San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Like @VinnyBass I figure you are all tired of seeing my Murray posts. Still, I thought I'd share a couple of pics of a decent bass and a large bluegill caught on consecutive casts with the same bait. Fun!

Very nice. Looks that big bluegill hasn't come up shallow enough to get much color yet.

Some Otay morning action in the tubes today. Brother and I have effectively starting calling it “FLOATay” because it’s such a float tube friendly lake. Lots of good spots to launch and fish there. Every trip I’ve taken down there I’ve encountered quite a few tubers as well.

How was the fishing? We ...

Well heck Dannicus .....since you already posted a Murray report...I will slip something
in. It was very fun running into you and sharing fishing stories on Thursday while each of us even caught a few bass.
Amazing how many stories fellow fishermen can share with each other. Nice job out there on ...

I was fishing my Ark gravity BFS on a Dobyns 701c. I have a new favorite rig. It's a #2 light wire ewg hook. I Texas rig it with a 1/16 oz Nako bullet weight which I peg it with a couple of bobber stops above and below the weight. I usually keep the weight about 1/4" away from the hook.

These were ...

Thanks Vinny! Yeah guys I can't begin to tell you how many fish that this rig has produced for me! Because of the that small gap elaztech baits stand up really nicely, and it really comes through rocks and cover well.

Well...I was super excited to go to the giant bass mecca in Nor-Cal and was not disappointed (mostly, more later...) Went with my little brother and we both got fish the first day on a boat (cant remember the guide's name...my brother booked him) But here are a couple examples, sorry this time I ...

I love reading and looking at posts from all the forum members here!
I rarely post but I thought this was worthy and also to celebrate my Dad who recently passed!
He loved to see pictures of the fish I caught from salt or fresh waters!
I can't send him ...

Thank you for posting and sharing the bittersweet day. Congratulations on the big fish and condolences for your loss. At least you still have the amazing memories and now you can associate those memories with your biggest bass. Cheers!

Great story and a nice tribute to your dad. Really nice fish too.

Congrats on the PB And my condolences. Lost my dad a couple years ago. It’s a tough one. Sending prayers your way.

Oh yeah… reward if found. Depart Tower Park Marina (little potato slough) head north and turn left on S Mokelumne slough. It’s 100 yards on left in 8 to 12 foot of water, depending on the tide, of course. While you’re there I’d throw the buzz bait.

Probably a very emotional day for you and no doubt your father would have been very proud of you on catching your
PB. I think he was there in spirit watching his son battle that huge bass. All of us that have lost our fathers know how
hard it is and thank goodness we can still hold on and cherish ...

Nice fish. Thanks for posting

Sorry about your pops. I also lost my dad years ago and he also loved to see pics of my fish. I know they still see us out there.

Congrats on the fish. That is awesome and hope it provided some relief.

Take care

Sorry for your loss... Awesome fish brother

Sorry for your loss. Congrats on the PB!

Reaper!

My Pops was my Fishing Partner and Friend. It is hard to lose both. The things he taught me about the intricacies of Bass Fishing were endless. The Man could fish! He taught me that you can improve yourself your whole life. I miss him so much.

You will always have the memories of sharing fishing adventures together and catching big bass!
You know the day will come when you lose a parent but never are you prepared for when it actually happens!
I never expected so any responses from everyone and thanks for sharing the great picture of ...
