San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I fished the south Pacific passage from 6:00am till 9:00am. Caught 9 bass. Loss just as many. Had the place to myself didn't see anybody else fishing out there.. maybe because it was kind of choppy and a little bit of wind. I just drifted around in the current .

Heres some recent shortfin corvina pics. I got the SFC bug for a couple months and let it interrupt my green fish game. It was fun, but after dropping a 9lb largemouth this weekend right at my feet, I'm kinda over it. Goin back to freshy. A couple of these fish were 26-27" the rest were medium sized ...

when i was young, i was 99% c&r. that was mostly due to laziness and a lack of cooking skills.

in my house we’ve been eating fresh fish for over 25 years, makes it kinda hard to buy fish. especially when i go fishing every week

have you seen the price of fish lately.

I've personally never done that well at LS, but I have seen others catch bonefish, corbina, angel sharks, and even white seabass. It's about 15 feet deep in the middle of the channel.

Got on it from the Natty City ramp around 7. It was calm, smooth, with a hint of tropical rain here and there. Steady spotty bite on plastics/underspins at Square Mile. Figured there might also be a channel bite and slid out to the main just south of the bridge. Instantly rewarded with a better ...

Those jumping fish...If they're big silver fish with white bellies coming out of the water two or three feet, those are mullet. And unlike the highly functional, always fashionable haircut that shares their name, these fish are very difficult to acquire. They are largely vegetarian and don't often ...

I fish there all the time. I call it the "back bowl" or boat ramp. I've caught all the usual's out of there. Spotties, tiny barred sand bass, halibut, smelt, corvina, yellow fin croaker, and even 1 sargo. All caught on plastics. I've never caught a bonefish there or anywhere but they probably are ...

The bones do come in there on the flood tides.

There's much better spots to fish as a bank beater, even putting in months worth of time at this spot never yielded anything much compared to other productive areas. Only thing guaranteed is a case of deafness after a couple planes take off.

I took my dog to fiesta Island for a couple of hours. Caught 5 croaker throwing small grubs.

There isnt one single square inch in Mission bay or SD bay that someone hasn’t tried to kick me out of:

too close to the military
too close to my boat
too close to my company
too close to private property
too close to the nature reserve
can’t be in the shipping lanes
can’t be here, we’re doing some ...

Comment period is ending soon on the 13th.

If you fish North Mission, or want to in the future, you will want to weigh in. I remember a few members of this board would get together back in the day for some good fishing fun up there, but ...

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 ...

Paul,
Most of my scheduled trips as a guide do not include us picking and choosing tides. The customers have an itinerary once they are here, and flight schedules going home. Therefore, I have learned you can catch fish anytime. Tidal flow is always better, but when you are stuck in an ebb, I found ...

Started at sunrise. Hit the mooring field while waiting for friends. I was throwing a skunk buster 3/8 oz tube and had 5 by the time they got on the water. Great day of fishing out there with the wind and swell. Ended the day with 20 spotties, 1 ugly ass guitar fish, 3 halibut (1 being legal that ...

My son and I fished SD bay yesterday from about 7am to 1030am. Started at the Bali Hai by the docks and scratched out 1 micro spottie, then drove to the harbor area and picked up a couple small kelp bass by Island Prime and behind Coasterra. Water was pretty clear and no smell. Only those 3 small ...

Hit the water at 6:30am off by 11:45.
Grey skies, 5 Kt east/SE breeze , constant
Tide still, but going out soon.
I hadn't been out in many , many moons...
I recently tuned up the yamaha 25 - 4/S, added a saltwater rated troll Motor & replaced the batteries marked 5/16 ...😆
So,
1st fish
13"spot ...

I launched by the bridge on Saturday morning, water was usual clarity. Got 22 spotties long lining soft swimbaits on 5/16-3/8 ounce jig heads from my tube in 25-40' of water, mostly 11-15". Long lining in deep water is my desperation method when nothing else works.
