San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

That’s a great month of fishing. Do you fish there daily?

Daily but during the right conditions, swells, wind, tides, moon - there are about 10 worthwhile evenings out of each month marked on my calendar. That is 2 five-day runs, coinciding with moon phases but some months have very few fishable ...

Before freezing the fish, pat drying with paper towels to ...

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!

Hit the Valley for an even 43 last week on Friday. Mostly cats and carp with a bass or two thrown in. No idea if I can post pix or a link, some footage is up on my YouTube channel. Put the carp in my garden after peeling some meat for flathead bait.

I had a last minute cancellation and was not having success finding a replacement. Therefore I decided a day at Barrett would be far more beneficial than the final two weeks of school "health section" in Science class for my son.
