San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Today was a totally different day from Monday. Not nearly the amount of fish busting shad in the bushes but there were still some sporadic boils. Fished from 6:30- 3pm. Not a lot of bites but the quality was good. Ended up with 9 in the boat. Best 5 went 14 1/2 lbs. Things were totally backwards today. The four pictured went between 2lbs 15oz and 3lbs 6oz and all were caught less than 2 ft deep. The deeper I went the smaller the fish got. I caught a 6” fish in 45’. Poor guy looked like a rockcod when he came up. Thankfully he went right back down.

I was swimming a jig in the shallow bushes for the 4 pictured. Manages the other 5 on a drop shot between 25-45’.

Good job! The lakes are crazy this year! The patterns change so fast...can't wait to see what next week brings! Don't those fish know that they're not suppose to be shallow now??

I guess they haven’t read the book!

Nice! thanks for giving us something to look at!
