San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Glad SDFish is back! I sorta lurked a lot but didn’t post often since I’m busy with school.

anyways, the beach I went to was still missing a lot of its sand from that one storm last winter (15 foot storm surge), and along with it a lot of the surf grass. didn’t seem to bother the leopards though ...

Took a break from studying for finals and went out on the beach for 2 hours this afternoon, fishing the incoming tide. There were a ton of man-o-wars. It was very slow until ~6 pm, then the bass hit less than 30 seconds after a cast. Got the spotfin shortly after, then it was dead again until i ...

Nice! Were they right up against the rocks like the perch are?

Went back out to the beach after getting a larger setup and boy am I glad I upgraded. Fished the incoming tide, about an hour after peak low. It was slow for a bit, only got that short 12" bass for the first hour. After moving down the beach a little, as the tide was coming up, I hooked onto ...

if we could get the bait through the seaweed, the fish bit very quickly. every time we hit a section that ...

Salad was ungodly, yet again. Went around low tide 7-8
pm. Water temp is still wonderful, but with that comes a bunch of swimmers/surfers and, recently at least, snorkelers.

Anyway, fishing was pretty good. In those about 1.5 hours each day for those 2 days, we got 3 croaker, 1 sargo, a couple ...

April is always nice as the water warms up enough to go barefoot in the wash. This month saw mostly small perch and some good sized croaker biting, although some baby leopard sharks came out to play in north county.

Do you guys have any suggestions as to how i can maximize the chance of catching ...
