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 slow day at Bonita Cove/Mariner's Basin this afternoon, just like the tide chart and barometer said it would be. But the rain kept the people away so parking wasn't too bad.
Only got a couple of spotties, but they averaged 13 inches.
One of 'em ate a bass jig (green football head, 4" spider ...

I've been watching a ton of YouTube videos about injection-molding plastic lures. '''

I know, I know...with all the cheap plastics available from Temu, on amazon and from bulk suppliers like Lockett, what's the point?

Well, the point is that for every big ol ...

You will need to make an account on our discord if you do not have one, as this is where we upload the photos. If you need a link to it ...

There was so much good info there

The attacking is already starting. Just leave it in the past and get over it. Anyone can guess why the site is gone and we will probably never know. Keep it neutral and move on. Bashing has started. -spilt milk, water under the bridge… If someone sees that there is all ready badmouthing against them ...

So last week I finally made it out to the Tuna Harbor Dockside Market and picked up some Ahi, Albacore, Opah and Escolar fillets. I love sashimi and poke but I know it's not recommended to eat raw fish because there is a risk of food poisoning or contracting a parasite.
Basically it has to be ...

Slowly added some pieces of dry ice. It's best to make the pieces the size of a golf ball or so and add them slow so the liquid doesn't boil over the top
Dry ice is very cold and will burn your skin almost instantly so handle with care!

Once the temperature dropped below 30-35F I added few more pieces of dry ice and started putting the fish in
I kept monitoring the temperature so when it went above 30F I just added some more ice

When you're ready to eat your fish, just put the packets into a room temperature water for about an hour and it's ready to go!
The sashimi came out excellent, as fresh as it gets.

P.S. Don't try this at home

Thanks for the instructions. For those who try this, make sure you're in a well ventilated area, or you can pass out from the CO2.

Thanks for the detailed instructions. You've gone to great lengths to ensure highest quality! Pretty impressive!

Wishing all of my fellow Vietnam Veterans a great day... I lay in bed this morning thinking about all of my friends from our time in country... Living and the ones no longer with us... Joe, Rich, Randy, Mark, Greg, Cappy, and many others..

On Memorial Day, all of us should never forget the sacrifice and the courageous deeds of
our fallen heroes and honor the brave men and women who fought in service for our great nation.

This is your place to post about fishing Baja, Mainland Mexico and all points South. Got a trip to Cabo or Belize? post about it here!

San Vicente was a lot of fun today. Nothing bigger than this one in the picture, but quite a few of them. All on dropshot. Roboworm in Oxblood red flake or Tequila Sunrise with 3/16 oz weight. Not even a look at jigs or jerk baits. Water was around 63 early this morning and by afternoon, I was ...

I really want to extend a huge Thank You to the SDFish community for bringing me on here.
Although I seem to be mostly a guitar builder these days, I haven't gone anywhere yet. I just renewed my Captain's License for another 5 years. Yes, I am still guiding. Expect pics and reports as the season ...

I've never had the opportunity to fish it. I always heard how great it once was. I think this is the best video I've seen of that period.

Just confirmed from the City(Bryan Norris).....opening day is Wednesday May 1st...........tickets go on sale Tuesday April 9th. Also Bryan wanted me to mention that they have received the last of the new motors last season, that means that we need to take care of these as they will be the last ones ...

Got to the lake at midnight and already 8 cars in front of me. The launch at pigs was smooth do to the high water. Parking was limited, don’t go pass the bathroom cause there’s no room to back up.
To the fishing, the lake is unrecognizable, water level looks full, the island towards Hauser isn’t ...
