San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

only got to fish an hour this weekend after work in the rain. Went to cardiff and saw birds diving. Tried the jerk bait and spoon but no luck. Saw a few other dudes fishing and I think I saw one pull in a bass and the other a big croaker. Not sure what they used and how they were managing with all ...

I made a few long casts with hard shells and found a couple of croaker. Then I found some soft shells and it was fun times catching corbina in close.

So last week I finally made it out to the Tuna Harbor Dockside Market and picked up some Ahi, Albacore, Opah and Escolar fillets. I love sashimi and poke but I know it's not recommended to eat raw fish because there is a risk of food poisoning or contracting a parasite.
Basically it has to be ...

Slowly added some pieces of dry ice. It's best to make the pieces the size of a golf ball or so and add them slow so the liquid doesn't boil over the top
Dry ice is very cold and will burn your skin almost instantly so handle with care!

Once the temperature dropped below 30-35F I added few more pieces of dry ice and started putting the fish in

When you're ready to eat your fish, just put the packets into a room temperature water for about an hour and it's ready to go!
The sashimi came out excellent, as fresh as it gets.

P.S. Don't try this at home

Thanks for the instructions. For those who try this, make sure you're in a well ventilated area, or you can pass out from the CO2.

That's what happens when a person has too much time on their hands
I should have just went to H-Mart and bought me some sashimi grade fish

Pretty sure this is not a re-launch of the old site. Why the comparison?


Only the format was cloned. These are different people, or else why launch a new site, when the old one could have been tidied up and rearranged a bit. I am an administrator on a couple of sites, and administrators can ...

Hit the Valley for an even 43 last week on Friday. Mostly cats and carp with a bass or two thrown in. No idea if I can post pix or a link, some footage is up on my YouTube channel. Put the carp in my garden after peeling some meat for flathead bait.

Yes! Got my favorite fishing location a place of its own! Thank You Bassman!
Hitting the Estero in Ensenada, or catching roosters in Punta Arena - Post it here!
The Baja season will be cranking up soon, and I have plenty of trips booked - here we go!

Good times.....

That’s a good sized Baja rooster. I never knew how big they got until I went to costa

Don't know if I missed it or if this is new. But a Baja forum is cool, so guess I'll post a report of my recent trip to San Felipe on the northern tip of the Gulf of CA.
Went for a family trip where family was the emphasis, I was able to sneak away for at least one high tide each day, but was ...

Just saw this forum, cool. Was down at Cabo Azul in San Jose over Spring Break. Took the kids this time. Fished two days. First day sucked for fishing but the kids were champs and we saw a grip of whales which was cool. Second day I went Out with just my father-in- law. I got 5 bonito, fun on the ...
