Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / 2/16 TP North 1pm-3pm

« on: February 16, 2016, 07:38:41 PM »

Record heat.

Had to hit up the beach.

The neighbors son has been asking to go fishing with me ever since he saw me loading tackle into the truck.

I made him a promise that day. Now today I was able to deliver

Arrived at 1pm for the incoming tide
Wind never stopped
Water was clean
The cadence of the sets was unrelenting.
No weeds
The washed out beach and built up cobble stone has created massive pools with waves breaking right on the sand at some parts. *Didn't find and halibut laying around
Not your best conditions.




Throwing crack on a c-rig #4 mosquito was unproductive for over an hour.

Finally came across one bite... Walked further up the beach for nada. 

Parked the Padawan at the spot with the bite. Fished for another hour.



He was a quick learner. First time surf fishing. First time Spinning Reel.

He insisted on casting with his left. Next time I'll make him switch.

Ended up producing 0 fish. He was still very happy.

No complains.

Kept casting, ever optimistic. 



Great kid.

Tight lines!

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / 2/13 Getting a new PB at MB with Squidward

« on: February 14, 2016, 09:44:58 AM »

Thanks to Jaws with some fresh intel, I had somewhere to go. Thanks buddy! Get better soon!

Rewind. The night before I packed up all my gear and headed for the surf for some grinners. Shark cart and all. Got to the spot, walked the walk to get there. Only to be met with disappointment. Unfishable. Had to walk away. Didn’t even put a line in the water. Went home and drank beer instead.

Fast forward to the next sunset. I got to cash in on my fish karma.

What a perfect evening. Traffic was easy, parking was easy, and setting up was easy. When does the hard work start?

From my chair I could see to the left a family outing with a couple rods, to the right I spot someone scouting a location to put a sand spike.

After a quick convo I found that I would be in the great company of another forum member the rest of the night!

Lamnidae it was great meeting you brother! Hope to fish with ya again!



The tide swing was very minimal, what little wind there was died out at sunset, no weeds to deal with.

Opening my bait cooler, I found that Squidward had not defrosted yet. He was still in a cryogenic state. Instead I took ˝ a mack and impaled its eyes through my 10/0 Circle that was connected to 100lb mono with a 3oz cannonball setup. Followed by a swivel, then 80lb braid that was spooled on a Saltist 40.

I adjusted the drag on the reel, then tossed the whole setup into the pond with my 6’ 40lb Seeker.

Set the clicker, set my 30 minute bait timer, sat back and watched the sunset.

No action on the rod.

After the timer was done I checked the bait. No love. Decided to toss is back in while I ate dinner.

Afterwards I was able to coerce Squidward out of his deep freeze and pinned him and his brother on the 10/0. Tossed in, set the timer again.

10 minutes in there was a tug that I caught out of the corner of my eye. After turning my head, I got to watch my rod and spike bend over then my reel started to scream. I jumped up got the reel in gear and set that hook.

It has been a while since I’ve hooked into something of this size. I was nearly pulled into the bay.  After regaining my balance I couldn’t help but notice all the line she took out.

After buttoning down my drag I slowly worked her within 10 yards of shore. She must of realized at this point she was loosing. At her last attempt of escape, she went AIRBORN!

After seeing the massive size of this bat I called out for Lamnidae. I drew her back to shore after she took me for another walk up and down the sand(should have brought a step counter ). Lamnidae made the nose grab. Then dragged her prego butt ashore. Thanks for being Johnny on the spot, dude. I appreciated the help!

At this point every person within ˝ a mile has encircled me and my catch. I get the rod back in the spike and grab my camera and had it off to a guy in the crowd. Getting the tape over her back it comes back with a 57”! New PB woohooo!!!!!






Got the hook out, and gave her a proper send off. She left happy, but beaten.

Threw out 3 more double squids for nada, meanwhile Lamnidae gets two more bats on the sand. A 34”, and a 47”.





I don't have a pic of the man posing with his 47" or the tape shot. That's on your phone dude! Post it up!

What a great night.

Excited for the bat fights!


Tight lines!

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / 2/9 TP 4pm-530pm

« on: February 10, 2016, 09:03:15 AM »

Hey all, its been a while!

Seems like summer is already here huh? Time to get the hours in on the sand.

Tides


Started with crack on a #4 mosquito drop shot. My son had a carolina rig with crack on a #4 mosquito as well. Broke my weight off early on and switched to a Jig with a 3" swim grub. Couldn't find a bite to save my life. My son informed me that he was having bites every cast (rocks ). Water was clear of weeds.



This was my sons first surf fishing trip. The day was spent working mainly on the retrieve, keeping that line tight! He was able to get in a few well formed casts towards the end.



He was stoked! After taking a minute to watch the end of the sunset, we reviewed the days events then headed back to the truck. He commented "I guess we're both fishermen now, huh Dad?" 



He will be turning 6 in April.



Went home with a skunk, have to say though... Still one of my favorite surf sessions for sure 

Stopped by Rubios on the way home, Taco Tuesday baby!

Till next time. Tight lines!

Saltwater Personal Craft Fishing Reports / Seeing spots in Mission Bay 082314

« on: August 23, 2014, 04:20:10 PM »

What a perfect morning for fishing.




It has been a while since I’ve fished MB, and even longer since I’ve caught quality, and quantity.

On the water shortly after 5am.




The first spottie I caught was the largest today. It absolutely destroyed my swimmie the first crank after it settled on the bottom. Good fighting fish. The rest of the fish grew smaller, until this almost legal player showed up to gobble up my spinner.



10 Fish in total.

Had a bail malfunction on my spinner setup, lost a $10 lure. 

So I watched my donation to the fish gods sink to the bottom, pointed the kayak back to the truck and left.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

Muchas gracias, San Diego.

Tackle stuff
30lb power pro, 12lb fluro
3/8 oz jig, 4” swim bait, and ˝ oz war blade
