San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Arrived at Otay just as they opened the gate, and launched my tube from North Point. No sooner had I kicked out than the bass started busting all around me.

Caught my first 5 on a topwater walking bait. Then switched over to my little deep diving crankbait. Caught 11 more bass and 8 really large ...

Rigged up a number of rods with baits and got my boat ready for a morning adventure to Murray. Packed my lunch and drinks and I
was on my way. I was daydreaming hoping for some top water action and then suddenly reality hit. OMG!... I totally spaced and
forgot today is the second Tuesday of the ...

After driving up to find Murray closed on Tuesday, I decided to give it a go this morning.
Seeing that I already caught 2 big catfish in May fishing for bass, I somehow managed to catch another catfish that gobbled down my Texas rigged brush hog. I thought at first it was a nice bass for about 20 ...

Took my oldest son float tubing at D&K. Awesome day. My son is just now getting the fishing bug at 35....but he's still really new to it.

He ended up with 7 and I caught 16. Several were caught on walking topwater baits and poppers, a few on a crankbait. After the topwater action slowed, the rest ...

Same one. I really love it.

Have an old work and fishing buddy here visiting that bolted to North Carolina in ‘99. We picked up our rivalry right where we left off at El Cap this morning from 6-9:30. He got a white spinnerbait fish quickly and I nabbed one on a micro 1/8 Oz jerkbait. BTW that was on the Dannicus Ark BFS reel ...

Nice job out there. The pics tell the story as it is always fun to fish with an old fishing buddy. You guys
probably caught up on lots of fish stories no doubt. That was nice of you letting him catch one more than you
but that was probably only a one time deal. Anyway, I enjoyed your post and so ...

First of all...
Hey there....is anybody bass fishing anymore?
I did not go fishing for a week(which felt like a month) and always look for new bass fishing reports daily(actually sometimes hourly)and lately they are rare to find. It makes the site a lot more fun to see how people are doing out ...

Since I fish nearly everyday It'd get pretty darned boring seeing posts all the time so I cut back. Still, not wanting to see poor Vinny go into apoplectic withdrawals due to lack of fish porn here are a few pictures from last week's lakes.

I've been having a lot of topwater walking bait success ...

Met a gentleman named Mike at the lake who told me that he actually enjoys my posts here on the forum so this one's for you brother.

I arrived Mcfish 's lake when it opened and got on the water just in time for some excellent topwater action. I caught 5 quality bass in the first hour and a half on ...

Thanks brother!

I fished lake Murray this morning, and the water was so low that it was almost at the end of the boat ramp. On the plus side, I had the place almost all to myself (except for a few shore guys that arrived mid-morning).

There were a lot of bass busting early, but I couldn't get them to take my top ...

Yesterday, I loaded my smaller kayak and headed over to Lake Murray in hopes of fishing only a few hours before the heat arrives. Aware that they were lowering the water level like they do every year for the 4th of July Fireworks show, I just assumed the ramp would still have a little water on it. I ...

After an abysmal Saturday at Sutherland yesterday (a handful of dinks) I thought to redeem myself at El Capitan today. The topwater bite really never got going at either lake this weekend, at least where I was fishing.

It had been a minute since I'd worm fished, so I T-rigged a 7 inch fat Roboworm ...

Was out at Hodges early Sunday morning to test out my newly refurbished Pontoon and to see what I could catch. I had a stellar day catching over a dozen bass. I wanted to see if my battery would hold up all the way to the dam and lucky for me it did because I was throwing an Evergreen Pc5 and most ...

El Capitan 7/2
I threw every topwater and mid-column lure I own and got nary a nibble....zip...nada....nuttin. I switched to the bottom and zing bada bing! Senkos, jigs, Roboworms, if I had it, I threw it and they ate it! And they didn't give a rat's bass about color either, it all worked. I ended ...

Otay 7/3
The topwater bite this morning was the best I've seen in years! Got 11 bass on walking baits, poppers, and even one frog fish thrown in for fun. After the top bite slowed, I switched to a small crankbait and added three more bass and 2 humongous bluegill. What an awesome morning.

It had to be hot as heck out there as I was doing some yard work this morning and stopped early as the heat
was so bad I was worried it might have end my future bass fishing adventures forever......you are a stud Dannicus !
Glad to see you are out there having fun.
I posted something from one of ...

Just listening to some recorded podcasts that Bruce Smith has started. Specializing just in San Diego bass fishing. He’s got some great bass fisherman on, which I appreciate. Also, he’s covering information on the city and the county’s plans on closing some of our lakes certain days and months per ...
