San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Went for a half-day trip on the Dolphin boat early morning of the 13th. The Fishing was very slow, apparently due to the water temperature dropping a few degrees overnight. Managed to get a decent Calico and a couple of whitefish in the cooler water, but that was it. Eventually, the boat relocated ...

So I butterflied out a dorado to cook for my family's early labor day party. It's not a true zarrandeado since I didn't do it over hot coals but 45 min on the smoker and a few on the grill for some color does the trick.

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 ...

Very steady beach fishing in late June. Tallied 30+ calicos, 8 short white seabass to about 22", and 2 legal halibut - all gently released except the halibut. Saw some relative beginners get a legal halibut yesterday from the rocks throwing a swimbait. :D

Been fishing since May. First two weeks I went every day to Torrey. Skunked. Since then,I have caught close to 100 fish at my favorite beach. Occasionally would come back to TP to try again... skunk. The other day finally caught my first fish... three small corbina which were released. Lots of kids ...

I keep it simple. If blind casting into structure, red worm-like flies (Krabby patty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iplF2Q7Oo5I ). If sighting fishing beans, surfin merkin. I keep them small, size 6-8 hooks, small brass eyes.

You need a line with a fast sinking head (6ips) and intermediate ...

Lately I've been out in the surf with the fly rod every weekend - North Torrey, Blacks, Mission and Coronado mostly. I'll be at Coronado dog beach on Sunday with the 6 weight throwing red worms or merkins. A few weeks ago a guy in our club was throwing a micro clouser and caught a striper. The 6 is ...

Plenty of action today on the north jetty. Went out a few hours after low tide and stayed until the tide started falling.

Kelp bass, rock wrasse, perch, sculpin, and cabezon were attacking on every cast. We were throwing dropper loop rigs with shrimp on size 4 hooks, and within 10 seconds of the ...

The surfzone is an ever changing environment where the best locations on a beach can change from day to day, tide to tide, or even during a tide. Storm surges or heavy surf alter beaches quite rapidly. Some beaches, or even sections of beaches, will fish better on outgoing tides and others on ...

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 ...

A little local color...

Might as well get a paddleboard report in here even if its not from San Diego!

Ive spent the last few weeks targeting backwater tarpon and its been a blast and a pain in the butt. I started fishing small baits and flukes and the bites were slow to come, i switched to the No Live Bait Needed mini ...

Very nice, slick website, good prices, haven't been able to find any complaints about this site, so I ordered a fly reel from it. After a couple of weeks, there was no update on the order, but the payment posted on the day of the order. Each time I checked the order number on the website, I got a ...

I bet everyone is having a good year in the garden. Nice weather so far, not to hot.
Few pictures of The groceries.

I remember who here repeated this nonsense


In a landmark ruling on September 1, a federal court stated that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) abused its authority under federal law when it advised Americans to “stop” using the drug Ivermectin as a ...

We have had waaaaay too much spam in the last two or three days. Hate to say it, but I think anybody who's name starts with "Svet" and they don't hail from anywhere in the U.S. should be banned, or else anybody who hasn't posted yet should be moderated until admins see that these people are legit ...

Got most of the way beck in Hauser by 5:30. Our first stop yielded 10 on various flukes and shad roboworms thrown at trees and the banks. We kept hearing splashes behind us so made the decision to chase boilers midlake. Nice payoff as we bagged another 21 throwing and dragging swimming minnows. Got ...

Hello all,

Barrett provided today. Here's the details though. Met Chuck at 0415 at pigs and we went our separate but similar ways, knowing we'd meet up later. At 0430 there was that light wind from the north and temp was already warm. Water temp was 80. I went to the mouth of Hauser and Becky's ...
