San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Unfortunately, the lake closures will only get worse! The Mayor and City Council have discovered that they can screw the fisherman and save the money for their pet projects..the homeless and the illegal aliens.

That's a pretty fish...did you get a weight on her? Let me guess..3.5....??

Gimme back my popper! Looks like an old Rebel popper!

Perfect day for topwater..but they forgot to tell the fish! I picked up a small fish on the surface right away and that was the end of my topwater party. There was a few scattered breakers the next couple hours, but not worth chasing. I broke out the dropshot pretty quick and picked up a decent fish ...

Pie....apple, lemon, chocolate cream.....no stinkin cake!

I finally got back to San V on my favorite day! Along with Murray, San V is probably where I've spent most of my years fishing...starting back in the 60s. I got to the lake at sunrise, headed out looking for some busters and soon found some on the main lake behind the island. They were spread out ...

The lakes aren't the same without you!

Miramar..when all else fails, dropshot deeper!!

Crazy spinnerbait color..

A tough lake to make them come up when they're not in the mood..I knew you would figure it out!

Yep, just keep dropping the water level til it's just a carp pond! San Diego's specialty..trashing the City lakes! Remember back when Hodges was on the cover of Bassmaster Magazine..the good ol days of Botroff and Brown! Now we have Toad Glorious and his City Council groupies!

Vail was a fun lake, kind of like fishing Lake Morena in the old days...another lake screwed up now!

Tough day at El Capitan yesterday. I threw a bit of everything at them and they were positively sluggish. It was nice to see Jeremy AKA @CorsoEnthusiast out there.

I landed a couple of clones and a handful of dinks mostly on poppers right next to the banks . BTW I named the little one Vinny.

False advertising!!! You're making it look like mere mortals could fish Miramar and just kill it. We both know that you have the Miramar Secret Sauce! Most people will never leave the tulles and never find the chosen land! We'll keep that a secret...between you and I....and a few thousand others ...

Excellent day! When Otay topwater is happening..it's happening!

Thanks Big C.....I know I am not Irish, but was sure lucky.

Ha...lucky smucky! So was it location location location..or timing timing timing??? Definitely not lucky! I've got the Irish, and that's not luck! Good job!

what blade bait is that?


It is a Damiki Vault Blade Bait.

My Damiki’s have a blade in place of that back treble. I should probably switch that out for another treble as there’s already plenty of flash and vibration.


Don't.....well you can do what you want, but I actually ...

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 ...

Colorado River..tons of them up in Parker Az.

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