing at Barrett Lake tends to rate at various levels of “epic” for most of the season, and because of that, it takes a significant occurrence earn a headline. A double-digit largemouth historically does the trick ...
