Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Re: Went for grinners, got the critters

You did better than I did. Good call on the ray, in theory they should be giller candy bait since they do love eating their fellow elasmobranchii. Hopefully next week.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Strike Out Again 1/9/15
« on: January 10, 2015, 11:04:12 AM »
Although conditions were not ideal yesterday we decided to head to the grounds. 3-4ft surf with the occasional 5-6ft pounder rolling through, hellish eel grass, and a ripping southwestern current, Peak high was at 12:30AM, we arrived at 6:30 PM. Eel Grass, Eel Grass, and more eel grass, I did manage a baby kitty on the light rod but other than that it was dead as dead can be. Decided to relocate and do some harbor mud marlining at about 12:00AM. It was also dead in the harbor, but at 1:30AM my buddy gets the screamer that would lead to buoy heartbreak, and it looked like a quality Bat too. Fished the deadness till about 3:00AM. A long day with not very many fish, still a nice night to be out.

Anyone who says that they wouldn't shriek totally would in the situation 
. Mind you this 6-7ft shark was in a little more 3 ft of water.

Freshwater Shore Fishing Reports / Sewer Cats 1/6/15
« on: January 06, 2015, 05:48:41 PM »
Every Tuesday I am ran out of my place for 3 hours for street sweeping, so I decided to check on my drainage cats. I put catfish in the local wash as a kid and now 10 years later they have reproduced and are in good numbers. My secret urban spot. Spent much of the day trying for carp at the local park, then we went to the wash. Me and my girlfriend both hooked up instantly.
Mine went 3lbs her's 3.6lbs. Now it was time I could return home and take a nap from last nights long night and fright. These fish are great fighters but riddled with parasites, so while I do like catfish these bad boys are all CNR.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / I think I'm too deep 1/5/15

Finally was able to make it out for the first time in the new year. Still sporting my stylish 2014 bat ray wound but it is finally closing up, we hit up the Seven spot. Clear water, no salad, sub 1ft surf with a negative low going to a 3.9 high at 10:34 PM. Moon was bright as day and there was lots of bird and dolphin activity right outside the breakers. My buddy gets a pick up around 8:00 but manages to farm it hard. I wanted to check my bait since it had been tapped a few times but nothing committed. Reel in, turn my headlamp on, since it was the last cast on the long I was going to make for the night I decided to go for broke. Waded out to waist deep water and posted up, by this point the area had filled substantially. I cast and then look to my left. I saw a body lazily cruising the bottom and I thought it was a trophy leopard shark which are always cool to see cruising. Then one of the bigger swells came and I see it catch the wave B lining it right to me. By this point my headlamp had the whole head and body illuminated and it was a decent sized 7 gill. I was hoping I was seeing things, but to be safe I shrieked like a little girl, jumped back and threw a kick in front of me. I felt the sandpaper give as I kicked it in it's gut right behind the pectoral fin and he gave me a goodbye slap of it's tail on my shin. Had me hyperventilating and everything, it truly caught me off guard and was quite terrifying since I could tell he was coming to inspect what I was. The usual pig perch and smelt made their appearance in good numbers but not even a bat ray was stuck on the long rods. Well, at least I know the sevens are active, and glad they showed me that they are not very far at all. Sorry no fish or scenery porn, just a story. Next week we're gonna get one on the sand!

What a way would that have been to kick off '15, a big fat grinner. I'd take a piggy calico for my first though! Gonna give a nighttime run for some of our leatherskins this week. Hopefully we can all manage some good tasmanian tiger sharks this year!

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Re: Tough night
« on: December 30, 2014, 08:51:49 AM »
Fish are probably still getting used to the new chemicals in their environment from the drought and then the recent rains . Should pick up soon, it's been super slow long rodding up north for us as well. I did manage a 52" bat yesterday, but that is the first decent fish I've seen in about four 8 hour sesssions

No respect for the backs of thorn. Shame they are a great kelp simulator. Nice looking session as always, have yet to even bag a horn shark.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Re: The not so epic return.
« on: December 20, 2014, 06:48:33 PM »
Lol anything that is not kelp or spiny molecrab is a non-skunk in my book. Even though it may feel like kelp, it is in fact a thornback, a fish, technically no skunk

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / The not so epic return.
« on: December 19, 2014, 07:28:54 PM »
So with the leg feeling much better, but the hole still healing, I decided to waterproof bandage it and see what the surf looked like after all this high surf activity. First spot was in Carpinteria and was a total bust, just lots of debris and kelp. Then we moved to our sevengill spot but didn't wade out much and was not really putting in the time for them. Very slow, with just one spiny molecrab to show for it. Cast out some squid on my light rod while we're packing up and just ghost set it before I reeled it in and was greeted by a small thornback. Better than a skunk. Look forward to going after the general quarry after this weather and surf dies a bit. Looks like you all down there are getting some decent bat action!

Always cool to try unfamiliar territory with some location specific fish! Good job on the CSPs. I'll be visiting family in Manteca, a little bit of a drive to the salt, but I hope to fish the San Joaquin river at least once for striper, or maybe even a sturgeon.
