San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Getting very promising feedback from California Waterboards on Loveland's future, including balancing beneficial uses and environmental care. DFW is one of the participants in taking care of Loveland now. There won't be punishment for what Sweetwater did, but it seems everybody knows it can be done ...

Here is the Fox Coverage of the Meeting.

Would like to see the fish population come back. Was some really nice catfish in the lake. Been seeing some really fat bass around 10 to 11 inches in small schools.

Not really new, but I have been deleting a bunch of old photos, and looking at all the "I gotta get back there" spots...
Those two creeks up in the Cuyamacas.
That one creek up in Big Bear. And maybe that other creek, too.

My goals are to get a smallmouth from the local waters up here in cowboy land....and a burbot.

Ck, I'm in on the canals, morena, and creeks.

As you know I was a canal maniac for 4-5 years. Need to go back there this year. Many many great days and bad days out there.

Fish more!!!! ....

Catch fish from my Kayak in the bays, maybe offshore, halibut hopefully. I just got a trolling motor for it.
I just started fishing stocked trout to hang out with a new friend and it's more fun than I thought it would be, and the family will eat them....easy to do, easy to do with novices, cheap ...

During this special time of year(cannot talk about the religious aspects as you know), there is lots of giving to show our love or
appreciation to our loved ones in our family and friends. There are gifts of all shapes and sizes and values given to others, but what
is most important as they say ...

Got mine about a year ago.

Nice gentleman at our local boat ramp handed me the pamphlet which contained the test. I took it, sent the $10, and had my temp card in 10 days and my permanent card in about a month.

I'm now seeing companies charging quite a bit for 'classes', for something that is ...

I got mine but it was a pain in the ass and typical California money grab (

After spending many years working on and running boats, I’m somewhat glad they require this. Even though most of the test revolves around life jackets. There are A LOT of people that don’t know the “rules of the road” in navigable waters. The test just touches on them but it’s good. No where near a ...

I went ahead and paid the $29 for a course and let them handle the paperwork. I got my permanent in around 2 weeks

This time of year trout is your best bet there. 4lb test, ultralight rod/reel combo and Powerbait is the easiest beginner set up. Just cast it out and wait til your rod tip starts bouncing.

hello everyone. my 10 yo son and i have a newly found interest on fishing but as all beginners we need all the help we can get. We plan to start fishing at Dixon lake but first i need to buy some rods. then figure out what hooks and what bait so any help/advice would be highly appreciated ...

On a day like today where we are experiencing lots and lots of rain and I am not fishing, I woke up early, grabbed a cup of coffee and started my morning off checking out bass fishing videos on YouTube. It is amazing how many bass fishing videos are out there. I kept watching more and ...

Loveland Transfer is underway. It will all be fine. Can't help but imagine if those "water professionals" had transferred at this time last year like was always done before.

Greetings All,

Finally got some time off to get the workshop set for the boat (picking it up next month from Oceanside), and get my tackle set up. What started as the "man cave" ended up becoming a partial "she shed/she shacks." 1/3 of the workshop is for craft storage and Christmas decorations ...

Too funny, when I lived in Oceanside, guys would come over just to hang in the garage. More than a few times it was referred to as the "tackle shop"

Just showed these photos to the wife for comparison. See honey, I’ve got a long way to go!

I have the best wife; she just comes out to the workshop and quietly reminds me who owns the 13lb and twin 10lbs largemouth bass records mounts, and I reply, " You baby" One day I'll catch a double-digit ...
