San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Oceanside area, local, how about Lake San Marcos? I've heard good things about the bass fishing there too.

Otherwise Lower Otay would probably be best city lake if you had a boat or a kayak to fish outside the tules. No boat? From a shoreline, maybe Lake Murray for the most shore fishing options ...

The only way to catch a carp on the fly consistently is to find the ones feeding. Otherwise it's almost impossible to catch one. Sure you may get lucky and catch an incidental one but I can guarantee it will not be duplicated. I've never been to Hodges but you'll need to do more observing than ...

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 ...

Howdy. I wasn't gonna write this up but a fellow sdfish member inspired me to do so. I did a turn around trip so two in a row. The first trip went as follows... Arrived in the zone early enough to get a 2 hour night bite which was super surprising to me, fished hard but nothing was cooperating. Grey ...

I was up early because of the time change. I checked the cams on Surfline and Torrey Pines looked very inviting. I fished the south of the side lagoon entrance around Tower 4. I read the beach and found a channel that was leading out from the shore. Around the channel there was a nice drop off and ...

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 ...

If you're into perch, might suggest Silver Strand if its not too far a drive for you. The perch guys in SD have been killing it there this year, more slabs reported than I can remember past few years. A buddy got a dozen or so over the weekend, four at 13" and a 15"+ model. I've seen the pics. Go ...

My PB halibut from the surf at just over 27"... I don't really fish these guys as I prefer corbina and SFC but have caught a ton of them as by-catch, but mostly non-legals... Only a couple of legals... You would be surprised how many you can catch with sand crabs ...

Tank of a bean ! Nice going & congrats.

That's a very solid corbina. Very nice first bean of the season - congrats!

Great way to end the day and kick off your summer bean season!

Really good perch bite yesterday for about an hour, 7 - 8 am on the incoming tide. All on small sand crabs that had roe on a #6. Could not find any softies. Got 10 in all, more than half were 10-11" plus. Was alternating baits with another rod setup with a larger #2 hook using lugworms and ghost ...
