Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / 4/21 Unexpected Buzzer Beater

« on: May 27, 2023, 11:17:59 PM »

This one is interesting

Went down to an SD county beach with a friend to fish surfcasted baits on another grunion run. We got to the beach fairly early so we took some time to hang out and make rigs while people cleared out. Took a look at the water and it was very brown which I didn't like but surf was small and there was no grass or current. The surfers cleared out by sundown and we started fishing.

First couple hours were uneventful, and the grunion hadn't shown up yet so my buddy decides to walk up the beach to see if he can find any. He comes back telling me the beach is full of them just north of us so we decided to move.

We continued to not get bit even fishing where the bait is. Tide was starting to go out and we were losing hope so we decided to fish one last bait and pack up by 12:30.

We talked for a while without even paying any attention to our rods anymore when around 12:25 I get a blistering run on a bullet tuna head. Set hook on it and it feels like a hard fighting soupfin. Makes a good first run and is walking me up and down a bit. But after a few minutes the fish just would not give up and we were questioning whether or not this was a soupfin.

Close to 10 minutes in we realized this is no soupfin. This fish is hauling me up the beach and I'm struggling to get this thing turned. The first 20 or so minutes was almost a stalemate with me following it just trying to stay as straight as I could.

After the 20 minute mark I was finally able to gain more and more line on it. Prior to this any line I'd gain was lost instantly. Slowly but surely I inched this fish in until we finally saw it jumping just past the surf.

Once I got it close enough I just used the waves until my friend could get his hands on it and landed the fish, a tax man just over 7ft. Worked as quick as we could to get it unhooked and released but it was wrapped up pretty good from jumping a lot. My friend did get some good pictures of the process thankfully. Got it released and walked 3/4 of a mile back to where we first hooked it and packed up.

Been over a month and I still can't believe I managed to land that fish, or even hook one on a casted bait since it hardly happens anymore. 60lb mainline, 1.5ft of cable and 150lb mono rub leader somehow held up for over 40 minutes of long runs and jumping, and the mono was in it's mouth when we landed it. I don't see this happening again so I'm glad I didn't farm what's probably my only shot at that fish on casted for who knows how long.

I don't know if a tax man counts for the list since they aren't soups or sevens but this one was surfcasted so if it counts,

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / 4/20 Soup

« on: May 15, 2023, 08:07:27 AM »

Hit the beach for a solo mission on the first night of the 4/20-4/23 grunion runs. Decided to hit an OC soup spot that I almost never fish because the kelp gets very unfishable here especially later in the year. Had high hopes for a biter though since the water was finally into the upper 50s and it was a grunion run. Conditions looked good other than a little bit of salad was washing up but there wasn't much past the white wash.

Had my first bait in the water near the end of sunset. Soaked it about 30ish minutes before I checked for bait pickers. Bait was perfect still so I recasted. Only took a few minutes before my line went slack. Pick up my rod and it turns and starts peeling line. Set hook and it's obviously the right kind. Long runs, big headshakes, walking me up and down the beach and a couple jumps. After about a 10 minute fight I got my hands on her and slid her onto the sand. Got it unhooked, took a pic and released it within about 40 seconds.

Kept fishing for a few more hours with only one more bite that didn't get hooked a little after the high tide. Packed up around 12am.

Was stoked to finally get on a surfcasted soupfin again since it had been a while because I was busy playing with sevengills and prickly sharks. Happened about a month later than I expected the first one to bite but oh well.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / March Fishing

« on: April 22, 2023, 07:21:36 AM »

March and early April were pretty awful other than for sevengill fishing, but it was almost all dropped baits. Surfcasted baits had been very dead unfortunately.

3/4
Fished dropped baits for sevengills with a couple friends. Started fishing near the end of noon outgoing and we were bit quick. Fairly consistent action with 4 fish landed and some others farmed. Landed my fish just after peak low tide, smaller male around 7ft but fought hard and jumped quite a bit which was cool to see.

