San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Nice one! We may have fished near you in Hauser. Saw deer too. Always cool. On your crawler, many years ago I found a jitterbug that gurgles and wobbles good and I thought it would get them to go for sure. No luck after 10 minutes today so I went back to flukes. Will have to dedicate some time to my ...

Nice chunk bro

Headed out to Big B on Saturday a lot of kayakers out there and me and my daughter found a school of bait fish and schools of bass at the chomp. We ended up with about 50 or so between the both of us.we had an awesome time and it was her first time on the kajak so that was awesome. All on topwater ...

Still working on quantity but quality is way up! Was on the lake 420 at Pine Arm by 445. Got some dropshot in the water and caught one with the stars still out! That was really fun. Then moved deeper into Pine and saw some boiling that I was able to put a white/chartreuse jackhammer on. Didn't weigh ...

Hey brother we did awesome it was a slow start but we got to the back of a cove and that’s when the magic happened. All on the whopper plopper. Thank you for helping my daughter when we launched. And I’ll be out there on Saturday again hope to see you there brother.!

Nice work on top water fun!! Especially on first time kayaking.

That's the beauty of Barrett, you can try any bait and most time it works. Glad to show you what works.

I was stoked to hear about the Bug, had mine for years and have only thrown it couple of times.I was in the water about the same time down Hauser way and crushing big ones, same way double twitch and Bam . Can't wait to get back . GETT'EN BUGGY WITH IT

Nice work Dave!!

Yes sir nice break down

Great Job, proof good deeds provide great results!

Was lucky and got boat tickets for Saturday and Sunday .
First trip this season for us ..
Camped at the Skyline RV Ranch , only a few minutes from the front gate. Up at 03:30 to the gate at 04:00 that’s way better than a 3 hour drive ..! Limited cell service, good power and water no issues, super ...

Yeah, they were busting lake crazy and chasing bait in a giant circle (think 400 yard diameter, at least) at the very beginning of the Pine arm just north of where the port-a-potty used to be at the Hauser/Pine split.

I managed a 4 pounder on a keitech out in the middle (among other basically 2 ...

Thanks guys for the info. Going Wednesday.

Got most of the way beck in Hauser by 5:30. Our first stop yielded 10 on various flukes and shad roboworms thrown at trees and the banks. We kept hearing splashes behind us so made the decision to chase boilers midlake. Nice payoff as we bagged another 21 throwing and dragging swimming minnows. Got ...

20230722_102221.jpg 5th time at barret last Saturday and it was another good day landed about 20plus with a bunch of early release ... parked at pigs and set sail for mid hauser. While everyone was on the shores i hit the middle of the lake and only saw one other guy chasing the boils... The boils ...

Sounds like a nice day almost like mine .... landed about 20 or so bass with biggest being 3.5 3.6... i have to say a barret 2 pound fish fights like a otay 4 pounder ...what jerkbait did you throw?

I agree with you both on Barrett bass’s fighting strength! My biggest weighed 4 on the janky scale I swear I’m going to replace but it fought like a 5 or 6. A super fun day despite the heat.

Great times Dave! If you can manage the heat, now is the time.

Fished last Wed and the one before, very hot, but good topwater action helps me forget about it.
