...meaning the Santee Walmart. The 4 inch Luck E Strike curltail worms that are usually $1.57 are now 75 cents a pack. Pink, purple, black, and tequila sunrise. There are a few 6 inch worms as well.

I grabbed a few packs for spotted bass in the bays.

And the Ozark trail version of a 5 inch fluke are $1.77 for a 9 pack. Limited colors.

Fish Mission Bay Father's Day caught two croaker and a bunch of bass nothing too big to brag about.

Awesome Rod! Love my NRX+ 894C JWR. Will have to try one of the MBRs one day. GLWTS!

That was my main curiosity, it’s a fast action rod but it’s an MBR so I wasn’t sure if it was more suited for bottom contact or for reaction bait stuff. Its good enough as a bottom contact rod for me. Better than the champ xp anyway. I can probably survive with this one rod for all my style of bass...

Been curious about megabass stuff, but I'm always on the hunt for versatility. Maybe now I can start testing out technique specific rods. I doubt I'll try another nrx. This is a good overview of some of Megabass’ most versatile models. Really the only one they left off this list is Tequila Baccarac...

Bonefish still in Mission Bay. Caught 2. A lot of hits but could not get the hook set. These are fun fighting fish. Pulling drag.

got this in an email from ca dfw today: "The NEW grunion season is upon us and anglers should familiarize themselves with season updates in the California Ocean Sport Fishing Regulations booklet. Due to recent population declines with the species, June was added to the no-take closure (now Apri...

There are very few options for using an SUP on lakes in San Diego. SUPs are allowed at Lake Hodges and San Vicente. San V has haul-ass SKI BOATS everywhere, wake-boat big wakes, not to mention the bass boaters on our lakes that like to drive 70 mph everywhere. It can be very scary even in a kayak o...

Hey just in case any new guys are looking for tips and how to get started, Check out this video and there are some other videos from them for spring and winter surf fishing, but they are all kinda the same. Some good info in there though.

I fished the low tide. 6:00am to 9:00am. Caught 13 fish. Biggest was 14 inches.

I’m interested in the rod only, willing to just do the rod?

I'll take it. 619-616-6689

I decided I wanted to get into fishing to have something to do with my kids. Went out alone for the first time just to test the waters. Thanks to the tips on the site, I got 3 spotties in 3 hours and quit when something strong snapped my leader.

I never but wouldn’t be hesitating to use one if I have a chance too as long as proper care given after each time (rinse, air dry and oil where needed) Nowadays, in my humble opinion, MGL spool is just thin wall aluminum with special design holes to save some weight. Even Shimano now advertises Meta...

Paradise Point resort on Mission Bay has violated the state Coastal Act for years. That’s about to change That's the title of the U-T story...you can google it for details. THE GIST: There's gonna be more unimpeded shore access all the way around Vacation Isle. And maybe more paths through the resor...

Took a little trip down to my favorite body of water this morning, 9/10. The conditions were kind of uncanny when I arrived at first light. Dead calm, overcast. Seems like an invitation to throw topwater, right? Wrong! Threw a variety of topwater baits and a few subsurface options with nary a bite f...

Got on it from the Natty City ramp around 7. It was calm, smooth, with a hint of tropical rain here and there. Steady spotty bite on plastics/underspins at Square Mile. Figured there might also be a channel bite and slid out to the main just south of the bridge. Instantly rewarded with a better grad...
