San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

My buddy Joe joined me again this morning in hopes of another topwater bonanza like we had in May(boating 21 bass). Only this time with little to no topwater action at all. As the water glassed off, I thought to myself......is this a lake or an oil painting? ha ha. I mean there was a random bass ...

Vinny is to special to fish the ds, he has his tokyo rig.....

By the way @mcfish.......I noticed you do not have an avatar so I found you a couple samples that you may want to use one…. or this one seems like a good choice...

Good show blokes! Love the Sunnies!

Thanks for the report JJ. It can only get better as we enter the Summer.

“Fished the dropshot today for 31 fish!! With the best 31 totaling 32.7lbs!!”


Sweet!!!
Thank you StinkyPunky23. You proved(and what McFish also said) that using the drop shot really pays off. I need to try not so stubborn and stop using 5-10 other baits it before I finally go to a DS on a slow ...

Headed to Cap this morning for about 5 hours. Pounded the shoreline with a variety of baits until I found what they wanted to chew on, which ended up being spinnerbaits. Caught a handful of clones. Nothing big, but still catching. Looks like the heat is on next weekend.
Typical size this morning ...

Cool. I did the afternoon shift, been a month, surprised it's down 10', but heard water still coming in at north trees. Only got two, one j/b and on boot leg frog. Lost an absolute monster in 1' of water, on the boot tail fluke. She exploded on it, and I couldn’t feel anything and kept reeling but ...

Looks like fun!

I was at Santana's Graduation on Wednesday. Some some balloons float off. I commented, they would end up in San Vee. I was close, El Cap.

Funny! Don't tell Vinny that, he'll believe you.....

Geez…I just rigged up 10 fishing rods will drop shots.
I am ready for action.

Having a great time on our annual trip to Pelican Lake, Minnesota. The largies and smallies are coughing up crawdads so I have been throwing my trusty craw bait. They love senkos here also. For the evening topwater action it’s the rat for me and the whopper plopper for the other guys. The local Bent ...

Hey, if someone could let me know how to turn pictures around that would be great. Thanks!


Nice job out there at Pelican Lake. You and your brother out in Minnesota for your once a year adventure and
looks like you guys are having a blast. I straightened your pics out for you BigC, just like ...

Is that Mr Chatterbait with you?

I will read your fish report from last Monday again since they’ll be no report from this Monday. Looking forward to a fish report next Monday which seems so far away right now ha ha.

Guys who forgot that Otay is closed the second Wednesday of the month like clockwork usually end up this day at Murray. I thought to myself, I could fish Murray this morning and post a report(like you guys haven't seen them before...ha ha), but decided to venture out to the SD River for a few hours ...

Tokyo paid off again....

Hello folks! I know fishing is a sport of secret sauces and combos - but for those who are newer (myself included) and who want to branch out from the dark/muddy, clear/bright stereotypes of plastics. What colors / shapes / brands are we using in what time of the year / conditions?

For me the last ...

You can never go wrong with a t-rigged 6-10” chocolate blue vein

I just remembered...that's my Whopper Plopper...yeah...that's it!


So now you’re gonna tell me you lost that bait at El Cap years ago and somehow it found its way over to the dam and traveled where they’re letting the water out and ended up down the River where I was fishing. Sounds logical ...
