San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

It was a slow start but ended up with 5 fish...not bad for my 1st outing of the year at Hodges...I threw a bunch of stuff early, first trip...lots of off season tackle purchases. But the first fish was on a texas rigged baby brush hog.
Then I tried more of that and got snagged a few times so I switched to the ol` whacky rig...and it worked ok!
first this guy...cool coloring.

and then dinksville!

and then... and
pretty good day for me...and got broke off between the dink and the last two...the big one that got away, I guess I will need to go back.

Nice work. Hodges seems pretty good this year, last year I felt like it was a little off. I like that spot where you are also.

I used to throw at those boulders from the shoreline many many moons ago with the higher lake level. Keep an eye out for about a half dozen rapala shad and fat raps

Those last 2 look real healthy. Way to go!
