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 ...

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 ...

Let me help you with the math. That means you can get a cumberland float tube, with shipping, for under 100 dollars.

Bump for Tom....TMI about float tube gear here....

Yes those will work. Just know not all fins are created equal. I prefer neoprene stocking foot waders. Check Amazon. You’ll need an air pump, manual or small battery/ac mattress pump. Life jacket. Lots of deals on auto/manual inflating pfd’s right now

Hi Tom, my preference is hip waters, but I sit on a cushion so my butt doesn't get wet. I have Frogg Toggs Rana II hip waders (super cheap, less than $50) and they're comfortable and durable. I don't think it's cold enough in San Diego to necessitate neoprene, I use wool socks and a thermal leggings ...

Unless you have really long legs, you probably want chest waders. Sitting on top of a cushion in a tube will not leave much leg in the water and when the fins break the surface, that can spook fish too. Plus, when a nearby boat causes a wake, the water will surge up higher too.

I fish most ...

Marjorie in customer service told me my order has shipped....when I emailed and asked.

A big THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has contributed to the post so far.
There are a lot of different types of foods and places to eat out there and great to hear of some of your favorites.
It looks like I may be gaining a few more pounds as I am always hungry after reading your ...

Go to the doc, there's one at the office. Not sure about online. Pigs point is desolation point.

Desolation is not pigs. Pigs is below Wilson creek

Hard to believe the season’s already over. This was our third year of bass fishing, and it all started with our first trip to Barrett. Funny enough, I think the fishing was actually better in 2023 and 2024 than it was this year, but my numbers tell a different story. First season I was averaging ...
