San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Grass. Traffic.

That's my report for the weekend. Grass and traffic.

I'm sure this was partly my fault, as I was only able to get to the beach on Friday and Saturday late afternoon/early evening as the tides were receding and/or already out, but they were WAY out at MB when I arrived. I also ...

Thinking about heading that way again for a couple of days. I was wondering from the people with experience, how does the fall season effect the species of fish that you catch, sand crab availability, different baits etc. One of the most interesting things about the ocean to me is how different ...

Thanks, that is the kind of thing I was asking for. Always interesting to see the seasons change. I am torn between heading up to the mountains for some creek fishing, or heading back to the surf. I like fishing the bay too. Spotties are great fighters.

I have caught some of my largest corbina in the fall.. They may not be as fat as summer corbs, but they are still around...Can't say I've caught as many SFC as in the spring or summer, but the perch and YFC still seem to be as abundant.. And as it cools even more the large, mama perch start showing ...

Past years I've had some good sessions in October into Nov for corbina & spot fins. Haven't been out for over 2 weeks due to conflicts on the home front so can't give you any fresh intel. Hope to soon.

There you go, nice ! What did it bite on ? With crabs all but gone, I'll be armed next time out with mussel & clam meat, maybe some freeze dried lug worms also.

Got into some perch and snagged a few shovelnose at Blacks on Sunday. 4 perch on the morning falling tide, and ended the day with a beefy 12 incher.

There's always a few cuts right at the trail to the gliderport, but I tend to find most success near the north trail by the golf course.
Dumb question, but what is a cut? I checked out Blacks this evening near the North Trail, it was a low-ish incoming tide. It all looked like smooth beach to ...

Recently moved to Flagstaff AZ from San Diego, and I figured y'all would find this interesting. I have been fishing Oak Creek Canyon heavily, catching wild browns, stocked rainbows, and native Gila trout. The Gilas seem to love dries, especially hopper reaction bites when the fly hits the water ...

I like the engineering on this setup with the full outrigger, thanks for sharing that. I have some thinking to do now.

Hiya.

Amazon has the 6 inch gulp sandworms in camo, on sale for $5.54 per pack. Assuming these are standard packages, with 10 sandworms per.....

That works out to 9.233333 cents per two inch chunk. \

As opposed to 33 cents each if you buy a pack of 2 inch sandworms for $7.99.

I ordered some ...

Danforth anchor with 10 ft galvanized rode. Cleaning out the garage and I just don't need it anymore.

I like Werfless because he likes everything good to see him posting on this new and revised SDfish fourum

What would a local fishing forum be without Werfless? Most likely not werfless, but maybe werf a little less.

Saw that, @Gotfish ... Nabbed my old IV article off the old site and revamped it for the Fish Hype community articles page. Like I said, when my first post here is smack talked like my old posts over there by the same people, tells me what I need to know. I am far closer with Roman and Co over there ...

Why does everyone seem to think there was some nefarious reason the old site closed?

Sounds like a plan. The Dodgers will hopefully win another World Series for Butch and California!
But as soon as the next baseball season starts....I'm back with the Padres.

Cruising speed depends on how much fuel you’re ok with burning. Definitely no problem daily. Again depends on your disposable funds for fuel.

Only tip I have is swing wide to the whistler buoy going into SD bay. It seems really far out but if you’re unfamiliar with that turn and where the kelp is ...

Spent several hours at the loading bench this weekend . 5 Boxes steel 12 ga dove loads , 8 boxes 3 inch duck loads . Can't wait to get out there . May do a bit of Cottontail hunting the next couple of mornings . Stay safe in the heat . WR
