Rain is not pleasant to fish in. It’s even more unpleasant when you’re trying to sight fish, and the ripples on the water prevent you from seeing the fish.

Sunday was my very first non-club fishing tournament. The AIM Sunday Series is a small local event that is fished by some of the top anglers in the county. And seeing how it was my first non-club event, I wasn’t too concerned with how I did, just that I was able to have fun fishing with the lady. (more…)

Saturday I headed out to Lower Otay to pre-fish for the AIM Sunday Series, which was the next day. We got to the lake a little later then I had wanted, but it turned out ok, as there was a pretty good sized line to wait in. While there in line I noticed a few guys from the San Diego Bassmasters club I’m in, so we did some chatting on ideas for the day. It’s great to be in a club that is full of members so willing to share information. I’ve heard of clubs that are very tight with the information that they have, to me this kind of defeats the purpose of being in the club.

So launch and head straight to my planned first spot. (more…)

I hit up San Vicente on Saturday February 2^nd to pre fish a little club tournament. I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to, as I was having some motor problems on my boat, but luckily a buddy that is also in the club mentioned he had an open seat.

So we set out in cold water (for San Diego, 53 degrees is cold) and went to find out what we could. We pretty much fished points the few hours we were there. It was a tough bite, but my buddy managed 3 in the boat, and broke off one. He caught his on Carolina rigs, Jigs, and Drop shot trick worms, with all of them being deep. (more…)
