We used to fish the lagoons down in the Carlsbad/Oceanside areas and by walking the shorelines using white spinnerbaits, Mepps and Rattletraps in the murky sometimes muddy water, we did very good on the Largemouths up to 3 to 4 pounds. I saw one that went about 10 pounds caught there too. This place is loaded with tules but is very shallow and I believe it is a bird santuary. Anybody know anything about fishing here? I wonder if you can float tube here without getting hassled by the police....?
