Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / When the shore pounds back.....
« on: June 15, 2016, 09:11:22 AM »
found the window of opportunity I like for jumping around the rocks of our coastline. Actually a day late, but still doable. Worked several areas throwing the LC FM 190, yes a 190 its big but they like it. Also threw the Salt Pro Minnow. Great conditions at grey light and had two big calicos hooked up in the first hand full of casts, but the hooks pulled on both. I bounced around to different area finding a lot of smaller calicos willing to bite the hard baits. The swell was building and made the usual rock hopping and wading out to spots difficult. I was knocked down a few times by rouge sets. Had to put the bass rod away and break out the long rod to get out past the sets. I hooked up on a few quality bass and lost a few more better grade to the pounding surf. Mad my last move and was slammed on the first cast. It didn't hook up and was getting hit on the retrieve until a small school of yellow started blowing up on my salt pro. hooked up. fought the little dude in and was knocked down again while waiting for a wave to wash the fish to me. It washed up and I was stoked to see my second Yellow Tail of the year on the beach. It was a day to remember. not so much for the fish caught, but for the pounding I took getting to them. A little sore and banged up but no worse for the wear.

Crab stuffed Calico on a bed of grass


One of the better Calicos that made it ashore.


Mr. Yellowtail that put me down.  Some bigger ones in the mix, but didn't take the bait.  Bad Pic my wet phone went on zoom and I didn't know it until the fish was released.


All fish CPR

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Local San Diego shore grind
« on: April 14, 2016, 06:52:05 PM »
Took a few free hours and a break in the storm to hit some Local San Diego shore line.  I wanted some beach Calicos as the new tin boat is being rebuilt.  The conditions looked great, small surf incoming tide.  wasn't sure where to go so I fell back on one of my old areas.  I left early and the rain was heavy all the way down the hill.  It broke as I arrived at the coast.  stoked on the conditions flat water I made my way to the shore.  walked and casted forever before I found some willing calicos  I was throwing my new team daiwa 1102 mhfs with the emcast 6000a long casting surf reel.  Bait was a daiwa salt pro minnow in sardine color.  the Calicos were going off.  caught a bunch of them but nothing too big.   I looked for better water and found some real fishy looking stuff.  I blasted out a great cast and as soon as the bait hit the water a fish blew up on it.  I didn't even have a chance to flip the bail before it took line. I finally got the fish to tight line and to the rocks.  I about crapped when I saw it was a Yellow tail.  And a good one.  fought it and ,made my way to the edge to grab it when a wave tumbled it and it was gone....Ohhh my god..   Kept at it and another real long cast.  two cranks in I'm on.  thoughtnit was the bass I was after,  but the yellow fins proved me wrong.  I tried to baby the fish but the waves kept taking it into the reef.  I waited for the set to come in and washed it up on the rocks.  BOOOOM.  Goal met.  Yellowtail from the surf.  What a day.  Not a huge fish but a nice size.  Now for a big one...
bombing the big rod


Almost wide open on the little calicos


the Yellow.  so stoked.

Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / December bass are chewing
« on: December 20, 2015, 03:15:08 PM »
Jonny and I hitched a rid with my buddy James on his 22ft Skeeter for some local Calico Bass fishing before the front moved in. Started in Point Loma looking around the inside kelp for some weedless bites.  Nothing going on,  but as we moved through I found a big bait ball  with fish on the meter. I dropped down a 1.5 oz lead head on a big pancho 6.5in swim bait and was bit on the sink.  We had a good pick on the smaller grade 2lb calicos before we decided to run north.  we headed up to la jolla but the kelp is pretty much gone right now, and continued up to sea side and leucadia.  We found a great bite on the weedless in the small patches of kelp left.  I know we could hae found some BIG ones had we fished more reef structure.  James likes the weedless bite so we spent most of the day fishing it.  Front came in early so we bolted.  Damn I need to find me a boat...If you like bass fishing they are chewing good right now...

