El Cap, Hodges, and Fish Tacos

[ilovesprig]

Fished El Cap on Friday with my buddy Cal.....Really good bass bite with Cal topping it with a 5 lber….Split shotting and drop shotting Robo Morning Dawn worms were the ticket.

Today I hit Lake Hodges at around 3:30 pm with fishing bud Jim.....Way slower bass bite, but the 1st fish of the day was an almost 2 lb crappie (we release all bass).

Got it home, fileted, fried, and fish tacos were made....If I say so myself, they were damn good.....lol

You know they’re big when you get three tacos out of em. Nice job!

Is Ballast Point the official beer maker of SCH? Fine by me.

The cap is still on that beer right? You didn't drink an IPA did you?

It should be... San Diego has many fine breweries but Ballast Point's Sculpin is definitely my fave. Love their tasting place in Miramar and also the restaurant/brewery in Little Italy.

Nice job Steve

When I was younger in GA we would fish most of the night off our boat dock with a huge light 3' off the water using minnows for crappy. Great fight on light tackle. The next morning we would wake up clean 70 some odd fish and have a great old fish fry for lunch.....deep fried tails.....fish chips we called them!

Yum!

Actually John, no....Worst recruitment year, I can recall.....Again, just hoping they're somewhere where I can't see them.
