The water is starting to warm up

Nicely done; thanks for the report.

Nice fishing, pics and report

The water is starting to warm up ;)


@vdisney would be nice to see some of your famous surf fishing shark reports


This was last Sunday, first time in three years I chased the 'toothy critters'

Hello everyone, my name is Verne and I typically fish from N. OC to N. LA counties. I'm 100% catch and release, and unless shark fishing I usually fish solo. Hope reports from this area are okay on this site, if not please let me know.

Seem to recall jerk & swim baits were your forte, no baits ? Does your dad still get out with you occasionally?


The only time I use bait is when I shark fish, which is very seldom these days. My father will be 98 in Sept, his sand days are over do to balance problems. But I take him to the pier ...

Walked down to a favorite beach spot to fish a weighted weedless swimbait (shown) along the sand/rock shoreline here, with much smaller surf today.

The recent south swells have migrated tons of sand north on my beach, and have unburied the local acres of eel grass - which is all dead and ...

For surf fishing, this is probably as deep as it gets. This guy was crazy, chest-deep water and often submerged by swells, when I could only see half of the rod above water... Did not see him catching much but the spirit was surely admirable.

Hali has been biting indeed. I was fishing LJ the other day and saw a guy landing 4 halis using swimbait. I was using shrimps so no hali for me. Caught 2 calicos though.

I'd say you had a great June. Nicely done for sure & congrats.

That’s a great month of fishing. Do you fish there daily?

Nice Corvina there! Too bad they could not get it recorded.

Well, I'm at fault for not getting the fish officially weighed. But made really good ceviche ;) . There are lots of big ones around right now - note that article was regarding July 4th, 2022 . Snorkeling the other day I saw a giant ...

Thanks that was my saltwater surf fishing report.

To add to the fun, I actually landed at least twice that many fish in freshwater from my kayak, mostly crappie. Three trips for crappie with limits (25) each day and plenty of ...

Yes. I've been fishing for a couple of months. In the last few days (im on staycation) I've caught 4 hali, all small. Cant ...

blackcloud9 Not really into the perch thing, just got that handle from 2 buds since I would somehow always get a perch during those skunk sessions. Crappie looks fun, a cousin gets bunches at Naciemento from his boat. I'm too old to get into the kayak thing or I would. Same for rock hopping jettys ...