jonny had a nice 5lb pound fish..on the 7.5 grumpy weedless

Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / Hard work finally paying off....
« on: August 15, 2015, 12:58:16 PM »
Jonny and I fished our last SBS bay series tournament for the season.  We pre fished one day the week before to see if we could locate the spawners.  We did.  So we had a game plan and stuck to it all day.  We basically circuit fished all the spots we knew held fish.  Alot of boats weould be in the areas so we kinda had to bounce around.  We had a decent limit early so we tried some new stuff we thought might work.  It didn't so back to basics we went.  It was pretty tough trying to upgrade late in the morning/afternoon.  We hammered the 13. 7/8 in fish and had a handfull of legals we couldn't upgrade.  We then mad a move to find my buddies fishing the spot we wanted.  (where they lost two BIG ones)  we bounced just outside to stick a 2.36 fish for our first upgrade and big fish for the tournament.  Keeping at it we then upgraded two more times by just oz's.  I ended up with the token big flat bass, and probably 90 to hundred shorts.  Felt good going into the weigh in, until we saw josh and ryans bag.  and dennis and eddie putting there fish in a bag..  but then it all happened.  first out of the money,  4th place,  we had more...  ohh boy.  second big fish went to ty and tj Ponder.  we had a bigger fish..  It was al lining up..   Ended up with third Place, and big fish for 1100.00 bucks and a cousins raze rod and Diawa tatula hd reel.  plus a pile of other goodies...Wow I coldn't be more stoked.  on the podium and big fish...... 8)  Pow.. We have been on the move and hope the momentum stays as we are in great contention for the flex region points and championship tournament.  We also were able to secure 2nd big fish our last inshore tournament...  Funny how fun fishing you get wrecked and tournament day its a grind.  but makes it a lot of fun yet frustrating.
I can always find a flat bass when I'm not looking for them..  We bounced and released it.


Doing work on the battle wagon..The live well pump had a wire break and had to make a repair in  the channel.


8.08 bag for third.


So stoked..finally got some wood....


Money.......



Hope to get in the championship.. we will know for sure sept.  We should be good as we are in third for Flex region, which is inshore and bay combined.
Ohh yeah and almost all fish came on the A rig flash mob style with blades on four arems and 3.5 in. sierra slammers blue shiner...

 Jonny and I fished the SBS Mission bay tournament Sat.  We started out of Dana landing at 05:00.  We saw some lightning way out west as we made our way out of the channel.  I took note of it but it was way away from us, so we headed south to do our thing in Point Loma.  It was still dark and I didnt want to head to the IB pipe, so we stopped on a reef I like and started to work.   We were throwing 5inch and 6in big Pancho swimbaits with 1.5 oz war heads.  It didnt take long to get a bite going.  First fish second cast was a 5.54 calico which took second big fish for the day.  lots of smalls before we found a few more good ones on the spot.  Then here comes a storm from the south right up the coast line.  we kept a close eye on it as it was firing like mad. As we set up for another drift on the spot the rods and antenna started to buzz and pop.  I told jonny to pull the antenna and I dropped the rods just a  strike plowed just off the bow.  we fired the boat up and headed south under the storm to clear weather behind it.  a few boats headed north and took a beating.  We had strikes just yrds from the boat with instant head rattling lightning.  We fished around the storm and went back to our spot but it was off.  Probably due to the lightning.  Hit up some deep and shallow kelp for good bites but nothing to stick.  Jonny got one to stick and cull a small fish out.  Then another storm from the SW chased us off there.  We headed inside 6ft of water and fished some nice beach we like.  There were no swells or breaking waves all along PL.  It was nice to see.  the bite was real slow though.  We missed our opportunity before the storms.  Then all of a sudden a rouge set showed up.  first was ok steep we moved out and south to less breaking water. second stood up in front of us and I had to wait and take the white water.  I gunned it to get us out as the last two waves pushed us way back in.  but the third was too quick and no side door was open.  I just moved into it watching the top getting white and not breaking.  to steep and shallow jump it I waited for the break and punched through the top taking a great saltwater bath over the bow.  We had about a ft. of water in the boat and I jammed out to get clear and clear the deck..  Yee Hawww.  It was getting interesting now.  The main storm of the day was there and we ran for La Jolla,  just to be chased all the way there and get wrecked while there.  We finally called it when the rods went off again and had a strike a few yards in the kelp..We headed in to the bay  to try and cull a few 14.5 in fish.  almost did it a couple times but the rain was too much and we headed in around 1 to weigh in.  Unfortunately the two 14.5 in fish hurt us in the total weight,  But I got second big fish  Crazy day but so epic and fun.  I loved it. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

The approaching storm..



