San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Well, you probably already guessed.... as it is no surprise that I fished Lake Murray this morning. It is just so close to my house and
heck...why not! Started pretty slow as I searched all over for balls of shad in deeper water in between tossing topwater baits towards
some breakers but no hook sets. Pretty sure you heard this story before as I stuck to my guns and threw all reaction baits this morning
and did not toss any worms etc. Maybe I am stubborn as I just like the challenge of trying to get bass out away from the shore, even
though I know there are bass in closer that could gobble up a nice roboworm or senko if I tossed them one.
Anyway...to keep it short, I had 3 bass shake loose but ended up landing 9 bass and a bluegill this morning.
Most of the bass were small, but still had fun especially since I landed them on a variety of baits.
Just a few pics....

Blade Bait Heavier Blade Bait Just had to laugh- A "McFish Special"
Tiny bass on a Spybait Jerkbait Spoon

I’ll take 9 bass on a San Diego lake any day. Nice angling.

A "McFish special" is smaller than that...proved it at D.K. last week...

That’s because of the “special saliva coating” you put on those roboworms when you bite the heads off. It sure seems to be a great fish attractant for catching small fish and the big fish that you catch.

Garlic, specifically the chemical compound allicin inside garlic, is a powerful antibiotic. Some European beliefs around vampires stated
they were created by a disease of the blood, so a powerful antibiotic would “kill” a vampire. So glad it helps you catch fish, but keep
it away from me.

Yes, the ramp was good on Wednesday and I actually fished out of my boat on my last two trips there and it was fine.
