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 ...

Looks like a great Bday trip... Nice mix... I really like the SNGF... They put on a great fight... WTG... And Happy Birthday...

Thank you very much. And yea I love catching sngf and rays just due to the fight, now I’m just slowly gearing up my arsenal for trout season, testing new ul rods ...

Juvenile Spotted Cabrilla caught before the rain. Evidence of a breeding population in our local waters? Or just a lost fish…

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…..

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

Plain Cotton thread works fine. You only need special fishing thread if you wear special fishing shirts. And special fishing shorts. Or if you just want to feel special.

If you're not using a spinning rod, and a carolina rig, stop reading. You're wasting your time reading this, and you're wasting ...

I used to have an issue keeping the bait on the hook when casting. Now I've figured out around that but it doesn't stay on long enough once on the bottom because the wrasse gnaw it off. So I've always been meaning to do it with the thread but does that help with the wrasse?


Hope you packed a ...

The last two

Hello SDFISH,
Went on Black Friday shopping for fishing gears. Ended up only two sinking jerkbait. Headed straight to MB to tried it out, first stop landed 4 SBB and than stop at last stop about to call it a day. Landed at 20.5" hali

Original plan was to go throw small flies on the ultra light trout rod at schools of mullet. That changed after spending 1-2 hours and finding only 3 mullet up shallow that didnt want to play. Tossed on the ned rig with a really small fluke and the bite was on. It wasn't a numbers day but very good ...

Here is pic of the epic drift line. Right along the edge but casting shallow. It was bite every cast at times.

Hadn't been out for 4 months and I finally made it out Saturday afternoon. Fished from 5PM to 7PM and my buddy and I caught about 45 spotties. Fished just south of the bridge in about 15 feet of water. All fish caught on 3/8 oz jigheads and 4 inch shad tails. We first tried off the cays, but didn't ...

My wife was fixing some old photo albums.

Hammer head shark from Sd bay. About 30 years ago. There was a school of them, up to 6' long but we only had 8 lb test and only a little bait.

The only time I've seen mullet feeding was when they ate floating green weeds (not grass)....and nowhere near the bottom. I have never caught one on a lure (although one tore the skirt off my swimbait once).

Maybe a long wispy green ly?

I have caught a couple on bait in a creek....this one was ...

***edit: An article in the UT "Sand replenishment projects lined up for Carlsbad beaches," Oct. 7, said permitting delays pushed back the start of the dredging, and "Workers could begin setting up equipment as soon as Jan. 1. " ****


Hi peeps.
A news article in June said the dredging would start in ...

Couple of things.
If you fish the Coronado side, you may find yourself needing to access a restroom, after driving over the bay and drinking two cups of coffee. Some of the restrooms in parks don’t open very early.
Okay, down in the cays area, check the map for 101 grand caribe causeway. This is ...

2. Use old gear
3. Catch fish on a new lure
4. Catch a fish ...

[attachment=0]Osprey 2025 2.jpgI was out on Sunday as well. (Video is just coming out today) The ospreys are crazy! Not only did I have the one pull the fish out of my hand, but saw one rob a little kid of his trout at Lake Poway this week as he was pulling it out of the water. Not sure what's up ...
