San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Have not fished the SD river since Halloween which is scary, but been pretty busy and was out of town for a bit. Went down for a morning session and morning it was as I arrived at around 8:30 a.m. The water was even greener than last time and started off working a number of reaction baits(crank ...

It's going around, all over. Had that nasty cold two weeks ago. Missed three days of work and a fishing date with a couple of friends. I did manage to sneak in a couple of hours before having to punch the time clock on the following Monday., though.

Otay has overtaken El Cap as my favorite local body of water this year. Hadn't been in a few weeks and decided to make an early morning run in the tube.

Got in the water well before sunrise and was greeted by some busters and an early catch on a small subsurface walking bait. Threw a 110 Jr for ...

Feel better buddy!

Nice job out there buddy!
Heck, while I was kicking back in a sweatshirt and sweat pants, you were having a heck of a lot more fun
down at Otay. Looks like you had a blast experimenting with the stalling thing and and it sure looks like
it paid off. I will be trying more hover baits this winter as ...

Hope you’re feeling better and back to 100% soon.
I remember the days being sick and still fishing and paying the price afterwards. Anyway, thanks for sharing and tight lines when you feel better.

Hope you feel better soon.

Prayers sent for a complete recovery by days end, and a truckload of bass on re-entry to the lake of choice! ;/)

Hit the SD river this morning around 8 am and it took just over 2 hours before I got my first bite on a brushhog that I tossed in between
sunken branches and the shoreline. Set the hook and enjoyed about 5 or 6 seconds of a nice fight and suddenly the bass came off. I mean I had tension on him and ...

Round 2 this morning was even better than round one. The fatties came out to play this morning. Couple on a bladebait to start the morning, a clone sized one and a chunky ~ 4pounder. Surface activity picked up and I immediately went to the fish roller. First cast, my bait got hammered and my drag ...

Dang. I was all ready to hit the lake Sunday, woke up and my stupid back said, "YOUR NOT DOING S#@T". Great job for a short session on a typically rough lake.

Nice work so late in the year for sure!

Yeah....even though I normally stop fishing the SD river in early November each year, but it’s
December....I decided ah, what the heck!
The water no doubt has cooled down so this morning I worked crank baits and blade baits as slow as I could which is not easy as I tend to work baits like it is mid ...

Nice job...interesting bait color!

Hope you're feeling more better by now! See you on the water!

It was a T rig and jig morning, got a nice surprise pulling the chatter over a snag.

Seems like that bite is starting to slow down but still got 9 this morning.

Geez....where are the bass posts?.....I guess nobody is bass fishing anymore...ha ha.
I decided to venture over to Murray this morning despite hearing how tough and bad the bite been by more than a few guys I know and various guys coming off the lake recently. I figured what a perfect time to toss ...

Hello all,

Not too much to post here, but Vinny is right, there's not a lot of bass activity on the site. Went to El Cap on Sunday morning. Decided I probably was only pedaling about, so didn't go at dark and wait in line. Got on the water about 0730. It was still cold out and the water was about ...
