Two lakes with very good fishing are Lake Skinner and Lake Perris. They are both south/east of LA

If you decide to leave LA and get down to San Diego, give me a yell at jimeisaac@yahoo.com

Hey Ike:
Saw your post here. I am going to be in San Diego on the 12th of Aug.
Will park the Motorhome @ Admiral Baker RV park there.
Plan on being in SD until sometime around the first of Sept.(3 weeks)
Then I am off to Vandenburg AFB (Lompoc) to hunt pig/deer until Oct.
Plan to be back in SD for 2 more weeks after that, before heading back to FL.

I use to live in Imperial beach many years ago,(mid-60s). I fished some of the lake around there. (Otay,Barret, El Cap.). Lake Barret was one of the best for crappie at that time.

My phone # is (407) 222-8732, if you need someone to fill a seat, on one of the lake during my stay there. Give me a call

Chucker: PM sent
