San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I agree, Carpkiller. Not really worried about fish, but that comes up all the time. I want a good forage base....shad was working well but it will work out. I hate to say it, but what made Loveland thrive is the fact that about 80% of it was fished very little, and the rest only from shore. Even in ...

Home pond picture.png So long San Diego bass fishing......sort of Greetings all, Having been a dedicated San Diego bass fisherman since the late '70s, I have finally escaped the beautiful Southern California weather for country life in Western Kentucky. We were able to close on a 25-acre, 4 bedroom...

It means weather is like a box of chocolates, never know what you're going to get.
Tom Hanks , said it best.
A 50yr weather prediction seems silly..

Every time I get sad about this weather I look at my last summer's electric bills and I start feeling much better all of a sudden

A lot of people are counting on the El Nino again to bring all those fish up deep south in Mexican waters but to me it sure seemed like last year was an El Nino instead seeing how close and in large numbers those Dorado were. BUT for anybody that works outside for their occupation must be pretty dam...

Not San Diego…but taking care of my 93 year old mom for 11 days so my sister gets a break. Mom’s Del Webb community outside Houston has small lakes that were stocked in the early days and I can usually sneak down to wet a line at sunset. Fishing in suburbia ain’t all bad!!

Not this again

Nice..5.35 on a frog! Rods, don't make them like they use to...some of my favorites are 30-40 years old and still ticking! I remember you telling me you got your rods shortly after the Korean War. They sure have held up well. :-) Funny! I actually do have a couple bamboo fly rods that my Dad brough...

70 degrees still, and stinks bad. Went from green to brown.
A crowd of 6 boats.
Boated 3 dinks, 1lb or less. dock worker said that was the high for the day!!!!

I think all the flooded brush and tulles is the problem. They are all way back in untouchable water.

Well something went wrong with my saltyfreshsd account, got logged out and no password reset emails so back to my old forum name. Went up to Hodges yesterday morning. This time brought some bait so I could toss out a catfish rod while I bass fished. Ended up with 10 cats, 2 bass and a carp. Here is ...

Last week after a year of forced hiatus, I finally got out fishing and had a good day. But it only gets better, because this week I got to share it with and old friend. Like last week, it was a short day of about 3 1/2 hours. I always feel pressure to catch some fish when someone goes with me, but t...

Small hook like size 4. Chunk of shrimp, no weight. Cast it out and leave the bail open, watch the line. Simple enough. The stocked cats just make laps in the local lakes.... Use two rods if you can... 8-12# gear

Isn’t the toilet to tap supposed to sterilize the water hence no fish will live? Bummer Not sure where youre getting your info inregards to no fish due to implementing the recycled water into the lakes.... Its not like it's 100% recycled waste water entering the lake... Santee lakes has already imp...

Thanks for all your efforts. You went above and beyond

One of my favorite shows as a kid

I was up in La Jolla around Bird Rock, when a scuba guy came walking out of the water with an orange fish on the end of his spear..I asked him if he knew what it was and he said "yep, a red snapper! I said "nope, a garibaldi, the state fish and it's protected..might cost you $500." H...
