San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Cool. I’m all for harvest etc but that’s just disrespectful. If that how you like to treat a resource and one that’s been through the ringer, good for you man.

(Responding to killing time)

I must have missed it in your vid basshound where you pulled the fish 20 foot through the air when landing it before you through it back in.

Lure retrievers are definitely a great investment.

It’s all good. Honestly the wading and go pro was a joke. I’d be lying if I didn’t swim more than once for something in that lake. The release was rough.

Take it easy killing time, all I had to “know” you by was your response to this post. “Agreeing” with that “toss” wasn’t funny in the context of ...

Super nice local tail. Congrats!

I had to find two more strikes and the go pro and wading was a joke. Internet humor rarely comes across correctly obviously… although I was bothered by what I saw. I only said something because that’s my home lake I’ve been fishing it for over 35 years and my uncle used to be the dam keeper there ...

I have the BPS one, I tig welled some bigger hoops on it when I was religiously throwing big swim baits. It has definitely saved me well over $2000. The hound dog is almost the same. I welded bigger chain with big j hooks and attached it to Tuna cord to it. I’ve had to go to the bank to get leverage ...

There’s a lot of alternatives to LC. - cheaper and more expensive. LC work 100% but so do others. LC is a very well made lure though. There was another lure from Japan that I absolutely loved but it’s impossible to find. (Haven’t looked recently) the model was surf driver by “duo” I think??? In blue ...

Probably will never know, it may have been caught during off season

I’ve seen small bass and gills in pools below the Morena dam in hauser. You never now.

I’ve fished pismo a few times. Surf perch is the main targeteith lots of numbers but small. Same set up as here.

Striped bass are known to show. So you could dedicate jerk baits etc and “ignore” the perch.

There’s guys that get halibut up there on swim baits around Avila beach. I haven’t tried it ...

Yup, Hook2cook is the guy. I couldn’t remember the name

Nice fish! Congrats

Mcfish may have called it. Toilet to tap symptoms.

Hope you feel better!

The $ is the biggest bummer. Heard it’s free at night

Anything is possible and we will never know. I would hope not… But we know Who prevented the desired goal.

Where did you see that at? I read on the link you provided that fishing is prohibited….

Interesting. That story is on here from the “horse’s mouth”and there wasn’t a scale used…..pretty accurate weight for no scale and the fact they say “the scale said”

I miss that place so much

I’d take your sounder off the fish ID and use your standard gain adjustments. It’s harder to tell with fish alert setting. Thermocline can give you false readings. You’ll be able to see true marks better and adjust out the junk
