El cap 3-15
Been since the fall since I’ve fished freshwater the launch ramp is Mudd but a guy launched a boat by himself left of the docks seems like hard ground was a good size aluminum I fished 3” craw osp on rockpile I had always done well in past got bit after 10 mins knew they were there so I spent couple hours there landed 2 missed 3 my second fish was a nicer one so after that I went to back was a lot of bait wasn’t feeling it so headed back to a rockpile there and saw Dave beef shamen and Jeremy were catching on tiny 3” minnow neko better then I was I met w friend after I got back middle lake fished from shore as it got windy he got 4 on green pumpkin ika while I got nothing more not a bite water down 10ft since I was there last

Re: El cap 3-15
Good to see you out there. It was a nice day on the water. I saw a lot of fish making beds, I hope they don't lower the water too much more,it might affect this years spawn, maybe. I'm hoping this year is a good one. Seems like it's starting ok.

Thanks for the report! They said 1 more week of water draw then they are going to take from San V. Then back to Cap.

Nice to see you out there Robert!
Sundays was fun for me, I had a banner morning on the jig. I didn’t pick up the neko all day Sunday believe it or not.
This is from the day before, Saturday morning:

Re: El cap 3-15
I’ve been seeing lots of fry. Caught several fish over 18”and a 211/2 that should have gone over 7lbs but looked spawned out. Not much on top but plenty on the bottom.
Don’t let the cat out of the bag about launching a boat.

Re: El cap 3-15
It can’t. DFW and PUD confirmed that at the recent Friends of the San Diego Lakes seminar with Matt Lucero and San Diego Bass Fishing Podcasts interview with Niki from the PUD (can add link if interested).
I’m guessing they meant they will stop draw down from Cap and draw from San V, then draw from Cap again once they’re finished with San V. Hoping I’m wrong about that.

Re: El cap 3-15
I meant draw water from San V, not to El Cap. Then start taking water from Cap again.

This is @Early release ’s old boat, I got it from him with the FFS already installed. Truthfully I haven’t used it much.KillinTime wrote: Wed Mar 18, 2026 8:55 pmLooks like a lot of fun!

That little boat has been a game changer for me. She’s getting a trolling motor installed on her as we speak.JWall wrote: Thu Mar 19, 2026 9:48 amSurely Dave enjoys his old craft doing so well?CorsoEnthusiast wrote: Thu Mar 19, 2026 6:20 amThis is @Early release ’s old boat, I got it from him with the FFS already installed.
