San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Took me 20 mins get this before gate closed got there at 7pm Vinny got a nice one on craw so I went landed this on the dolive 4”

Best day of the year so far at Murray. Caught a dozen fish, and all but two of them were over 2 pounds. Plus three nice ones, a 3.2 pounder, a 3.7 pounder and a 4.3 pounder.

It isn't the most fish I've caught at Murray this year but definitely the most quality. All on BFS gear.

Yeah but around the edges in 8-10 feet.

After some quality bigger fish yesterday it was back to clones at Murray today. I actually wasn't going to post, but I just had to share a picture of this pretty clone I caught. The picture doesn't really do it justice. It had the most beautiful golden almost orange tone to it. Very dark and vivid ...

Just starting to get into some bigger swimbaits and glide baits. What are you throwing at our local lakes and/or what pattern do you think would work best?

I mean since you asked lol BFS...BFS...BFS.

Rad day at Murray. I stopped counting at 30 fish. Lots of bass in the high 2 pound range and 3 fish over 3 pounds. Also caught the biggest bluegill I've ever seen. Fat as hell. It's mouth was big enough for my scale and it weighed in at 2.54 lbs.

So much fun, it almost makes me regret leaving on ...

I could fish Lake Murray roughly 20 times vs one time on the round trip distance going from my house to the Lake of D & K, but it is always a fun adventure which makes it worth it. And besides, it is always a pleasure to run into fellow SDFish folks like Fisheromen and Mcfish . Started off kind of ...

It's always a fun time when you've got Vinnybass and Fisheromen on the lake with you! DK was in my wheelhouse today! I mixed it up today throwing various plastics and picked up 31 fish, mostly the clone variety...but fun, fun, fun! Mr. Vinny always inspires me to throw different baits, since he is ...

Great job out Dan!
I a so curious to know is how many times do you circle the lake? I have watched you cover the whole lake fishing along the shorelines. That is really smart thinking because you’re covering so much area where most people just hit a handful of spots. The more areas you cover ...

Headed out with the girl about 5:30 and plenty of boats had already launched. Ramp is darn close to its end but ok for another day, week, maybe two. @Moose was right on from yesterday, fish are on the chew. Saw that topwater shad trapped against the shore right away. We had stopped just shy of where ...

My son and I fished Barrett on opening weekend. I never bought into the talk about 100 bass days. Well, I caught 106 and now I am a believer. As you can imagine, I wasn’t expecting much at Murray this morning. I ended up having one of my best days at Murray. It started out slow for me so I switched ...

Hello SDFish,

I've seen many helpful comments on this forum but I figured I'd also ask myself: which local lake(s) would you recommend for bank fishing? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Lake, Jennings and Lake Poway are two SD County lakes that come to mind and have lots of shoreline you could access for bass fishing.
The obvious lake that I would suggest would be Lake Murray as it has also lots of shoreline for bass fishing. It probably is the easiest to fish from shore. Also all ...

Hit santee lakes this morning as soon as they opened to the public 7am hit lakes 2 and 3 for nothing and finally hit lake 4 I fished all around the pond and was on my phone not paying attention when i noticed my line moving to the left I quickly set the hook and I was insta hooked up with this nice ...

Been about a week and a half since my last trip to Murray which was fun and topped off with a 5.50 lb bass. Always pretty excited to be back on the water at Murray, but something seemed strange. Scouting around there was literally no busters anywhere. I think I only saw one but the lake surface was ...

So much for weather forecasts! Winds of 10-12 mph predicted..wrong! It started out calm and beautiful, fishing was a little slower than last week, partly because 4 guys were sitting on my not so secret spot! By 9:00, a slight breeze out of the east started up, and living in Ramona, I know that can ...

Went back to the well at my current favorite lake in San Diego County looking to take advantage of the hot springtime bite that has been going on. The video is compilation of my last 2 trips out there, one in the boat and one walking and wading. Had 7-8 fish per trip with plenty of 2-4lb footballs ...
