San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Every year thousands of these would come out and be all over the garage door and driveway while trying to play basketball under the floodlight. Year in year out. They’re maybe 1/2” at most

OK, now that the Junebug thing has been discussed I have some other colors in the pumpkin variety of colors that I should test out. I remember the root beer color was really good years ago.

So anyway, great job on the fish! Sorry to highjack your thread. Maybe it's time to bring back the Otay Special worm next!

Do you remember Champagne Whiskey worms?

I have some original Delong Otay specials. Not many, but I remembered decades ago, boiling water, dropping them in there, pulling them out with a pair of pliers, stretching them, and putting them under cold water in the garage sink so they would be long and slinky. Always a great worm at any lake!
My father and I would take a split shot and put it up the line and toss them at Miramar So they would sink slowly and land on top of all the grass on the bottom. Great memories

It’s funny I heard of them, but I don’t remember ever having any, but that sounds familiar.

It was my favorite at Lake Poway for many years. A light pink/light pumpkin 2 color worm. Ah, the good ol' days.

Nice

Anyone know where to get soft plastics in a Satan's fetus pattern? I am going on the theory that the uglier the bug, the more attractive to the fish. Also known as devil's baby, Jerusalem cricket and a host of other monikers.

I have seen them around and even in our pool where they go to drown themselves to release a parasite worm that feeds on them (see link above). Fortunately, we keep the pool well chlorinated so the worm doesn't survive.

Hey maybe one of you can start another thread about colors because my post was about fishing there SD River and colors seem to
be the talk of the site suddenly. Maybe in general fishing......?

Sorry but it's Pourboy's fault, he started it by changing the subject to June bugs, then Japanese beetles got in there, alcoholic drinks and now Satan's fetus.

No worries.......
