Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Fresh bait in North County

« on: May 19, 2018, 05:04:20 PM »

Can anyone give any suggestions on where to get fresh squid and/or mackerel in North San Diego?

If not fresh, then frozen would work.

The shark gods wanted to show that you are a demigod. You'll probably get a Hammer, next time.

The answer of "shark fishing" usually leaves others in puzzlement and confused expressions.

Match the hatch. Well, sort of. Maybe the surf fish is the key. Maybe the Soupies are feeding extensively. Who knows. Future trips will tell.

What a great night. That one eel with the foot for scale was gargantuan. Was that Steve's foot?

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Mission Bay Skunkbuster

« on: September 25, 2016, 10:45:03 PM »

The boys and I hit a new AO, Saturday evening,the bay with high hopes, as usual. Unfortunately, the tide was less than optimum, but can't catch them at home.
Soaked baits for over 2 hours without a tickle of interest. Started packing up gear and getting ready to mark the session as another skunk, when the glow little longer rod started dancing but no line was being given taken. Hand held the rod for a few moments, waiting for the bumps or loading up. Thought it could be a Spotted, so I handed the rod to son one. He proceeded to feel in the root system for some eel grass. Strange stuff, it was. As we were looking at that, the shorter rod's clicker breifly went off. Same drill, different rod. BUT, this time, some weight and bumps were definitely there. Handed rod to son one and after a brief fight, a little 
Smoothhound came in, all rolled in the gear. Quickly detailing and a couple photo ops, the Smoothie was released, unharmed. Stayed for another 15 minutes before calling it.
The bay felt much cooler. Lots of eel grass. Maybe it while start to happen soon. We all could benefit from some tug of war.

This was our first shark from Mission Bay ever.

All of my gear is old school, as for conventional reels. Modern stuff is too pricey, with family (two teenage boys). With it being in the surf and sand, it's better for me. Main thing is to keep up the maintenance.
