San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Been hitting the B pretty much all May with decent results. Today I took my cousin but we got too lazy to pump our tubes and decided to fish off the dock. It paid off pretty good. I got my share of crappie and this nice bass on a bluegill swimbait he got a decent one on a jig. It was pretty ...

100% ^^^ It can be hard to be disciplined to wait. Especially when they are chewing. Excitement can easily take over and when you hear or see the bite, it’s easy to instantly swing.


Well said the excitement gets the best of me everytime,
ima have to bend the hooks up a bit great advise

I did catch one. Chucking a crank in Hauser and right as I threw, one ...

I'm not really sure if I like having panoptix, I don't use it much, and when I do, it's not the favorite to see fish moving away from your lure.

I think that's the most helpful aspect of forward facing sonar.

We went through stages on FFS learning. The first few weeks, we'd giggle like ...

You may have to slow down to whack those inactive Bass. Most of my hits on the jig were in the 5 seconds I let it lay there before barely moving it.

Great pics and topwater day!! C might have you on the I think I can” award…Monday at Otay she caught literally a 1” bass fry, tiniest thing ever, biting a 4” senko. I have no idea what it was thinking but it cracked us up. I really F’d up not getting that pic for the ages.

Got out usual time, Jose let us in early, wasn’t too busy at Pigs, met our buddies Dave and Joe, headed to Hauser. Consistently good popper bite ALL day, even got one on a Rat, the biggest was 4lb on a frog! Braided line really got it done, did lose some big fish on barbless hook, but overall ...

45 degrees at 4am brr
Met up with Chuck and Dave at launch
Motored the Scadden to hauser, blue bird skies, wind came up mid morning
A few on the popper first thing but majority of my fish today was on 4 inch fluke, 10 inch black/blue power worm (El Salto Special) and black lizard working back out ...

Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to trying out the top water bite tomorrow.

Nice report bro looks like topwater should be picking up a lot more this month. That last picture is asking for a snake to be thrown

Googan bait

Nice report bro looks like topwater should be picking up a lot more this month. That last picture is asking for a snake to be thrown 😆

I know, a snake would be great. I had fun with the crazy crawler. I have a megabass I-wing, but I didn't have it with me. Last week, Chuck was throwing a rat ...

Is the first cast fish jinx real? Followed by a second cast fish? Maybe it is a jinx as a few minutes later a fatty bit the senko, got air so we could see the prize, then proceeded to dive straight under the boat and break off a 12lb fluoro leader. And to top that off, while I was nursing that wound ...

Nice report brotha.... topwater is always a blast i have a couple rats that are gonna get chewed on this weekend

Yes that fog was insane! I was more fearful about boaters not having lights. I stuck around main lake until sunlight, found new areas otherwise I would never fished. Caught a nice 3.5 on the new crawler.

I think the tail of the swimbait is in the belly

I was surprised to get a boat ticket since I logged in from work to do it...don't tell my boss...but I did so day before Fathers day I went (no, not with my kids they don't fish much), but with my buddy Chris. Started in the fog...just a bit but it was chilly. I guess we are late starters since we ...

OK, take two!

After just doing a full write up of the day and everything the website logged me out and I have to do it again. But that’s OK because it was such a fun day. I don’t mind telling the story again. After ...

Hey Dave never brought beers on my boat 🤔

Great day out there Chris! Your whopper plopper retrieve caught my eye…are you actually pausing just an hair and letting it sink some or is that my imagination? I’ve always used a constant fairly quick retrieve like a buzzbait so it always stays on top of ...
