San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

I'm hoping for some pretty stellar corvina fishing after this thing passes. Water hasn't been warm enough for a good spawn this year so hopefully that warm water and the rain trigger something. A little early though, usually they have a smaller second spawn in the fall anyways.

How warm does it need to be for them to spawn? Been over 70 for 2 months. 79 degrees in the back bay yesterday even after the water rolled

For LMB fishing, I'm using straight braid a lot more and can't see my line choice evolution turning back.

For the concerns about riping hooks/ baits away from fish, which combo, spinning or baitcasting would be considered to compensate more for this worry?

I am more accurate with a bait caster ...

Hi everyone, I moved to Massachusetts a month ago and have been fishing a lot in my free time. I had heard people tell me that the inshore fishing here was good but I wasn't expecting it to be this good. I'm not even exaggerating, I think I've caught close to 200 striper since late August. I caught ...

no cooking...Salt (heavily) the filet, refrigerate for 30 min. Rinse off salt and slice edges off and retain for Maki (roll) and Poke (shown in the bowl), leaving the beautiful even slabs for sashimi. I could provide more details of the assembly and ingredients, but I am ...

BTW, my rig shot this underwater Bass video and it was posted on SDFish YouTube in 2015

Been cooking up the halibut caught last weekend. Just cooking in a pan with a little oil, putting it on a plate with soy sauce, tartar sauce or lemon juice on each forkful. Or tuna quesadillas.

But last night I was stuffed and still had a cooked piece. Mashed it up with a fork, added mayo, pepper ...

Found this tiny thing floating in el cap, grabbed it hoping to see what the fish are eating and was a little confused once I had it on the deck. WTH is it?

Bigscale Logperch were inadvertently introduced to CA in a shipment of sunfish to ponds on Beale AFB in Yuba County in 1953. The ponds were flooded and the fish were flushed into the Feather River. They have since made their way anywhere water from Northern CA is pumped.

Caught a larger tilapia earlier this year and didnt think much of it. Fished the ither day and found a school of what I thought were "bluegill" in the reeds but boy was I wrong.

I've seen one floating in San V last year!

... Piranhna

I remember the locals swearing that my local pond growing up had piranhas. Ended up being some pretty cool looking pacus. And since the pacus had somewhat gnarly looking 'teeth,' they still continued the rumor that it had piranhas. The best bycatch from that place was a huge Arowana ...

Pulled straight from Dill and Cordone (1997), History and status of introduced fishes in California 1871-1996 Fish Bulletin 178, but it could be misinformation...what do I know?

Twas the day after Christmas and I headed out, with my trusty old float tube in search of a trout. Mist hung o're the lake in the crisp morning air, I pulled on my fins and kicked out with a flair.

Armed with my new bait finesse reel and rod, forty pounds of trout lures (some that looked rather odd ...

Put your wallet and car keys in a waterproof, floating container and do not open the container for any reason until you need to unlock the car to drive home.