3/17
Fished dropped baits again for sevengills. There was a lot going on this trip so i don't really remember the order of things but in short, 13 sevengills were landed in the 24 hours we fished with some others being farmed. I caught 4, one friend also caught 4 and other friend caught 5. Definitely the most wide open bite I've seen as far as beach fishing goes. I did get one on a casted bait which was the highlight for me because everything had been eating dropped baits. None of the fish between the two trips were very big, all around 7ft with some a little bigger or smaller, but still cool to see that many around.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / January and February 2023 reports

« on: February 19, 2023, 09:38:45 AM »

Have been fishing non-stop this winter, both bait drops and casted baits up to 4 times a week. Neither has been very productive but i have managed a few fish this year. The casted soupfin bite died in november and sevengill fishing has been very very slow from december-january so i have been fishing for different species or fishing different areas such as sd bay.

1/20/23
Fished a PM high tide in sd bay doing bait drops with a couple friends. First bait is bit in 10 minutes but spits it. Drop again and I'm bit and hook it this time. We get it landed and it's a soupfin right around 6ft but pretty fat. Bit right at the high tide. Really pretty coloring, a very golden brown all the way around with almost no white underbelly, only soupfin I've seen look like this. Fished through the outgoing and my friend had a handful of other bites that spit the bait and hooked one that he farmed.

1/21/23
Went out the next night to a deep water spot with 2 friends to fish for something a little different on bait drops. Good conditions, no wind and small surf. Baits were soaking while  we were all talking and my friend's rod bounces down hard. He let's it eat for a little bit and sets the hook. He fights his fish for a couple minutes when i see my reel is upside down in the rod holder and then line is on the ground. Slack line bite. Run to my rod and wind into it and I'm hooked up too. I'm on heavier gear so we end up landing them almost at the same time, both smaller grade prickly sharks. My friend's being 5.5ft and mine around 7.5ft. Released them back to back. These fish are delicate and don't swim well in the surf so we swam out with them past the surf to make sure they got back out fine. My friend that i doubled up with had to leave after so i stayed for another hour or so with my other buddy and he landed another prickly as we were packing up, about the same size as mine. Successful night, went 3 for 3 all landing one each.

1/27/23
Went back to the same spot with the same species in mind. Similar conditions other than even smaller surf and incoming tide rather than outgoing and this time there was 5 of us. I get bit just before midnight and it feels a lot bigger than my pervious fish. Still made short work of it on the heavy tackle and it got to the surf quick, pricklies don't tend to fight very hard. We get it landed and it's much bigger than my first one, over 10ft and estimated at 500-600lbs. It had a lot of energy so we released it fast and it actually swam off pretty well. Two other bites after that but both spit the bait. Only one fish landed that night but the size made up for it.

2/2/23
Fished surf casted baits at one of my favorite spots in SD, not much to report other than a sasquatch sighting up the beach and a missed bite from some type of shark right at high tide.

2/10/23
Went back down to sd bay to fish dropped baits during the PM incoming tide. Had baits out an hour after dark and we were bit pretty quick. First fish hooked and landed was mine, another fat soupfin. Near the top of the tide around 11pm my friend gets bit and it's another good sized soupfin. Missed a few bites as well. Left after we landed the 2nd soupfin.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Halloween Biters 10/31

« on: December 10, 2022, 08:43:47 AM »

This was a trip i had forgotten about for awhile but it's my last report for now because things died down once november came around other than a couple missed fish here and there.

Got to the beach earlier than usual with my friend and it was fairly grassy. Had to recast every 10-30 minutes or so but we did our best to fish through it. Tide was outgoing till around 11pm so any biters we would have would be later in the night.

Grass was clearing up and around 9pm my friend's rod goes off screaming with the first biter of the night. Was hoping it would be his first soupfin but it wasn't fighting good so started to think leopard. I go to land it in the skinny water and sure enough it has spots. Depressing. Took a couple pics and sent it back hoping that didn't happen again.

