San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Got 4 dinks on neko 4” lizard and 6th sense worm didn’t want dinks tearing up my good plastics lol bunch people all catching dinks fished from 630-930 no pics of dinks

One of Loveland’s rules is no fish reports

I’ve been going to Loveland for 40 yrs u don’t have to tell me anything it’s over run by kids I tell people on fish brain if they post at Loveland it will ruin the last free Jem of San Diego I’m an alpine local grew up there lived there since the 80s I posted on here because it’s now a younger lake to teach kids parents drop their kids off and u got bunch teenagers on the weekends there’s no secret about Loveland anymore im sorry to say

My dad is smitty if anyone has gone to Loveland here u prob have seen him there he was local everyday at Loveland we use to tell people on at the lake not to post Loveland cause we new any new faces here on sd fish it’s a new generation now and we can not travel to Bouy line anymore and risk snake bite or stroke lol I still do am one of only people caught 9 bass on 9 casts two weeks ago there

This generation is scared to hike that far thank god

I rarely guerrilla fish anymore (1. Trespass fish or 2. Fish in remote places where machetes are needed) but I am interested in reading about a Loveland comeback after the s*** the water authorities pulled by draining it. Thanks for the forbidden report!

Ditto. My uncle used to be the dam keeper there for many years. Family got to fish the lake in a boat when it was closed to the public. Loveland is near and dear to me and no matter what, word gets out of there’s a bite. Most have zero respect for that place and it gets trashed. Still, one of the rules is no fish report hahaha. 3 strike rule still applies at Loveland. I’m sure I’ve passed you many times down there.
Don’t get me started on Sloane. Another east county Jem.
