San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Cudas were swarming off Harbor Island Sunday morning. Caught about a dozen on crankbait. My buddy was using a swim bait and they were hitting that also, but he couldn’t get a hook up until he went to a smaller bait. Of course, the one time I didn’t bring my fly rod…..

What grub you throwing? Color?

Spotties seem to hit just about anything. Sounds like a good day on the water.

Nice!... Tough little buggers...

Ahhh Texas rig to keep it weedless, is that 1/4 ounce bullet? Or 1/8?

How deep are you fishing that blade and how heavy is it?

Nice job and sweet canoe setup. I fished MB too that day around noon but from shore, got a few.

]But dont have a cold heart.

Took a break from lmb and tried a couple bay trips.

Sometimes fishing sucks, sometimes it doesn't. Recently got into a wfo spotty bite and hammered it for 3 hours. Never went more than a couple minutes without a bendo. Pretty much got bit every other cast on the yo ...

Started throwing at grey light. Literally in the middle of nowhere. Threw a bass jig a couple times to check depth, 12-15'. Nice depth for the chatterbait, so I changed rods. 1st cast on the chatter. Boom! Gaffed her, stepped on her, stabbed her in the brain,threw in the ice box to die. 20 minutes ...

Nice upgrade.

I had a good spotty bite going and then this guy decides to horn in. Too big for the net, too big for the tube, had to kick to shore just to land it, probably took at least an hour just to land. Released to get bigger. Got on a 5/16 ounce jighead and 4" clear grub, 6 lb test line. 26.8 lbs, PB, my ...

hey there sdfish, about time I start posting on the new site. wanted to share a pretty awesome catch I made on the paddleboard the other day - an angel shark!

I was fishing around some structure in the southern half of the bay, throwing a double rig with a couple 1/4oz pink tube baits. made a cast ...

Only got seven spotties, but a nice day on the water.
Three of the bass were decent sized, 13 to 14 inches.

Didn't to get pics of all of them, but at the end of the day I wish I had, to show the color range. One was brown and white, this one was medium, and the biggest ...

Thursday I decided to test iout my boat after doing some work to the motor. I wasnt expecting doing much fishing due to the tide was going out and I found they were dredging the mouth of the harbor. Fishing during the dredging I have found is not the ideal time to fish much less that the tide was ...

Went over on yak to Embarcadero side bay over by dole boat I did pretty good in that marina there where they launch the ferry early before tide hit to high prob 10 spotty and a baby calico decided to see if anything wanted to bite out deep drifting dragging a double rig I ended up w total about 15 ...

My son and I have been skunking so bad but I bought a kayak and we went out for the first time and got lucky. He caught 2 spotties, 2 calico, 1 sand bass, 1 halibut, and a spotfin on gulp plastics. I only caught one keeper halibut on live sardines trolling but we had a blast.

Finally got out to the bay wanted to get on some shark and ray. Got this thing instead. New pb 9 lb 24 inches. Fought well even on my shark setup

Got a total of 28 unless you count the 9 lizardfish. A mixed bag 2 yellowfin croaker, 1 sculpin, 15 (2 legal ...
