San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

No clips for the win this morning at Harbor Island. 3 Barracuda and 1 Mackerel within an hour. It pays off to be patient.

Im looking for some advice on what lb test of fluorocarbon leader I should be using when using 15lb or 25lb braided line.
Does it really matter if it’s 100% Fluro ?

I’m looking for some incite on how to set up a live bait rig to use at the bays, jetties, piers, ect. I have never tried it, so any recommendations and tips would be great.

Recently I have been looking into wind direction and how it can affect the fish. I’m still lost on the subject but does anyone have any in-site to what wind direction is best for fishing ?

I can’t speak for others but I have not had any luck with SMB even when the conditions are right. Is this place just extremely hit or miss ? Or is it just the basic layout that makes it not so appealing for decent fishing? To me is just seems flat all around.

I have had better luck in the north ...

Hello,

I’m looking for direction in regards to planning fishing trips for SD Bay and Mission Bay. From the material that I read both bays fish differently.

What are the best times and tides for these bays? What’s the best way to fish them ?
