been trying to stay away from the lakes where i have to deal with people and rangers and buying permits and yada yada to fish what i like to call "freedom fishing" around here in the San Diego County. So i been hitting the San Diego river. lake hodges overflow river and a secret little pond in Poway all looking for largemouth bass.
Del Dios Highway produced this little 2 and half pounder. i had to chop tule weeds to get to the water but on first cast i hit it.
this one i got from a pond in Poway. took me a couple hours of fishing here before she hit. she hit a mini jig on 4lb test and ran me into the weeds right away. i got it out but then it got stuck when she got to me. i was standing on a pallet on top of the tule weeds just to get close enough to the water. so it was a but tricky but i got her. 3lb... pic does not show it well but she had a nice fat belly on her for the size she was.
