As 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.

If you are looking for a bass fishing guide in Southern California, you may not need to look any further than our newest addition to the Guide Listings at SDFish.com; Pete Marino. Pete guides locally at three of the premier bass lakes within an hour's drive of San Diego (an hour that will be well worth it) at Diamond Valley, Perris, and Vail Lake among others. His tournament resume speaks toward his angling prowess with 18 team tournament wins and 17 "BIG BASS" awards on Southern California lakes.

prowess, Long is also one of the most dominant team tournament anglers
in the county, winning more frequently than any other angler in the last
few years.

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.

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.

It 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.

As 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.

It'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.
