Bob, for the most part, I stayed in San Diego during December, January,
and Februrary...the river was just not "kind" enough for me then g.
But one time I camped out at Lake Martinez in January, and caught some
really nice bass under the wooden boat docks at the marine camp end. I
used mostly soft plastics, but my son got a few on top water early in
the morning there. Later in the afternoon we hit the Arizona Channel,
and Hidden Lake, got a few there too. I have no doubt you know those
waters way better than I ever will, but you brought back memories of the
"River" with all the places you described...so I thought I'd say hi
grin.
