San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

My last few trips to Murray has produced only dinks and even micro bass so it is refreshing and sad at the same time to hear about the bass you lost. My recent bass catches were perfect size for a small backyard pond or some of the micro bass would do well in an aquarium, so it was refreshing to ...

Oh man I know that feeling. Tis’ better to have hooked and lost then never to have hooked at all. (I guess) Man I’m so sorry to hear that heartbreaker. Bigguns are coming your way again. At least you get to buy a new rod?

Thank you. Can’t wait to meet up again soon. Cheers!

Oh no! Having her in your grasp and still losing her must be a brutal heartache. Sorry to hear. Just more motivation to keep fishing!

I believe I have landed every DD I have ever hooked!

Yeah, but that one was a nice one!

I hate losing double digits. You’ll play it through your head from now to eternity trying to figure out how you could’ve saved it. But as was said, better to have fought…

Picked up a BFS set up and landed a double digit. Just a different kind.

The monotony of Monday morning was broken when the phone started buzzing, as my tourney partner made his usual call.

"Hey, I can't fish on Saturday. Can you fish on Friday instead?"

"Look who you're asking here," I responded.

"Don't you ever work? Don't you have a job?"

"Yeah, sure. Where ...

Nice, I think I saw you out there.

Nice job out there! It was tough for me there yesterday. I got 1 about 1.5lbs on a jig and that was it. I definitely need more time on the water there. I did get lots of tips from a lot of really nice people on the water yesterday which was awesome, and it was a gorgeous day.

1/12?

I really admire your prescription to end the suffering

Well...I am still at it, although not as often. If memory serves me correctly, this is the first bass of the year for me. That I got to shore anyway after having my line snapped (methinks I was a bit too excited) on what should have been the first about a week ago. Oh well this little one actually ...

The Ole Pond

Ah, Probation Pond. A hard core angler’s humble yet all-inclusive abode, complete with blue tinted water, towering palm trees, and shopping cart reefs. Hungry? The catering is provided by the taco stand, and dessert is on wheels as the elote ...

Haha. I was interested in the date because I was supposed to fish Otay that day, but wasn't able to get out.

6 fish in the middle of January sounds like a good time to me!

Great job getting out on the water, even if there was a lot of wind. I’ve been in that situation plenty of times and fishing from a tube in whitecaps is like fishing in a washing machine. At least you got a few fish! Thanks for the update.

If only someone made them in bluefin tuna sizes.

What would eat them?

I meant in a size for catching bluefin tuna. Would be the ideal lure to drop when the captain says tuna are 100' below the boat. I did not mean a lure the size of a bluefin tuna, that would be way too hard to cast.

Thanks guys for the updates. Spring is just around the corner?

Now that made me look forward to something and hopefully some big fish right around the corner for all of us.
