I caught a large corbina quite a few years back, thaht had a perfectly round bite taken out of it’s side.. I made a comment to a couple of guys I was fishing with, that it looked like a cookie cutter shark bite, but I didn’t think they made it to CA…. When I got home I found out that they do show up on warmer years… A really weird and scary critter…

Went this morning from 6:30 - 9:00. Caught 1 YFC (11.5”) on an LC just before 7 am. From 7 to 7:30 nothing. Switched from LC to gulps, caught 3 perch. Including a feisty lil dude about 3.5” on a size 2 hook. Sand crabs were scarce. Put 1 sand crab on the hook with a small chewed piece of gulp to look like eggs. As soon as that hit the water it was gone, nice hit, failed to set hook. Switched back to LC caught 1 more perch just over 9”

I went to Carlsbad between the 2 outlets from Agua Hedionda Lagoon. 80% of my casts came back with seaweed on them. I caught one BSP on a white and silver paddle tail grub. No one else caught anything that I saw. Some guys made a few casts and just left.

Same experience I had a bit further south. I’ll post my Mission Beach weekend recap tomorrow, because my arms are still on fire from the giant balls of grass that were coming in on nearly every cast.
