Went to Dixon in Escondido on Friday after the opener on Thursday. I guess Thursday was wide open fishing early. So I arrived early, but still maybe 40 cars in front of me. No chance to rent a boat, and all good shore spots taken. Went to the North Dock where know one fishes because it's not a good spot.
First cast son catches a 1 lb on a mini jig. That was it for any bites for us the rest of the day. No more bites on mini jigs,, spoons, power bait, mice tails, or the bobber fly method. In fact most people struggled even people in boats. Did not see anyone around me catch. However there was a little cove with trout in it with 30 people fishing it, not my cup of tea to fish like that. Also it got hot at like 7 am!!
