Those bigger perch will go for hard baits. Been awhile but remember getting a few 12"+ slabs hitting the LC while targeting halibut

I fished Carlsbad near lifeguard tower 36 around high tide. There was one other angler there. He was using what looked like a camo sandworm. I didn't see him catch anything. I was using a 1" red with blue flake curly tail grub and caught one BSP. I had another pull the hook off because I neglected ...

Took the day off to create a four-day weekend, so I headed to the shore for some fishing.

Mussels were the bait du jour.

I got there close to 6:30 and fished until about 9:00. Relatively calm morning while the tide was out, but as the clouds burned off and the tide started to come in, the wind ...

Give it a go... I bailed this morning because of the tides and predicted surf up here, but you never know, I'll usually just fish when ever I can, independent of tides...

That is generally how I am too, Butch. I fish early mornings when I can and if the conditions are ideal, great. If ...

I am definitely intrigued by the small waves and the low tide... in my head, its like pier fishing from the shore. You can the bait/lure WAY farther into the water than you ever would in normal conditions! I just typically only have morning availability to fish, and the extreme high tides can ...

While chucking it way out there seems to be a common thread, I try and stay well back and fish the holes and troughs near the shore, especially ay low tide. I see the Guys with waders going chest deep and throwing way out. I fish inside them, often casting at 45 degree angle if not sideways even ...

Advance scouting of target area pays off. Nice going there bud !

I have often wondered why I don’t see more Ospreys with Corbina hanging from their Talons. Then the pictures started showing up. It’s a fit made in heaven.

After taking a month off from the sand, met up with @Jusbigguns this AM for a year ender. Never seen the surf so low & mellow as this morning, no swell whatsoever. Decent enough perch bite right off but shut down all together after 8 am. Outgoing tide was receding very fast. Couple of 8 inchers & a ...

Not sure if “peak” is the right term, but my son and I hit up Mission Beach to try fishing the extreme low tide of this weekends King tides.

We tripped over some really large clams that were getting exposed in the water, but the fishing was about as I’d normally expect; handful of perch of various ...

When I finish Mission Beach I usually look for rip currents and white water. Seem to have better luck.

I had a small window this morning before some soccer games so I headed back to the beach. Still cold, obviously, but it was an otherwise beautiful sunny morning. Calm surf, calm currents, clean waters, and an active perch bite. Tiny coquina clams were popping up everywhere under my feet, which ...

Nice.. These cool, crisp mornings are really beautiful, if a little cold…

Swimming or Floating is the catch . Have seen multiple citations given for standing and spearing Corbina at TP State Beach . The guys had said " we do it all the time " and the officer said they were lucky , he wouldn't confiscate gear. He did however confiscate the fish the people had . I have done ...

I like the cold months less dodging drifting swimmers. And I love when the water temp is higher than the air feels like a footbath
