El Capitan 7/2
I threw every topwater and mid-column lure I own and got nary a nibble....zip...nada....nuttin. I switched to the bottom and zing bada bing! Senkos, jigs, Roboworms, if I had it, I threw it and they ate it! And they didn't give a rat's bass about color either, it all worked. I ended ...

Sounds like an SDFish tube trip in the makings…

Yeah, I think I will head there early tomorrow too. I'm pretty sure Murray is still all messed up from the 4th. I like Murray because it's closer, but El Cap is an old favorite too

Loaded my kayak up and hit Lake Miramar on Monday. It was overcast, the water was high and caught my first bass on top
which was a nice start. I started to catch bass on a topwater bait and in between a few bass that could not find my treble hooks.
Anyway everything was going well as I began to ...

Do you always do this well or only when you are coming down with a virus? Miramar has a reputation as hard to fish. Seems like you haven't been catching this many fish lately. Maybe we should come over and get the virus you have. Covid? RSV? Flu?

A good day fishing and feeling sick beats slow ...

Open backseat on SS Ranger. I asked Vinney in a PM, if he can't go, then the back seat is up for grabs. Cost? Just buy me a cheeze burger.

I got to the lake early and it looked perfect for top water. Nice and overcast. By the time i set up my pontoon and launched the overcast had burned off so i started hitting the shore with an assortment of smaller cranks. I picked up some small dinks close to the shore on shad raps so i made a ...

I went to Miramar for the first time in years this morning. I threw cranks, swimmers, Senkos, jerks, t-rigs, jigs and even a dropshot for a brief spell. The only bites I could get were popping a frog at the edge of the tulles.

Not that I am complaining! I love me some frog fishing, but I wish they ...

I had to post this. I watched the whole video which I normally do not do. So much action. Dude is chasing HUGE boils after boils and killing it. Not an over exaggeration by calling this EPIC! Wow!

I have started many friends that never catch bass with artificial lure before, by simple dragging around slowly weightless 5” Senko. It seems like beginners technique but truth be told on slowest day this technique save me from skunked. The key is to move them slowwwww.

Mcfish may have called it. Toilet to tap symptoms.

Hope you feel better!

That looks like a lot of fun. Reminds me of Mohave and Havasu. Thanks for sharing.

I know one thing for sure. If that was a San Diego Lake, there would be 20 boats on it, not 2.

I got one small topwater bite early on but it was a clone, and I lost a nice topwater fish in the middle of the narrows. Came unpinned right in front of my tube. Otherwise it was just like Mcfish's day. Small worm fish and had to work for those. Had 3 deer come right down to the water and graze ...

Probably great fishing, looks really good when I have been mountain biking in the area. It is filled with water from Colorado River so it will definitely have fish. The main thing you need to find out is what the penalty for fishing it is.

Had a 16 fish day today at Otay. Walking baits, poppers, jerk and crankbaits all produced. Even picked up a few worm fish after it got hot. All in all a beautiful Saturday morning.

Was out and set up by 6:00 am. I figured I'd hit the Straits since i haven't fished that portion of the lake in awhile. The lake has dropped another couple of feet I reckon by the looks of things. The straits looked more like a mud flat as i started on the north side . I All those good rocky out ...

Thanks to Loveland the water level has been damn near at road level for a while now

The last time I fished was 14 days ago, which to me is a lifetime! Been pretty sick and took a while to recover(some weird stomach virus) and even lost 8 pounds. Finally able to start eating better and just when I was thinking of getting back out on the water, I suddenly found myself limping around ...

Spun the wheel of fishing choices and Miramar came back up. I was excited to get back on those early morning breakers. Rods rigged with the right baits and alarm set for 430 am. Boom.. Partner got to my house 515 am. and at the lake by 540 am. Only two float tubers at the ramp and took a bit of time ...
