Re: Wild ride at San V today

A few weeks back, I fished next to someone (starts with a V) who had FFS and I got smoked!! The fish were suspended around shad in 20'-35', and were rarely breaking, so I was pretty much blind to what was happening under the surface. I was in my tube and didn't have my 25 year old, $75 Lowrance fish ...

Re: Wild ride at San V today

I'm even "older school" at 68! I wish we could go back to 1965, when walking the bank and throwing a 4" purple Creme worm was as complicated as we got! Miss the good ol days!

Thursday on the V...

I mixed it up a little this week, instead of my normal Monday trip, I hit San V on a Thursday. I grew up fishing the V on Thursdays, so it was kind of like old school days. I got there at sunrise and set out looking for busters! It looked grim after I checked my first 3 or 4 normal areas, but my ...

Re: Thursday on the V...




What line are you throwing at those schoolies?

20lb braid with 8' of Pline Fluoroclear. The braid helps in throwing weightless baits.


Question on the setup McFish and others…my braid to fluoro (50 to 10) is hard to throw smaller baits as the braid seems to dig in to itself on the spool ...

Re: 10/20 Murray

I can't believe you could even lift that monster! You must of been eating your Wheaties...or your strawberry crepes..Hahaha! After seeing your photo, I'm not sure that even I have baits small enough for those beasts! Keep those reports coming, but next time take a photo of the fish you catch..and ...

Re: Are you smarter than a fish?

The fish at San V are definitely smarter than me..as soon as I set the hook, they're burying themselves in the nearest tree before I can even get a crank on the handle!

I'm out looking for the X....

Re: 10/24 - SD River(What the heck!)

The chance of an El Nino bringing above average rainfall is 50/50! Last year was an La Nina year and we had way above average rainfall...so are we just going to dump half of our water supply into the ocean every year? So, if the rain doesn't show this winter do we have to fill our lakes back up with ...

Re: MORENA LAKE – ALERT

Considering it never use to happen, yep, it's happening more! I think it's especially unhealthy for dogs. Seems like most San Diego lakes have some sort of problems going on...good job water department..I know, blame it on global warming...ha!

Re: New Loveland Updates

The County Supervisors promised us that our closed days at the city lakes would reopen and they've done nothing to accomplish that! It's hard to believe that they will do any work towards fixing Loveland! They have a reputation for doing nothing for the City Lakes!!! Hodges and El Cap would not have ...

Re: Alternative to Lake Hodges?


Hey McFish, we went for the late afternoon/ evening session and didn’t get any action at all. I threw crankbaits, swimbaits, and Senkos. I don’t know if it was me, my float tube, or the fish, but I did see that another poster caught 6. Maybe he was out there in the morning or I don’t know how to ...
