John Kerr: Confessions of a former champion
Newsflashes - Quick Bites
Written by George Kramer   
Thursday, July 29, 2010

johnkerr.jpgAs the 2003 U.S. Open champion, Ramona’s John Kerr has been to the top of the mountain in the West. Maybe that’s why he appreciates the desert venue as well as the effort it takes to compete during the brutal summers at Lake Mead.

Though he missed the money in this year’s Open, his 30th place finish was not a total bust. Indeed, there may have been more learned this year than when he finished on top.

Forget that reservoir thinking...at this lake

Thursday, June 17, 2010

Judging by the discussion and especially the frustration surrounding prefishing ahead of the California Bass Championship regional final next week, it’s pretty obvious Southern California’s largest natural lake is a big departure from the reservoirs most contenders are used to fishing. You toss in the reality that the bass population, by all projections, is barely 10 percent of the total adult fish population and add the unpleasant specter of what appears to be a herpesvirus killing carp all over the lake in water clarity of 5 to 8-inch visibility and the lads are having a tough go at Lake Elsinore.

 

 
Notice to anglers fishing night tournament at El Capitan this weekend
Freshwater Bass Tournaments - San Diego Team Night Series 2010
Written by Jim Sleight   
Wednesday, June 23, 2010
Due to the high water levels at Lake El Capitan, the main parking lot is under water which has left the lake with limited parking. Therefore, the City Lakes Department has asked us to stage all boats and participants at this upcoming tournament below the dam. In order to get to this area you will need to make a left after entering the main gate. There will be signs posted for you to follow. Please do not park on the road, keeping going to the end of the road where we will check-in all fisherman. After you check-in and your boat is inspected you will need to wait at the bottom.

darrencalicopreview.jpgIt never ceases to amaze me just how small this world can be. There are many people we will never meet, and yet we all have only a slight degree of separation from them and the folks we see everyday. So you can only imagine how stupefied I was when I took out Darren, only to find out that he had been on my boat once before... before it was mine... that is.

Such a great bay to grow up with

cindyspottypreview.jpgAs a fishing guide in San Diego, it is quite often assumed that I am just a bay guide. True, I did grow up on San Diego Bay, and actually watched the making of Seaport Village. At that time, my brother and I often rode our bikes from our North Park home to Ferrer's Surplus, across from the old police station. We would buy a one pound bag of frozen anchovies for about a buck, and off we went to G Street Pier.

V for bass

jason_el_cap_bass.jpgIt's amazing what thoughts pop through a person's head while fishing. I was recently watching a T.V. show with Scottish comedian/actor/musician Billy Connolly. He was fly-fishing in Canada. He mentioned how people ask him if he comes up with his material while fishing - if that is where he thinks stuff up. He stated that the joy he finds in fishing is that it allows him not to think of anything else. He only thinks of fishing when he is fishing, and that is what he likes about it. I have to say, I feel that way some of the time - mostly during tournaments, and on guide trips. Any other time however, I can easily let my mind wonder. Depending on how you feel about my round about ways of getting to the fish report part of these blog thingies, maybe it's a good thing I let my mind wonder. After all, I am no Billy Connolly.
