During this season in San Diego, you can find big bass in various locations. One strategy is to target areas where the bass are setting up closer to the bottom and to cover. This behavior is often observed when the bass are recovering from the spawn. Look for pockets, coves, rock piles, and brush piles offshore. These areas provide the bass with shelter and a food source, such as Bluegill that are getting ready to spawn throughout the summer.

To locate these spots, you can use your fishfinder or sonar to graph secondary points and drains leading out of spawning pockets. Look for brush piles and rock piles that show up on your 2D sonar and down imaging. These structures can hold larger fish. Once you've identified a promising spot, make casts with baits like jigs or swimbaits to entice the bass.

It's important to note that the behavior of bass can vary depending on the specific location and conditions. While the videos mentioned fishing in Mexico, the general principles of targeting bass in pre-spawn and post-spawn patterns can still apply in San Diego. However, it's always a good idea to consult with local guides or anglers who are familiar with the specific bass fishing conditions in San Diego to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.
