San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Hit the surf 7 am. Threw LC almost the entire time. 3 solid bumps 2 hookup’s that resulted in spool (almost I had to palm the spool so I don’t lose my braid) left at 10 30. Lots of sand crabs but they were very small.

Damn. Spooled on the LC?! Heartbreaking

I did save the braid but yeah essentially spooled. Just outgunned and couldn’t put enough pressure on them. I’m thinking a big ray or shark. Hate to think I lost a big WSB so yeah probably a ray/ shark

Trying to learn the SD coastline. what area in Torrey Pines and do you fish an incoming hightide?

Low tide for me. Easier to see the structure

Yeah. Definitely could have been a fouled ray but those yellows do come into the breakers. I would definitely tell myself shark or ray haha

A tanker WSB would be a much cooler thought

For sure but they break pretty quick. They are good for 1 or 2 strong runs then start giving up

If it makes you feel any better I'm almost 100% sure you snagged a couple of bat rays.

I was there last week and I hooked into three of them. They were everywhere.
