If the babies are on the open sand the larger ones will probably start showing back up under the pier

Nice glassy conditions from 0645 to 0820. Throwing the kastmaster, but no interest from the finned ones. Saw 4 others trying, including a fly fisherman. Hope someone caught something!

Nice...Glad the crabs are starting to show..

Personal best jacksmelt! Glassy gentle conditions from 0645 to 0820. Salad become moderate to heavy halfway into session. A few perch bites, one dink landed. All action on the chrome and orange kastmaster.

Nice conditions this AM notwithstanding a fairly strong surge from the SW swell. I'd like to think it was responsible for the lethargic activity. Just a lot of taps & bait stealing from dinks in the nursery. Could not get a decent hit on mussel meat, dried lugs nor Gulp sand worm. Picked off a ...

On the water before sunrise, there was already someone fishing in front of the lagoon. I worked my way north of the inlet, chucking the blue and chrome kastmaster into gentle rollers. Shivered my way through some missed bites, no waders today I decided. Doh! Missed a bite then lost a hooked fish ...

Went down to mission beach to fish the HBB8 (Honey Badger Baits) tournament this morning. Tons of holes from tower 11 through 13, but they didn’t fill in til a bit later since the low tide was around 5:45am. Fished the LC 110 for a few hours, switched to c rig after some nice angler gifted me a cup ...

$20 buy in open to anybody. Any legal means to fish. Bait is also legal. I have fun meeting people from all over the coast. Larry sets the tournament up and he runs a great show. My Partner caught the Halibut.

Where do I look up dates and times for the next tournaments. Would like to try to ...

Do you happen to know
1) how many fish were caught overall?
2) how many participants there were?
3) start / end time of event?
Those metrics, combined, would give me a better sense of the futility of my hobby. 😆


If you go on Honey Badger FB page they have pictures. No fish count. Check in was ...

Half of the Anglers didn't catch anything. It was slow although great looking water. The Raffle is great and its really a fun tournament. Good People just creating memories.

On the sand at 6:30 this morning, just after the crest of the earlier high tide. Not my favorite to fish a falling tide right after a high, but I go when I can. Nursery time once again with the critters, 4 dinks, one 8 incher; actually call it 5 dinks with this little guy. Looked for crab Dink.jpg s ...

Not a particularly current report... But there was a nice window that had the San Diego stripers chewing on the beach a while back. Landed this one and lost a larger one a short time later. Took me back to the east coast, pulling stripers out of heavy surf on proper tackle. Next goals are land based ...
