San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I saved a lot of gas and aggravation this year as I was almost there every Friday with my kayak enjoying some fun bass fishing in previous years. My last trip there was in the beginning of May and I threw everything and the kitchen sink that normally works and it resulted in only one bass. Nothing ...

I have not been back there in about 2 months. Definitely was a weekly thing in years past. Super unfortunate…

Was on the lake heading to the Del Dios arm by 5;30 am . Didnt have much action picked up a couple clone fish but nothing to write home about. I threw shad raps, micro jigs, spinner baits and sencos > everyone i talked too was saying it had slowed down. About 9;30 I put on a finesse football jig on ...

That’s a great day anywhere!

Well done 1FishDude!! A little honey hole makes it for a great day!

Spent my weekend at my favorite local body of water for a shore bang.

Maybe the most fun weekend of the year? Both days the bite was on fire early. Saturday I managed to get some worm fish later after the moving bait bite seemed to be exhausted, but they were dinks compared to the quality fish I’d ...

Right place, right time!

Went back for a couple hours before work this morning and can confirm… still going..

Hey @McFish…..Sorry to hear how many times you post stories recently that somehow disappear. I hope you don’t think I had anything to do with it. I enjoy your reading your posts and glad this one appeared. Always fun to see your fishing adventures especially on “McFish Monday’s.” Nice job out and ...

Looked for you out there yesterday. Didn't find you. Same thing for me...foggy, cool in the morning and no bites. Caught my 1st one at 10:41 and the second one at 11:25...both on my black frog. Missed to blowups and missed a hook set on a drop shot in the Toll Road Arm. Left the lake at noon.

Was thinking of hitting the SD River with my kayak this morning but changed my mind and instead headed out to it El Cap. I must say thank you to Jeromy(#CorsoEnthusiast) for providing added inspiration to help make my decision. The weather was crisp this morning and lake was very glassy but knew it ...

thats a narrow road & a nice roll to the bottom if he would have went over the ledge....

Your Rage and Googan craws always seem to produce. Way to branch out to another lake.

Well after my last great session at Lake Hodges I went back yesterday and was on the water to early my old body was saying to me. I wanted to make it back to the structure I fished with great success my last time. It was a hell of a swim backwards even though i was using my new drill paddle i made ...

How do you top a car? A few know that Vinny already had a phobia of that road! Probably did not help!

I now consider that road as dangerous as LA traffic at rush hour….. ha ha

Any combination of brown/purple, green pumpkin/purple, green pumpkin/blue seems to be pretty universal ...

Sorry if the pics show up out of order...they go where they want, regardless of where I put 'em in the text.

Got that out of the way. Only 2 bass, saw a crap ton of 'em but they just weren't interested in what I was throwing. In a couple spots there were bluegill on the ...

Some of you guys have known me and my family for a while. We ALL fish. Well, we’ve been teaching my youngest (Isabella) how to use a proper spinning setup for the last year. She’s 6yrs mind you. She’s now become sufficient enough to cast, reel on her own. Just the basic worm set up. Mostly just ...
