San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

2 weeks back, a friend and I spent some time fishing around the Lone Pine area. The gentleman at the tackle shop told us that it would be tough ..as they had not received a stock in over a month. We started at the Tuttle creek campground and found some trout in the creek. Super spooky in the gin ...

Made I way around Utah not much fishing but did hit strawberry reservoir and provo river for a few. Strawberry was hoping for some cutthroat, only rainbows. Could catch them all day if you wanted, nothing big. Weather got cold and rainy with snow not to far off. Went to provo river resort camping ...

Hi guys, took that journey from cal to Colorado. Stopped right off the 70 at Fremont Indian park. The stream was loaded with cutthroat. Used little spinners.

Here are a few shots of the 75 1/2 pound Blue Catfish caught on a Buzzbait last Monday

Fished an Elsinore Derby on Sat. It is a 5 species tournament, lmb, wipers, catfish, carp and crappie. Conditions were horrible strong winds and freezing. My cousin brought his little boat out from San Diego. It was extremely difficult to fish, the wind was blowing us around like crazy. I couldn't ...

This is an amazing article that will help you catch fish in SD bay, so I figured it has to be re-posted here.

The fishing in SD Bay is simply amazing. You basically have a buffet of fish to ...

Employee appreciation party at Tower Beach Club, I always have my gear in the truck so figured why not? Threw out some mussel meat on a Carolina rig just to see what happens. Bam! First ever stingray within 5 minutes. Did the same again, boom! Bent rod and got snapped off immediately. No idea what ...

Sand is much softer than the silt in the channel, easier on old worn out shoulders. You can get to the shrimp fairly easily any time the tide is at +1 foot (and lower, of course).

Got on it from the Natty City ramp around 7. It was calm, smooth, with a hint of tropical rain here and there. Steady spotty bite on plastics/underspins at Square Mile. Figured there might also be a channel bite and slid out to the main just south of the bridge. Instantly rewarded with a better ...

Looks like a great Bday trip... Nice mix... I really like the SNGF... They put on a great fight... WTG... And Happy Birthday...

Thank you very much. And yea I love catching sngf and rays just due to the fight, now I’m just slowly gearing up my arsenal for trout season, testing new ul rods ...

Juvenile Spotted Cabrilla caught before the rain. Evidence of a breeding population in our local waters? Or just a lost fish…

Cudas were swarming off Harbor Island Sunday morning. Caught about a dozen on crankbait. My buddy was using a swim bait and they were hitting that also, but he couldn’t get a hook up until he went to a smaller bait. Of course, the one time I didn’t bring my fly rod…..

Plain Cotton thread works fine. You only need special fishing thread if you wear special fishing shirts. And special fishing shorts. Or if you just want to feel special.

If you're not using a spinning rod, and a carolina rig, stop reading. You're wasting your time reading this, and you're wasting ...

I used to have an issue keeping the bait on the hook when casting. Now I've figured out around that but it doesn't stay on long enough once on the bottom because the wrasse gnaw it off. So I've always been meaning to do it with the thread but does that help with the wrasse?


Hope you packed a ...
