San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

To wrap it up, I will echo the Halloween theme with a spooky-looking HM. I think it was due to a shark bite, rather than some nuclear mutation...

October is behind us. Let's see what November brings.

Tight lines!

I was up early because of the time change. I checked the cams on Surfline and Torrey Pines looked very inviting. I fished the south of the side lagoon entrance around Tower 4. I read the beach and found a channel that was leading out from the shore. Around the channel there was a nice drop off and ...

I’ll probably never have a day like this again…

You are not alone. The last time I hooked into a halibut was March or April right after the first grunion run.

...and I certainly am. Seaweed was heavy but I was able to find a spot that is more or less clean, at least for a while, long enough to land this beauty.
Also got decent sized (> 12 in) cabezon and kelpfish.

Grandson called me Friday night and asked If I'd like to do a little surf fishing with him and his buddy... His buddy is a fisherman but hadn't surf fished since he was younger... My Grandson supplied all of the gear for him to use... We decided on fishing the inside and outside of Alamitos ...

I tossed a soft shell at low tide into the 1st trough. It sat a while before this 20" corbina found it.

1st day out in awhile.. Beautiful day at Bolsa Chica .. Scrounged 3 sand crabs :roll: and figured I would use freeze/dried bloodworms, Since my local bait shop had no fresh bait… I got one dink perch on one of the sand crabs, and nothing else for awhile… Then the switch turned on about an hour ...

Nice fishies... Hope you didn't get wet... Thanks for posting...

Nice!

I rarely catch these two species from the same beach. Very interesting.

...and I gave it shot. Water was murky, especially close to city water runoffs. I walked about half a mile away. The water still had a brown-ish hue but at least no weird smells. Still not great condition but it could start raining any minute so what's the heck, just cast.

Got some bites. Some ...

I helped a sand crab out of his shell today and got this corbina to bite in close.

Nothing wrong with that, plus it beat watching the boob tube

Nice!...

Thank God for Suicide Fish

Sunday was slow. Not sure why. Friday and Saturday were hot bites. My buddy limited out in basses with 1.5 hours.

Same here. I had a minor surgery on thumb last week and had to take a few days off the water. A few buddies of mine went on Friday and Saturday. They sent me pictures to make me feel better... Not!

Started the day by finding only 2 sand crabs, so I went with the old stand by.... Dried, frozen blood worms... I first tried Seal Beach for no bites on the SCs or BWs.. After wasting a couple of hours there, I made a run to Huntington Beach... Good choice... After a few misfires with 2 dinky BSP, I ...

Nice job! Keep it up!
