That looks like a lot of fun to me. I haven't tried Miramar yet, but I think you may have convinced me. It's close and sounds nice.

Also the Social D shirt is awesome.

Hello all,

Barrett provided today. Here's the details though. Met Chuck at 0415 at pigs and we went our separate but similar ways, knowing we'd meet up later. At 0430 there was that light wind from the north and temp was already warm. Water temp was 80. I went to the mouth of Hauser and Becky's ...

Hey brotha what popper did you use? Im not having luck with any poppers this year


Any popper you want, as long as it's dark. I have used Hula Popper 2.0, Megabass, Googan and Rapala. As long as it's dark on bottom, I have been lucky. Almost every one is on the pause, also, so you can enjoy ...

Hello all,

Here's my report on Barrett today. Got there at the usual time and got on the water right at 0430. Pedaled over to Hauser, and started throwing noisy topwaters in the dark. Heard some thunder and saw some flashes in the distance. Had some light rain in the dark by me. Kept working back ...

glad to be able to help you ohttps://www.sdfish.org/download/file.php?mode=view&id=2558ut,it was a special trip fishing with my daughterIMG_1449.jpg as always a great day at barrett


Before you two took over my buddy towed me with his Kayak, while his buddy in another one held the side of my ...

I'd agree with the above comments, Barrett and San Vicente. Barrett, you could use almost anything and probably get a bass. San V seems to me, to be best done with finesse techniques. Dixon isn't bad during the week and I think it's cheaper for a boat there. I always fish there from the shore and I ...

Hi FisherMax09,

Southern CA is really a decent fishery all over. Check this website and you'll see everyone has favorites all over the county. I didn't notice anyone mentioning Hodges, either. But that's a lake with some big fish. Certainly worth a look.

I think you just need to go fish, and not ...

That looks like a great morning. Topwater is my favorite ( I think that's a popular statement ), so it's nice to see topwater rewarded. It speaks to your skills though, to go from topwater to finesse so easily and keep landing them.
Tight lines,

Hi everyone,

Here's my report of the day. Woke up and was moving like a man of a much more advanced age, so it took more than the usual cup of coffee to get myself in the truck. Got on the water about 30 minutes late, But it still was dark and strangely cool out. Pedaled over to Hauser, with my ...

Nice job getting in and out before the crowds. Is that your new Alumacraft boat? I'll bet that makes San V pretty nice.

I'd guess either September 30th (Saturday) or the 27th (Wednesday) Tickets for september should go on sale tomorrow night.

Those bluegills were so much fun. I'll do that anytime, even if the bass are biting.

Hello all,

Here's what I saw at Barrett this Wednesday. Got there at 0415, on the water at 0445, once again moving as if I had all day. Air temp wasn't bad, wind was pretty light also. Water temp at Pigs, was 78.3F. Caught first fish at 0500, which was nice. It always feels better after you have ...

I think it was great you stuck with your plan and didn't go to finesse until the end. This year I have been forcing myself to use other lures and it's really paid off for me with poppers and stickbaits. I very much prefer the topwater bite, and I think I'm not alone there. :) Yesterday the topwater ...

Nice job out there Dave! Interesting on the mini jig. In the past it was a go-to when the bite got finicky later season. And a productive one at that. Yes there's lots of bluegill bycatch (or are the bass bycatch?) but we seemed to catch more bass and many nice sized at that. Its a real trick ...

Hi,

Quick report for today. Arrived later in the morning, 0700, met my buddy Jim and pedaled over to Hauser. Air temp was mid 70s F I think, water temp was 77F. Jim held a seminar on fishing offshore structure with a jig and boated 7 fish before I even got started. I pedaled around and picked up 1 ...

In the market for a new FF and will give the Panoptix a good look. Thanks for your report. Going next Saturday!


See you Saturday. I'm really happy with the Panoptix/livescope. The hardest part of the install was milling my transducer bracket to allow it to invert, so my transducer stays above ...

When fish get away, am I the only guy who wonders how big they were....... especially on the drive home and even as I type this post?. :-). Ha ha



No, you are not the only guy who wonders how big they were. I always allow myself to decide they were between 8 and 12 pounds, so impressive ...

Nice work. Good numbers and fish and you got out before the crowds.

It would have to rain quite a bit to start runoff that would really impact the road. There's a couple spots that I think may need attention for this winter, because they might wash out. One actually has a cone by it. Weather underground is predicting less than an inch of rain. But if you look at the ...

Hey, isn't that the lure you lent me? It does work! Nice report and nice work finding the fish in the heat.