The Bag that should have been..lol

yep hands and feet were water logged

Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / Quick run out four solid BF
« on: July 09, 2015, 08:59:13 AM »
Went out with my buddy Thomas and Freddy to see what was going out there.  Made a quick stop for some nice big dines out of San Diego.  Ran out to the 9 to look around for some tuna.  We found a small paddy early (trash can lid)  I made a cast on it with a bait wraps mint squid surface iron.  got bit on the second cast but didnt stick.  thomas dropped a bait back for a long soak and was on.  we all pinned baits on but had to chase Thomas fish down a bit.  We found it it was tail wrapped.. We got the fish in and had a pod of porpoise roll through so we slid in front of them and long soaked baits.  Freddy and I got bit and had a double of nice BF.  fished around the area for a while, lots of fish rolling and metered.  metered fish from 300 to 60 ft.  No biters in the mix. found another pod and slid in front for Freddy to hook up again.  Wind was up and Freddy only bought to 7lb bags of ice.  So we decided to head in ad fish all the way.  Stopped on some birds,  and hit the whistler for some yt but no love we decided to make it a short day and were back at the dock by noon.  The BF were not line shy,  Braid to 6ft 35 and 40 lb flouro leaders.  Fun time.  Need to get out again soon...
Water was 69,  wind and white caps  lots of porpoise.  not alot of birds.  big fish rolling...All fish 40 to 42 lbs.

Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / San Diego Bay SBS tourny
« on: June 06, 2015, 09:29:56 PM »
Well Jonny and I hit the San Diego bay only tournament today.  We were not looking forward to this one as we dont usually fish SD bay for spotties.  I know a few spots they hang but I dont like flipping in the marinas and docks.  We bit the bullet and headed out this morning with nothing but low hopes.  At 5am the horn sounded and a pile of boats headed full speed to the shelter island marina.  We made a turn and headed to a different location.  We flipped the pilings with jigs and creature baits.  It didnt take long to get bit.  OOOOh   get the net... and its a 3lb sandy..  then a 2lb calico, then a 4lb sandy, 2 lb calico and so on.  only two spotties we got were dinks 13 in...Couldnt believe it, but fun fishing non the less.  we decided to make the move to the marina.  Once we got in there there were boats in every fairway and slip.  We gave it the old college try and were not feeling it.  It wasnt our bag so we said lets fish what we know and get em.  The docks were left behind as we bolted to a spot I know spotties are in and I like to fish.  first cast first legal of the day.  a pile of shorts and then the second legal..   Hopes are high and the stoke is on..  we make a few more passes and decide to run and gun the spots that are similar.  First cast on the new spot and bump and its on.  big one.  but when the drag on my revo toro 50 gets pulled,  I know its the wrong kind.  funny  the fish ran hard on the surface cutting the water with the line.  Two passes and a few time I couldnt reel into the fish we see color  and its a big old butt.  We were gonna net it and let it go but Net wasnt an option.  gaffed it in the head and its dinner.  Long story short we ran and fished that whole bay to the keyes and back.  we finished our day at our spot we caught the legals and jonny stuck two more good legals.  I had two more legal butts that we released.  Only managed 4 fish bag and an 8th place finish out of 17 teams.  Cant complain we caught alot of fish and alot of big ones just not the money fish.  Jonny learned alot as I made him run the boat all day.  And help make the big calls.  I still dont like SD bay for spotties.  But alot of big teams blanked and Im stoked we made it work..

Jonny and the average turd roller.  wish they counted..


ohh and I got a Nice butt on the A rig..  Yep the all day rig..


We caught alot of good fish today and need to take a minute to enjoy them on game day..but every second counts and we forget....

Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / MB bay fun.
« on: March 27, 2015, 10:57:16 AM »
Jonny and I took the little boat out for a bay test run as well.  had a great spottie bite on the regular old A rig and spinner baits.  jonny had a nice surprise fast winding his spinner bait in a 24in Vina.  bite wasnt what it could or should have been, but still fun.  the boat is going to be a bit of a pain when the wind picks up as it drifts pretty fast.  My style is to stick the area apart to find the right bite...





pow...
