San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Started the day by finding only 2 sand crabs, so I went with the old stand by.... Dried, frozen blood worms... I first tried Seal Beach for no bites on the SCs or BWs.. After wasting a couple of hours there, I made a run to Huntington Beach... Good choice... After a few misfires with 2 dinky BSP, I ...

First one looks to be a sarcastic fringehead and yes a cabazon

Grandson called and asked if I'd like to fish with him and his girlfriend.. Sure... So we made plans to fish Alamitos Peninsula with some lug worms... We tried the bay side 1st for no bites.. Very clear water, but no sign of bait or anything else... Then we jumped over to the ocean side and it was ...

Drizzly low tide today. Found a good rip and sent a soft shell to the head for this fat croaker.

1st morning at Crystal Pier… Every cast was a BSP… Except for a couple that I farmed and one cast that went unmolested…Ran out of SCs and was back at the room by 7:30 drinking coffee..Most were hand size, no dinks, except for a couple that were 12 to 14 inches… No corbs or croakers to be seen ...

I made a few long casts with hard shells and found a couple of croaker. Then I found some soft shells and it was fun times catching corbina in close.

Best way to do it is to keep it in a damp cooler with maybe some wet towels or over seaweed. As long as they're kept in a cool, dry place and don't dry out or are kept submerged in water (where they will suck up the O2 and suffocate) they will be fine for a couple days. An easy way to prepare them ...

Yes, it's important to keep lobsters alive until you're ready to cook them to ensure they stay fresh. After catching them, transport the lobsters in a cooler with damp towels or seaweed to keep them moist and cool, but not submerged in fresh water or directly on ice. During the long drive home ...

Decided to wade a local creek, and was able to pick up several sunfish although the bass wouldn't cooperate. Was using an olive beadhead bird of prey from tfs that has worked well in the past for pretty much everything, although as of late it hasn't worked the same. My guess is the continued cold ...

If you like stripping streamers in shallow water, now's the time up here! I've picked up 42 fish in 2 days, ranging from 12" to 23". I'm fishing the flats in the back of Lake Mary, mostly stripping black leaches with a flashback hares ear trailer. 11 of the fish were between 20"-23" and caught in 2 ...

Been hitting San Diego one to two days a week for the last couple of months. Mostly between Fiddler's Cove area and south end of the Coronado Cays and from east to west.

Fishing has generally been good. A few slower days where the fish ate plastic grubs much better than flies but most days about ...

Crowley and Mary fishing great! Midges and Hornbergs killing it at Crowley..doesn't get any better! Most fish are up at the mouth of the Owens. A long kick from the Green banks. Mary was giving up nice 14"-19" fish on black leeches with a flashback hares ear trailer stripped in 4'-8' of water. I ...

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 ...

Very slow day at Bonita Cove/Mariner's Basin this afternoon, just like the tide chart and barometer said it would be. But the rain kept the people away so parking wasn't too bad.
Only got a couple of spotties, but they averaged 13 inches.
One of 'em ate a bass jig (green football head, 4" spider ...

Pm me with the model and I'll return it.

Fished around the Cays Tuesday, stuck with the channels.

Got 17 spotties, as well as two of these.

Back in June I started using speed clips for my calico bass hardbaits (Waxwings and Current Snipers). After that went ahead and tried them on my daytime tuna jigs( poppers and snipers). I was worried about the clips maybe straightening out at first, but not anymore. It takes me time to tie my knots ...

Managed to get out for a couple hours on the creek.
Previously, the new tiny fluke thing was getting whacked pretty consistently just flylining it.
Figured I would stick to dropshotting it this time out.
I mean, it looks like a shrimp or a bug or something anyway...

I think Vinny owns stock in that business!

You could hire me(I work for Tokyo rigs..ha ha) to take pics for you like the avatar shot I took or buy or make your own selfie stick.
Since you do fish a lot out of your float tube I know you hold your arm out with the camera and take the pics. I ...

It means weather is like a box of chocolates, never know what you're going to get.
Tom Hanks , said it best.
A 50yr weather prediction seems silly..

Every time I get sad about this weather I look at my last summer's electric bills and I start feeling much better all of a sudden
