San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Haven’t been on SDfish too much lately but I decided to post this catch. I was planning on taking out the kayak but didn’t want to go through the hassle of loading it up so instead, I went on the bank. I saw some fish busting so I decided to throw a small 2.8 Keitech on an underspin. I got caught on ...

Chuck ( 619bassin ) and I hit lake Baccarac in Mexico for the last few days. We had fished the lake together four years ago and had a blast back then.

Left San Diego via Tijuana to Los Mochis Sunday morning, a 1.5 hour flight and a 2.5 hour van ride, arriving there late Sunday afternoon. Grabbed ...

Did a brief 6 hour session this overcast Sunday without much todo. This was a break-in trip for the new SUP yak and it preformed well. Started off at the Ski Beach Boat Launch and fished my way (regrettably against an incoming tide) from Dana to Quivira without a bite. Eel grass is heavy around Dana ...

Got on it from the Natty City ramp around 7. It was calm, smooth, with a hint of tropical rain here and there. Steady spotty bite on plastics/underspins at Square Mile. Figured there might also be a channel bite and slid out to the main just south of the bridge. Instantly rewarded with a better ...

I took my dog to fiesta Island for a couple of hours. Caught 5 croaker throwing small grubs.

Fished the back of mission bay, afternoon outgoing tide. Was joping to get on a crankbait bite but they werent into it. Switched to the trusty weedless fluke and the bite was on. Loads of bait in clearish water. Nothing big but fun on light line.

Homemade chatterbait, 10lb mono.

I took me 10 tries to get her in the net. Evertime I got her head in, she would back out and shoot down. This fish knew exactly what a net was and exactly how to avoid it. I finally got her in because she was ...

I have missed fishing the local beaches lately, so I made a quick trip to Seal Beach with a few blood worms... There was a lot of eel grass to contend with, but did manage a decent corbina and calico... A small corb and two dink sand bass... Nothing huge but a fun day... And I managed to get that ...

I am with you when it comes to enjoying the beach and ocean on those morning trips. I am not a "morning person", but I am if it's part of a Surf fishing trip.

One of the first good tips I got from an angler is that Del Mar fishes well at +3 feet. The tip wasn't particularly valuable as a guarantee ...
