San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Heading out to run errands yesterday morning, I took one rod and a ziplock of a few assorted baits and thought I would stop by Santee Lakes for an hour or so since I would be out in that area. Heck, why not?
Somehow I changed my mind and just headed to the SD River to rough it(ha ha) and toss a few ...

Ventured more than a few miles from my house to the lake of Donald and Kiefer this morning. Greeted of course by Mcfish
and then later met up with Fisheromen . Headed over to an area which I quickly labeled "McFish Point" since he does seem to fish there often. Brought my lighter kayak(roughing it ...

I have endured Mr. Vinnybass harassing me for years, questioning my quanity over quality attitude..so today I put away my finesse baits and brought out the bigger stuff! The good news..I averaged bigger fish (I think). The bad news...my quanity was way down! The worse news...Vinny caught more than ...

Back at Pelican Lake in northern Minnesota for my annual trip. Weather is tough at times with wind and rain. Still getting some nice chunks on jigs, senkos, drop shot and my trusty craw bait. Not much action as yet for smallies though and too windy for topwater so far. We really can’t complain when ...

Cap was a popular spot this morning a lot boats on water ramp still open water level seems same got to same spot as last week middle lake north side rock piles boat was where I wanted to b guy and his kid started putting on a clinic kid had 10 on senco guy I believe William his name had 8 to my one ...

Nice angling as usual. What is that craw bait? Looks enticing.


It is a Yamamoto Psycho Dad craw bait. It is pretty soft and I like the way they made the claws.
What also is cool is on the underside there is a little hole there where you can put the tip
of your hook so it is more weedless.

I found a pattern on Lake Mohave my last day here. I got on the water at 3 am, and immediately headed to rocky areas I identified yesterday. I was casting weedless craw baits on to the bank and bouncing them down steep rocky banks.

Ended the day at 11am with nine largemouth and one smallie. Most of ...

By sneak I mean that most people have to work on Wednesdays...Got to Hodges, bought a ticket and drove over to the other side (which is the only side for me I guess) but half way there I remembered leaving my sunglasses on top of the ticket machine (oops) so I drove back and by some miracle they ...

Well I took my car to mechanic for oil leak so I took a break all week got to cap early 530 this morning no yak on foot I decided to fish the rock pile next to ramp boats still launching water level hasn’t dropped much 👍 was the right move I got 6 in first hour then I decided to cover ground wasn’t ...

...and far, far away, I ventured up to the Lake of D & K. Fisheromen and Mcfish were already therehaving the advantage living in Ramona and a hop skip and jump from the lake. Picked up just a couple on top with a few others found freedom tossing the hook while those guys were having a lot of action ...

I spent a lot of time underwater at Lake Perris in the Glenn Lau Era. He produced a film called Bigmouth in 1973 that spurred me to become a Scuba and later Freediver. I was making Money diving for Keys and hooking up sunken Car/Trucks at the Launch ramp (it happens more than you would think)and ...

First day back from vacay. Hit Murray as the gate opened. Caught perhaps a dozen but all were of the smaller dinks and clones variety. About half of them were topwater, and the rest all came courtesy of small crankbaits.

Like I said, nothing big, but it felt great to get back on San Diego water. It ...

6 am check in. Haven't been here in a while, water is down 3 to 4' from when I was there last. Changed everything. I went to my favorite first stop and had to figure it out. No topwater for me, no real busters. Fluke did okay, but I noticed this guy just going off on them. I couldn't stand it and ...

Fished Lower Otay last Wednesday and had a decent day as far as numbers go. Water temps pushing over 79 degrees and pretty stained down the Harvey Arm. Lots of blowups right at the bank and we had most of our success with finesse like weightless Senko and Neko rigs. Decided to throw a jackhammer w ...

Fishing today my new fishing pole bfs rig at lake Murray i can see this lake from my house

bay

I made a trip to Murray last week. No topwater. A couple on Texas rig. 14 on a 3" fluke style bait. A couple 4lbers and as it has been a bigger one that got away.

Got to Murray around 7:30 am, which is a pretty late start but still managed to have fun picking up some on top. Nothing real big but always fun to watch them hit your bait on top of the water. Bass are feeding on shad all over and it has been a challenge at times even throwing right onto boils and ...

I fished for a few hours early at Otay. Ended up with 11. A mix of small topwater walking baits, and this little bait that I shared in the BFS forum.
