San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Another day of avoiding Murray, I found myself down at the SD river this morning. The weather was cold, then got unusually warm,which I thought was not a good sign but at least I am out fishing.
I threw all types of reaction baits in all shapes and colors that I thought would attract a bite and nothing. Then started flippin' worms,craw baits and of course June bug colored BrushHogs. I hit so many nooks and crannies and still not a bite. I started to think that all the bass had died and thought geez.. I wish I had some corn and at least I could try to catch a carp...ha ha Then out of the blue I tied
on a 7" MM Roboworm and after what seemed like another 100 casts, my line twitched. Did I actually get a bite? I waited for a second and reeled in all the slack and set the hook hard... to pull in a tiny bass that sure must of been hungry to take on a worm almost as big as he was. Anyway, that was on my only bite and I just laughed at the size of him. I can't wait till spring is here and the bass bite will
improve for all of us.

Haha you and me both brotha!

The dinky dinks are the only thing I’ve been catching so far this year too. I feel your pain. Bring on spring!

Not my style….. because that bass weighed 5 pounds already. KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If our river had a faster flow, let's say "whitewater speed", that fish may have fought light a 5 pounder?
Keep up the good life!
