Took the whaler out for a spin around the lake and found a very steady bite Stopped counting around 15 fished for 2 1/2 -3 hours. Nothing special just old school worming

If you around point loma hit dicks sporting good . Point loma and oceanside are the only locations that carry tackle also you can download a coupon if you spend over 100$ you get 20$ off and they price match tackle warehouse prices and other websites as long as its not on sale and in stock

You can cut 1/4” surgical tubing to slide over your weight , it will pull off and you’ll get your weight back.
Good luck

I learned that surgical tubing trick fishing steelhead on the Klamath River!

It took San V an extra month to get going, but it's on now! What a difference 2 weeks makes...got there at sunrise 2 weeks ago, 6 boats..today at sunrise, more like 30! First cast, lost a 6lber in a bush..bad omen, nope! I got into a solid pattern and didn't move more than 100' for the next 5 hours....

Not moving more than a 100' in 5 hours, impressive! That's spot fishing for sure. Nice work!

I wondered when "Monday Fun Days" was going to return and looks like it did so in great form. Great job out there @McFish and some nice fish. So more boats were on the water today and probably more next week, but doubt more boats will distract you from catching bass. Heck, I tried to distr...

Hell yeah! Nice work buddy! I gotta get back to the V soon

nice

Knowing that 15 north morning traffic on a weekday gets crazy and going south in the late afternoon a lot worse, I decided to head up to Lake Miramar and put in a little fishing time in my kayak. Knowing that I need to make the most of my time on the water I quickly headed across the lake. I was tos...

Congrats on becoming a pro angler!

I’ve been skunked at skinner 4 times now. Today was my fifth trip and the maiden voyage for my new scanoe. Only fished for a couple hours, but was able to get in some spots the bass boats couldn’t. The one day I don’t bring my scale or net…. I caught 2 tanks of bass. Being humble, the first one was ...

Made a quick trip down to El Cap yesterday after work - arrived about 3:30pm to howling wind and whitecaps that made casting a challenge. Water level is down several feet from my last visit and the dried out slime from all the moss is covering the first few feet of bank. I went the whole session wit...

Bring some pickle juice. The calf and hammy cramps can be epic and hit with zero warning. It’s pretty hilarious when you’re in a group of buddies.

Sometimes it’s fun just to hit a lake like that for a few hours. I used to do that years ago. I’ll drive out to El Cap after work and just fish from the shore to the right of the boat dock. Catch a few bass, then afterwards stop by the Taco shop to grab a bite to eat, and head home. It was a long ti...

Rented a boat at San V today and a fellow SDFisher joined me for the morning. Some froggy looking water but no bites on either the frog or the buzzbait. Water is pea green soup from the grass scum - not just the surface, it’s throughout the water column in places. Plastics were the goods again. Noth...

I Resized_20230514_064202.jpg t's been tough trying to catch those elusive Crappie this Spring. With the inconsistent weather and all of the lakes filling up its been a battle. Plus Mother Nature has been know to put the best laid plans of a fisherman to sleep. So I made the 9 hr trek up North to Cl...

I got super lucky this afternoon at San V. After catching a bunch of bass on dropshots, I decided to target a few panfish laate in the day based on my meter readings and WHAMO, blessed with a tanker panfish, a 4.2 lb. redear. She was caught on 2 lb line and a piece of nightcrawler, 18 feet deep on a...

Nice going on the slabs, always wanted to give Clear lake a try

That’s awesome! I can’t believe it took 21 years for someone to break the record. Look at that belly full of eggs. I’m sure the quaggas play a key roll for these fish to grow as big as they do.
