San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Thank you for starting a new SDFish site. I like reading and posting fishing reports and making it informative, fun and positive. Also, kudos for laying down some ground rules for the lounge. It had disintegrated into critical memes, negative social commentary and just plain bitterness. You probably ...

Not sure of the splash and spook theory. I imagine it varies by bodies of water. I’ve caught many, many bass that instantly hit a lure as it hits the water. Especially bigger swimbaits and by boulders and trees on the shore.

t's been tough trying to catch those elusive Crappie this Spring. With the inconsistent weather and all of the lakes filling up its been a battle. Plus Mother Nature has been know to put the best laid plans of a fisherman to sleep. So I made the 9 hr trek up North ...

Good job here, very detailed tests on 29 various brands:

The buckets of smaller fish that have been put into Loveland will spawn next year (if they aren't already getting busy). Their success depends on whether the water district screws around with the water level next spring and summer. "Genetics" aren't needed; with warm water, consistent water levels ...

I rarely have thrown an A-Rig when bass fishing. Being kind of an impatient fellow, I guess not getting immediate results have put using them kind of on a back burner. I just have so many other bass baits that I actually may have not given the A-Rig much of a chance. I am guessing that there are ...

I hate to state the obvious but by the looks of your pics especially the double hook up you dont need help just use it more.

Hey Hookemdano.....see that that you found this SDFish ...

The thread has been deleted and it would be best for everyone to stop throwing jabs at each other.
If anybody wants to continue please use private messages, email, boxing ring or any other platform of your choice.
Thank you.

Not this again

Lmao this has to be sarcasm

Just a heads up to anyone heading to Lake Murray with a boat as the water level
is now very, very low and you may not be able to launch. Even my buddy Paul went
there to launch his bass boat over the weekend and took off to to El Cap because he told
me about the low water at the ramp.
I went over ...

I am re-posting this as a few out there still are having problems with their photos....hope this helps

In the A nnouncements Support and Feedback area of SDFish there is a post about how to fix a sideways photo by rotating it.

I thought I would also give a basic step by step example(with ...

My tips from last week's outing.

1. If your chatterbait doesn't have an immediate wobble on the first wind, you bought yourself a crap chatterbait.

2. When stripers are boiling, try throwing something underneath them. That's where the largies and smallies like to hang out and let the stripers do ...

Of course all of us have lots and lots of tips but one of the tips that just comes to mind is something my father taught me years ago when I was young.
Before each fishing trip, he taught me to always cut about a foot or so off the line and retie whatever you had previously had tied on your line. He ...

Carry a small piece of rubber sheet, (cut up an old inner tube). Run it over leader line coils to straighten it out. Works like magic.

I have seen fly fishing stores sell a piece of rubber on a clip for a few dollars (LOL).

Another cool thing to do with those old bike inner tubes: cut a 4 ...

And most fish have at least rough edges in their mouths or gill covers that can abrade line.

Even largemouth bass have rough surfaces that will abrade line: https://tacklevillage.com/do-bass-have-teeth/


Fished a local lake last weekend and had some pretty decent boils in the morning, and after ...

I thought we were done with Hillary's.

(I kid, I kid)

Time will tell of course, but Sweetwater was pretty certain Loveland will overtop.

Will be nice to have the lakes re-fill/top off, and those that didn't to do so. Small miracle for fishermen, huh?
All SD lakes to close Sun and Mon, just announced.
