San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Got out on El Cap nice and early with Chris, Jeremy and Dan. Also saw Robert and his Father. Early morning wind was very light and variable. Water temp was still pleasant at 65-66. That always says top of the water column to me, since that's what I want to hear. Worked along the west side heading north and picked up a nice 3.5 on a little swim jig. Got a couple other fun size bass and then a 2.75 pounder on the popper. Fish of the day also came on the popper, at 3 pounds 10 ounces, which was a fun little battle on the BFS baitcaster. There were busters all morning long, but they just weren't cooperative at all. I hooked one and lost it as fast as I hooked it. Not as many as last week, but a great time out there with friends.

Was great to see you guys out there great job I was thinking about throwing topwater but was so confident in magic swimmer

Always such a pleasure to be out there fishing with you fine gents. My final count was 5 on a combination of topwater and jigs. It certainly was a beautiful day.

Awesome! I’m at the gas pump right now and heading down.

I'm guessing you mean the 7/11, just a quick recommendation, after our fishing day we ate at the Mexican Restaurant in that complex, it's excellent and really well priced.

Always a pleasure fishing with you guys! It’s slowed down the last couple trips out for me, but getting out with friends is always a good time.

This too! Los Rancheritos is excellent and their portions are massive.
