San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Had a couple nice days lately at El Cap. Air in the early morning is cool/cold, but the water temp is still upper 60s F. Poked around along the shore and picked up a few nice fish with the usual suspects for me, a popper, a floating Rapala and a little swim jig I have been playing with. Wind hasn't been too bad. This past Tuesday there was a bit of wind around 0930-1000 and then it went away. The weekend had a stretch of miserable wind early that also gave way to a clear smooth day with minimal wind. Saturday was not a productive day for me though. Going to Otay this weekend to see what we can find there. Tight lines.

That's exactly the wind forecast windy.com gave for the area on Tuesday. Picking up for a bit mid morning and then back to 3 kt or less. I know because I was planning on going and this crazy little thing called work got in the way=( No one will ever lay on their death bed and say I wish I would have worked more! Need to practice what I preach. Glad someone got out there.

Nice job out there and thanks for the report! Good luck at Otay and looking forward to that report=D

Nice. Great report brother. I think I'll head to Otay Sunday.

Change in plans Dan, we are going to El Cap tomorrow.

Ok, see you there.

Remember time change tomm c u guys at ramp

Good to see you out whacking some Public Bass. They are the same fish, just hit harder from above. A little refined technique and you are Yaking Bass with the best of them. See you on the water…

I’ve been avoiding posts about el cap because I miss it so much, pretty much the only lake I have fished for the past 4 years. I can’t wait for the day that launch ramp is accessible again. I’ll never take a day of catching 3-4 lbrs for granted ever again. The other lakes don’t even come close to el cap.
