San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Thanks for the info. We found the balls you are mentioning, I was running a bladed swim jig under them. Looks like I should have devoted more time to that.

28 spotted bay bass on Saturday from the float tube in South Bay, mostly on weedless Ned rig in and around the grass. Definitely slower compared to the recent days with large tide swings.

Nicest restrooms will be at the Coronado Del but they may have a security guard to keep the riff raff out (e.g. fishermen).

Thanks for the info on the City Hall spot. I usually use the one on the other side of the ramp, which isn't bad by public restroom/park/beach standards, but this one sounds even better.

Here is what I did on Sunday if anyone is interested.

Always entertaining and usually pick up at least a new thing or two. Love that Square Mile Flat area but notice you and Brad went around the corner towards the Strand? I will have to try that as it seemed like ...

Alright, the verdict’s in. Me and my buddies stunk it up,
plain and simple. They say the first step is admitting that you have a problem.

Been there, done that, many times!!

Major tide moving out after 8am but maybe the full moon overnight and bluebird skies w cool mornin noreasterlies thwarted a better bite. Started and spent the majority just south of the bridge at Square Mile and then did drifts outside the Cays and the Sweetwater mouth. Threw gulps, ned rigs, and ...

Thank you!

Halibut streak is over. Deep jiggin for 7 hours in a ripping tide today. Pretty tired. Just some bass, nothing photo worthy.

Saw this yesterday on Youtube, great stuff as always. I was out this past Saturday and it was slow for me and apparently some others. I only saw one fish get landed by the numerous boaters and yakers out near the bridge. I’m hoping for a better day this Sunday.
On a side note, I switch the majority ...

Sorry but I have read online that fishing slows down in the bay during the winter. You must be catching illiterate fish. Or ones without Internet access.

Same here.

Tackle Warehouse has good ones. Big eye so they don’t hang up on the split ring.

Congrats on a great start to the new year I love that you reached your goal.
I also take ( all ) my trebles off and use the Owner’s single hook replacements it’s makes it super simple and through the years I have never had one bend out or break plus I can store lures together without spending time ...

Nice 'butt.. WTG...

I randomly stumbled on this video last night scrolling YT and thoroughly enjoyed it! You have such a fun time out there and such a happy, positive attitude! Now I have to go broke on float tube stuff lol

Great catching and nice legal!! First…that vintage trap almost resembles a baby spottie with the colors and pattern? Second, butts love the smelt. A hundred years ago on the San Dieguito River just east of the race track we used to toss out bread pieces to call them to the surface and would scoop ...

You probably poured them.

Plenty of sculpin next to the midway. Dropper loop rig with market shrimp on size 4 hooks works great. Lots of small ones, but definitely enough keepers to make it worth an afternoon. Don’t cast far—they’re right by your feet.

I will be ordering as well. I found a pack of single hooks in my garage tackle store that were the right size but normal eye ...
