San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Got three big perch this morning--two on sandworms and one on a kastmaster. One on the Kastmaster was big and fat and dripping baby perch that were bigger than my 1/2 oz kastmaster. I had read others talk about dripping babies but i had no idea the babies were so big. Fun day. My son and my buddy ...

On the water before sunrise, there was already someone fishing in front of the lagoon. I worked my way north of the inlet, chucking the blue and chrome kastmaster into gentle rollers. Shivered my way through some missed bites, no waders today I decided. Doh! Missed a bite then lost a hooked fish ...

Half of the Anglers didn't catch anything. It was slow although great looking water. The Raffle is great and its really a fun tournament. Good People just creating memories.

Received a report yesterday that a lot of sand crabs of all sizes are being found along Tamarack to the north of Carlsbad State Beach... Shouldn't be long before they start carrying eggs and begin to lose their shells...game on!

Not a particularly current report... But there was a nice window that had the San Diego stripers chewing on the beach a while back. Landed this one and lost a larger one a short time later. Took me back to the east coast, pulling stripers out of heavy surf on proper tackle. Next goals are land based ...

found lots of Micro sand crabs and then 2 beds of fingernail size baits. located 3 different Corbina on the incoming tide but no takers. hoping conditions continue to improve and things start to get good.

The water temps are up, the fish are out, and the spring swells are creating incredible structure. I saw schools of spotfin and a few lone corbina sliding in and out of the surf, some going tails up. Sand crabs are the size of roly-polies. Get out while you can!

7:00 a.m. till 9:00 a.m. fishing the double drop shot.on sand worms.
Caught 9 little Perch and one small Halibut. Started to get crowded around 8:30. Lot of families showing up kids everywhere. Time to leave. Must have been everyone from spring break. Not a fan of fishing in crowds.

You guys are missing one of life’s great joys…Watching a big ol’ corbina suck up your sand crab, then head out with your drag screaming…

Welcome back to surf fishing… You seem to be doing pretty well..I’m a North OC/South LA surf fishing guy… Bolsa Chica and Huntington are pretty much my home beaches.. I usually fish week day, 1st light, until about noon….. I look at tides, but fish when I can not depending on much else.. BC can be ...

Fished peak high tide as it receded this morning, line in the water at 6:15 and stayed until about 8:45. Not a terribly high tide but I forgot to check wave/swell conditions and was susprised to see almost no waves at all when showed up!

Fairly strong northerly current all morning and the winds ...
