San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Changed places and hit up silverstrand SB. Got there at 7am extreme low tide. Was throwing a Honeybadger 2.2" swim bait in motor oil and moderate salad. About 8 i got nailed and it broke in my 10' trifecta lite. Was a Bat Ray and i fought that beast for 20 minutes before i used the early release ...

Have caught a few dinks in the surf recently. Nothing impressive at all. But today one short hali maybe 20” spit up this thing which i learned is a queenfish. Pretty cool

I've been on other forums for years, just found this one. None the less, figured I would post something. This was last Sunday, it taped out a tad over 100" (largest male I've seen). Quick measurement and returned to the water, swam away strong. Always good to find a forum, hopefully you guys don't ...

Stuck a solid YFC on a clouser this afternoon in MB. Next cast hooked a ripper that pulled 30ft of line out of my hands, put a tad too much pressure and snapped off 8# leader. Been a tough winter for me so happy for this fish. Also first fly outing in months. Cheers to the new site

Nice. Looks like the season is finally starting to heat up.

Yep. Floating line with a 12ish ft leader. I like using the floating line in shallow bay spots. I gotta hit strouds and refresh my clouser supply. Bought some from Amazon last year and they were poor quality.

I use the same reel on my 6 weight - Show up to Bay Park Fish on Saturday and I'll tie up some for you! We'll be there from 11am to 1 in the back.

It's a great reel for the price in my opinion. Had mine 2 years now, the drag has been put to the test and is consistent and smooth. Plenty of sand ...

Solid fish! Green/White Clouser?

We gotta meet up. I've got so many extra ...

Went out again this afternoon. Got picked up once, no hookup. Before I left, saw some bait scattering and kept casting in the area. As I pulled my fly out of the water, a halibut jumped 3ft out of the water, scared the shit outta me. Tried to find him for another 20 minutes but no dice.

Haha! Same thing happened to me down in Baja - we were wade fishing an estero and as I raised my fly out of the water a halibut shot out and went over my shoulder! Fun times…

Well losing the last website was definitely a sad day for me. I had just started tying some new flies and they worked pretty well. However immediately after tying them went to post on the old site aaaaaaand it's gone.

So having it back up is nice. Tied up several fly fish food belly scratcher ...

I just wanted to be the first one to post on a topic ahaha here's some fish from this year.

The codes? Those were during SpottyBowl.
Things are going ok. Hope to see you around again soon for SP. Was good seeing you and the kids a few weeks ago. Keep your head up coach!

SDPD has DOTS. Designated Online Transaction Spaces at some stations. Example: Eastern Division station on Aero Drive. Not sure if other agencies have something similar....

Assuming the deal is legal. Might be a bad idea otherwise.

I try to meet people at Lake Murray and have never had any problems. Of course it depends where the buyer lives as sometimes I try to meet them halfway if it is feasible and in an open public spot. But I mostly sell rod, reels etc and not jewelry, computers, cell phones etc., as that is when you are ...

I just bring my security system along

What are some good places to buy fresh seafood, fish, oysters etc.? I usually go to H-Mart but maybe there are some alternative options out there.
Also is it safe to eat freshly caught tuna sashimi or it's best to freeze it first?
