Thank you for making this section! I've been fishing in So. Cal for a long time and would love to find other women who fish and to get more info. on tournament fishing!

Has anyone used one of these before? I am considering getting one.

So i got a great new job and it will require me to go to scottsdale quite often. Can anyone recommend any good lakes/streams for fishing near there?

Thanks for all the advice, and the research islandbass! I really like the color of the core and it's spool.... that is the only thing holding me back from getting the chronarch at this point. I really need to stop picking things b/c of prettiness. It is going on a mbr843c glx! I will probably go with the chronarch after all that I have read here though.

Ok so I am ready to buy a new reel. I am having a hard time deciding between the shimano core and the chronarch 50mg. Of those who have used both, which do you prefer and why? Thanks!

Thanks everyone!!

I finally caught some fish again too!!! Yesterday and Sunday! Going again today after work! Thank you guys for all the great advice !

You are not alone..... I ordered a SWBR955C from them last friday, got it on Monday and the bottom guide was cracked not bent, I am sending it back as soon as I receive the return label they promised me...

They a few weeks past the spawn I think, I can see bass just suspending underneath huge balls of fry. As far as surface temps go, i have no idea. Wind has picked up dramatically in the past few weeks and the sky has been spotless. As far as depth goes, I don't know. I can only fish from shore (haven't taken the rowboat out yet). This place is a community lake in a very upscale neighborhood in San Diego. I know there are huge bass in there b/c a guy I talked to the other day said he pulled out a 271/2 " long and 20" inch around bass from there last year.... don't know what that would be in weight, but I wanna catch one that big!! Thank you for all your help guys

Thank you for making me feel better Popeye! I was beginning to wonder what was going on, I had no idea that barometric pressure played such a significant role in fishes appetites. I have been fishing every afternoon after work with girlfriend and only 1 fish has been caught between the 2 of us, trying everything imaginable. It's nice to know there is a likely reason behind it beside user error.

This may sound like a stupid question, but has anyone else in San Diego county been experiencing bass not biting since the weather got SUPER hot? I've been fishing this 7 acre lake for the past few months catching tons of fish, but about 1.5 weeks ago when the weather got warm, they stopped biting. I have caught 1 fish in almost 2 weeks.

For my smaller swimbaits I have a Curado 300 on the G-Loomis SBR955. I would definately recommend it!

I used to float tube in Hodges with my dad. We would get in at Hernandez Hideaway. Caught quite a few there with rattle traps. Without a boat though, I hate going to lakes that huge.

Im new to the boards, been lurking a while. I live in San Diego and love bass fishing. I started fishing at 5 with my dad and have been hooked ever since. I've learned so much from these boards already and can't seem to peel myself away from them. Recently I have been fishing a lake close to my home, but would like to venture out to some of the city lakes this summer and maybe get the chance to fish some of you guys!

I am new to these forums, but have been fishing since I was 5 with my dad. I would like to join a bass fishing club or two in San Diego (preferably one with other female anglers).

Thank you!! I pulled out a 9-2 from that same lake 2 days before too!
