San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

While sipping my 2nd cup of coffee around 8:25 trying to stay warm, I suddenly decided I wanted to go to the SD river. As I was gathering gear pretty quickly , I knocked over the box of terminal tackle loaded with tons of different size hooks, all types of weights, Tokyo rigs, Ned rig jig heads ...

Thanks all for the recommendations on where to fish on Sunday. I did end up going to Otay and met Corsoenthusiast (SP?) out there. Shortly after the sun came up we and about 30 of our closest boats, tubes, yaks and shore guys were on the fish. It seemed that everyone ...

2 Bites, 2 Fish! Batting 1,000 on the Texas Rig. Thanks for sharing!
Or is that a Tokyo?

I got on the lake just after the gates opened and had basically circumnavigated it by 10 am. I caught a few of the usual clones and bluegill and decided to head back to the launch ramp to warm up a bit and relieve myself (because I suspect peeing one's waders is ill advised).

As I approached the ...

I stopped posting here because too many knuckleheads were either pissed that I was letting the cat out of the bag, or flat out calling me a liar.
I started fishing just before SDFISH started. I learned so much from reading posts from the “regulars”. I’m eternally grateful for that. Keep up the ...

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 ...

Just checking in once again.... I have been going down the big swimbait rabbit hole as of recently..... alot more boring nothing happens kind of days. However, with dedication and the willingness to learn. I found some success, some 5lbers, a 7lber, and a New Years Day 13lber. She was weighed on the ...

The clock hadn't hit 11 am and Edna from Accounts Receivable had gotten on my last nerve. Usually this happens around 3 pm, but this was a new record for her. All morning, she had been asking ME , the Sr Project Manager, when we started billing a new client of ours, when SHE , the head of Accounts ...

Hey all,
I hope that your January bass fishing has been amazing so far. After trying several of the local lakes lately with limited success at each I'm kinda wondering if anyone is doing well on the lakes right now. I had a great time fishing with Dannicus on Otay last week but it was...TOUGH! I ...

Don't think "you should have been here yesterday" applies when it comes to Lake Murray recently.
I go over to the lake often and I have spoken to lots of different anglers. Guys fishing from shore, to float tube to kayak guys and to guys in bass boats and it is just tough fishing there. Now you can ...

At least I don't feel so bad now. I think I may hit Miramar in the rain Sunday, just because I can.

Sunday is smart, the rain will help the air quality at least. Tomorrow is my day to get out but I may skip if the air quality isn’t great. I have my gear ready to go and a plan for a little ...

I know a guy who fishes the pond who is one of those "I Only Throw Swimbaits" guys. He eats, sleeps and $hits swimbaits. A few days ago, he had made his way down from the parking area, with what seemed to be yet another gargantuan sized plastic swinging from the end of his 9 foot setup. He began ...

Hit up San V for my first trip out of the new year. Got a late start. Hit the water at about 10 and fished until 2. Well Hell, I never got a single bite :cry: I started in Toll Road hitting both the backs of the coves and the points out to 50+ft. Saw some 2-3lb cruisers in the backs but they were ...

Another day of avoiding Murray, I found myself down at the SD river this morning. The weather was cold, then got unusually warm,which I thought was not a good sign but at least I am out fishing.
I threw all types of reaction baits in all shapes and colors that I thought would attract a bite and ...

Haha you and me both brotha!

When we were all fishing Sunday I was chatting with Doug AKA Early release , and told him that I couldn't honestly remember the last trip where I got skunked....well.... Not only did I jinx myself I got the whole group too. DOH!

So I returned to Murray yesterday determined to smell better, and the ...

Drop shotting is ok, just dont wacky rig a senko or throw an Alabama rig or next thing you know youll be closing the refrigerator door with your hips

Dan, I was lucky as ......well, you know what to even catch that micro bass at the river yesterday. In 2025, it has been a bad start
for me also as I have not caught a single bass that even got near tipping the scale at 2lbs. My only highlight was only one bass,
the 3.25 bass at the river in late ...
