San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Ahhh the times when a 120 mile round trip was affordable. Haven’t been surf fishing in a min…

I definitely believe harvest is a factor. Take tweakers for instance. Modern day tweakers aren’t into fishing like the old school guys. Back in the day, there were a lot of guys smoking the pipa and taking out over limits all over Sd at night…Back in the day for some odd reason, there were a lot ...

There was a time, especially before I got the swim bait bug, the only plastics I fished were watermelon red flake brush hawgs… I won’t lie, there were quite a few bags of chocolate blue veins still in the garage on stand by. It is an amazing g bait. When the bite is tough, split shotting tiny brush ...

I’m one of those guys that don’t like tournaments or tournament fisherman. Sorry. Well, not sorry… I’ve only ever done ones at night, not for the tournament aspect, just to be able to fish a normally closed at night lake in a boat. The stereotype seems to fit 90%.

If you wanna see that stereotype ...

Niiiice

Nope, most lakes here are just a permit.

Except Morena. I couldn’t believe it. They charge the same price as a boat launch for the tube. Oh how times have changed….

Lake Morena

Pretty sure cuyamaca still has a refund program if you pull carp out of the water and bring them up to the concession, they will refund your permit price. They are pretty thick in the shallows.

Giza? Maybe a portal to somewhere else?! Haha

That’s relatively new. They used to never charge for tube launch. Or parking fee.

I just emailed them, can’t hurt… mentioned they are the only lake in the county (they are a different entity, sdparks) that charges a tube launch fee and that it’s the same price as a boat launch which doesn’t make any sense.

Touché

Now you guys have to tally your entry fee expenses and figure cost per fish lol

Things aren’t as cheap as they used to be….

Key word WASTE

Hendrix was waterborded with wine…

Cornell, Bourdain and Chester were allegedly looking into a trafficking ring and speaking up on it… next thing, they all “committed suicide”
Like roncador said, the industry is dark. A lot of those guys play with fire and get burned.

Moloch needs his sacrifices…

I didn’t get to fish it as much this year as I wanted. I’m playing victim of the economy. My favorite lures the 4 times I went was the triple trout blue gill and Shad. Like 619bassin said, the bigger baits get the bigger fish. Less numbers. Then when it slowed down, a slim fluke was my go to. Place ...

Double fluke rig is awesome. Nail weighting the far fluke can help if you want to get it down.

Illuminati, jesuits and masons are all intertwined. There is definitely a lot more dark than light in the industry. It doesn’t stop me from breaking the Led out…

Back to the topic for Vin Dawg,

I was born too late to see the GREATS. I did get to see page and plant and the who minus moon.

My most ...

That’s a great point you’re fishing in the beginning. You wouldn’t even know it was there without a graph or low water

With how long that fish looks and the size of its fins…it’s definitely waiting for a trout stock to add another 3lbs or so…
