Original plan was to go throw small flies on the ultra light trout rod at schools of mullet. That changed after spending 1-2 hours and finding only 3 mullet up shallow that didnt want to play. Tossed on the ned rig with a really small fluke and the bite was on. It wasn't a numbers day but very good ...

Got up to the bridge right before 11. Steady action on the trusty crankbait. Also got a nice corvina in front of Tidelands on the underspin. Definitely a good day by my standards. 19 spotties with only a few dinks, 1 short halibut on a lipless crankbait of all things, 1 corvina and even a needlefish ...

Started at sunrise. Hit the mooring field while waiting for friends. I was throwing a skunk buster 3/8 oz tube and had 5 by the time they got on the water. Great day of fishing out there with the wind and swell. Ended the day with 20 spotties, 1 ugly ass guitar fish, 3 halibut (1 being legal that ...

Floated Tidelands Park this morning from 6:00-9:00 with a steady bite the whole time. Drop shot robo worms on a 6lb ultra light trout setup was all I ended up using. Handful of spotties, yellow fin croaker, a halibut and a chunky Sargo.

Started throwing at grey light. Literally in the middle of nowhere. Threw a bass jig a couple times to check depth, 12-15'. Nice depth for the chatterbait, so I changed rods. 1st cast on the chatter. Boom! Gaffed her, stepped on her, stabbed her in the brain,threw in the ice box to die. 20 minutes ...

My first spotfin! Red krabbypatty fly at Blacks, 7:00AM, -1ft tide. Kelp was a nuisance and got worse as the tide came in. I did not see any corbina.

If you like stripping streamers in shallow water, now's the time up here! I've picked up 42 fish in 2 days, ranging from 12" to 23". I'm fishing the flats in the back of Lake Mary, mostly stripping black leaches with a flashback hares ear trailer. 11 of the fish were between 20"-23" and caught in 2 ...

Hit MB before work today, could only fish for about 45 mins. High tide with marine layer. Got 2 small spotties and 1 small mackerel. The mackerel took the fly on the surface as I was starting the next cast. Nice way to start the work day but all day I just want to go back to fishing.

:geek: Got back from 4 epic days in the Sierras this past week. Started out fishing fishing Rush creek on my way way up to Bridgeport. Fished the section just believe Grant Lake and if you know anything about this particular stretch you know how technical and spooky the fish are in here. We stop by ...

The past two weekends I've been going out with Tubefly . I've been exclusively sight fishing for Carp, but Bill doesn't have the patience and vicinity-fishes with an indicator. I got four carp last week and six yesterday, and lost a whole bunch more. But more importantly, I had the most shots on ...

Fair to excellent Calico fishing the last 3-4 weeks. Even with the red tide at times, we could find fish in patches of clearer water, but the catching has been better since the water cleared.

Flies, jigs, spinnerbaits all about equally effective. I have only been using flies. Best catching occurs ...

Crowley and Mary fishing great! Midges and Hornbergs killing it at Crowley..doesn't get any better! Most fish are up at the mouth of the Owens. A long kick from the Green banks. Mary was giving up nice 14"-19" fish on black leeches with a flashback hares ear trailer stripped in 4'-8' of water. I ...
