San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

That would be a great way to go! Get out there and do it. So many areas to explore.

On Wednesday the Dolphin Half Day Boat kept 121 Corvina from San Diego Bay. They have routinely been fishing the bay this spring and have been pushing farther and farther into the back bay. While totally legal it’s a pretty embarrassing look for the Dolphin considering rockfish season is open and ...

Disgusting and disgraceful the only guys fishing off sport boats dont have the talent to find and catch the fish themselves from shore

They are definitely starting to spawn which makes it even more cringy. Not to mention the fact they don’t even know what species they are catching and are likely submitting incorrect fish logs to Fish and Wildlife. And people wonder why they want to close our fisheries down….

We need more regulations and MPAs

sport boat logic: if it swims, kill it and harvest it

Half day boats are a plague. Their business model of needing to not only catch, but harvest as many fish as possible in order to support the deckhands' incomes with filet dollars may have done more to negatively impact California's coastal fisheries than any other type of recreational fishing. I've ...

That's really a shame and embarrassing

I’m sorry but people need to be slammed for doing ignorant stuff like that. Legal limit or not, keeping 121 of a sensitive species in the middle of their spawn just so you can make a few extra filet $’s is exactly what’s wrong with our fishing industry. Not to mention they didn’t even know what ...

I went out on the Dolphin AM half day trip yesterday. The trip was planned and promoted as a bay trip targeting halibut. They have been running these trips on Wednesdays.

We fished the South Bay. The boat drifted the entire day, with no anchoring or chumming. The captain stated over the PA that our ...

I didnt fish the shallows, but instead fished around the outside bait balls. No fish came near the surface, all came on the bottom in the 75-120' range. All fish came on a 1 ...

Been having fun with the ghosts this spring. second photo fish just squeaked by 35”. 3 legals for me from shore this year.

...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 scooped a fairly well used one of these over the summer and it's very comfortable and light. Hope someone gives it a good home.
