San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I've been off the water prior to today for for a couple of weeks. Amid some other challenges I've also been shopping for a new economical vehicle. The near daily drives from Jamul or Descanso in a heavy duty diesel pickup truck(which I need to pull my travel trailer) were killing me. I settled on a small Ford Maverick hybrid mini-truck. 40 MPG is a lot better.

To make sure my rig was going to ride securely I opted for a trip to Otay today as I am camped only a few miles away. I spent about 4 hours on the water and landed 5 clones and one solid 3.1 pounder. Unfortunately, no pic of the bigger fish. Evidently I got so excited catching a fish big enough to actually weigh that I threw her back without remembering to snap a picture lol.

Anyway the truck worked out well and it was sure nice to get back on the water again.

Tight lines all.

awesome.
how bad was the algae?

The water was pretty green, but I have certainly seen it a lot worse.

Welcome back @Dannicus ! Glad to see you
got some of your stuff straightened out and a new vehicle to get you back and forth places...especially to the city lakes! Excited to see your post, I glanced over it quickly at first and looked at both pics to see which bass was over 3 pounds and then read it slowly and realized there was no pic as you accidentally tossed it over before taking a pic. Dang! Anyway....it is great to see a post from you and hope to see you soon over at Murray.
Tight lines always buddy

Thanks man! It's small but very fuel efficient. I can fit both high school twin boys in it for their trips to school plus all my fishing gear. I fish, they learn stuff, and the fuel bill is way smaller....

I think it's a win all around.

Nice Truck, congrats...

I remember when a Ford Maverick was WAAAAY different!
