San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I’m pretty sure I know one of the posts you’re referring to from the old site. Last year or maybe even last spring. I never said anything but almost left a comment. All the “different” fish and the same unique marking. Thinking it was Perris or Elsinore

Still, was it alive and caught or floating and snagged? Looks rough. Maybe someone bought it with intent to cut and eat It spoiled and they dumped it in the river as a prank? If it’s the real deal, very wild

Pressa el carrizo???

Porfavor take me!!!!!!!! Haha

The second pic where the head is on the bag in the water is probably exactly how they found it

Ever since the tsunami, shimano parts are very very hard to get. From what I was told, it wiped out most of the manufacturing. I waited almost a year for a new spool. eBay is your best bet for something used. You may be better off parting the reel out and see if they can hook you up on a new reel

I’ve caught jumbos south of Ensenada. Right a 2lbs.

Look at that ice! No cooler needed.

A couple more close ups from yesterday back in pine. Don’t get your panties in a bunch, just a drive by no fishing unfortunately

Left handers for the win

My go to bait has changed here and there. Waaaay back in the day for many many years, all I fished was a t rigged 6-12” chocolate blue vein. Any time of year. Very productive.
Then the worm switched to a brush hawg. Water melon red flake. A lot of night time tubing, didn’t need anything else ...

T-Rig Green Pumpkin Baby Brush Hog will get bit at any lake in SD! Grass, Rocks, Tules, Sticks it can do it all

I've never fished a Brush Hog. Do you throw it weightless or with a bullet weight? Pegged?
Inquiring minds want to know lol.


Not hijacking his answer but I’ll give my 2c.

Probably not going to be any dope on any dad spots. Places are sacred

Anytime I ever pounded the shore down in that area, I just used a typical bass rod with 12lb mono and a Kroc or jerk bait. I didn’t have any fancy jerk baits back then but would probably stick with a LC now. If you. A get your hands on some fresh pulpo (octopus), that would produce. I used to catch ...

If you call the guy at alpine fisheries, he can let bait fisherman in early. His business is at his residence. He normally opens at 7. He’s cheaper than the bait shops plus you can hand pick your dads.

Nice

If I do a little tresbassing, I’m a criminal…But if I wanted, I could walk out of Albertsons with a cart full of stolen groceries with no consequences and be a TikTok hero.

Man, those fish are absolutely beautiful. Zero flaws

Rumor has it, JIMBO is coming out of retirement this year and will be putting on a clinic at Murray

Careful, those PA rod holders can cut your line or nic it. Mine did any way. No way of getting to the rough spots without completely destroying the tubing.