Couple hours later i cast a whole small bonito but i decided to only flick it about 40 yards into the first set of waves since longer 80ish yard casts were producing nothing. About 30 minutes after peak low my rod gets hammered on the short cast. Fighting pretty bad so i was not happy because i thought it was another leopard. Once it's in the skinny it started pulling harder and turned into a soupfin, just a small one at around 5.5ft or so. Got a nice picture with it and sent her back.

One last biter on my friends rod that spit the bait on the low incoming tide, but no more fish.

The bite in general died after this for a while. Although lately i have had a few opportunities at fish, just missed the bites.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Low Tide Biters 10/29

« on: November 28, 2022, 08:45:53 AM »

Headed up to the north la area that has been producing for me with a buddy to fish casted baits. We got to the spot near the peak low, some salad on the beach but none in the water so it was very fishable.

Baits were out at low tide and since bait pickers hadn't been too bad i gave mine a longer soak. At about hour in to soaking i get a screaming run and then it stops. Wind into it to pick up the slack and it's still there. Fighting pretty hard and made a couple good runs before i got into the surf. After a few attempts to tail grab it i got the fish into ankle deep water and it's by far my biggest soupfin and probably the biggest I've seen in person. At least 6.5ft and ridiculously fat. Definitely pregnant so we took only 2 or 3 pics and sent her back.

Got another bait out and after another 40ish minute soak I'm bit again. My friend has never caught a soupfin and I've caught quite a few so i decide to hand him this one. Once it's in the surf i go to leader it and i was pretty surprised when i see it's a small black seabass. Kept it in the wash while handling it and got a not so good picture of my friend with it. Took a while to release because when a wave would come in, the fish would turn around and charge the beach with the wave. Finally got it to swim off after a few minutes but releasing sharks is much easier.

Soaked for a few more hours for no biters. Both fish came withing a couple hours of low tide once the tide started coming in. Also learned my lesson to never hand off a fish again.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Sevengill Soup 10/25

« on: November 10, 2022, 06:40:19 AM »

Got off work early enough to make the drive up to a ventura county spot with a friend. Got to the beach about an hour before dark, conditions were good other than a lot of salad on the beach. Tide was incoming so we took some time to throw all the salad high up on the beach so it wouldn't end up in the water again later.

Got done with cleaning the beach and baits were out by sundown. On my 2nd soak, i get a screaming run that only lasts for a second or two before it stopped. Bait was completely gone, so i put on another mackerel and casted again. 5-6 minutes later and another screamer. This one sticks and it's a definite soupfin. Get it landed after a few minutes to see it's my first male and a pretty good one for a male too. Couple pics and back it went

Couple hours go by with no biters until right as the tide started to shift to outgoing. My rod tip goes crazy but no clicker and then it stopped. Wind on it thinking it's just some kelp until it hits the waves and starts thrashing at the surface. My buddy goes out to leader it and it's a little 5.5ft sevengill and my first one of the year. No fight at all but still cool to see one so early before winter. Got a handful of pictures and then took a release video of it trying to eat me.

My friend wasn't really getting bit until he had one short bite during the outgoing, but nothing landed after the sevengill and then the salad got bad so we decided to pack it up and leave.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Biter on 10/8

« on: November 04, 2022, 08:44:56 AM »

Decided to head down south and got to the beach with my dad around the start of sunset and got baits out right as the sun was going down. Conditions seemed good at first, good incoming tide and minimal salad although that didn't last long.

I only had to wait about half an hour when at around 7:30 my bait gets slammed. Definite soupfin, but half way into the fight it gets lazy but heavy. When we get it into the surf we see why, it's wrapped up like a burrito inside a massive ball of kelp. We land the fish, take it out of the salad monster, took one pic and released it.

Seemed like we were going to be having a pretty productive night, but that was it. After a couple hours the salad started rolling in pretty thick so we packed up a little early and headed home.

I have quite a few other reports that are a little more exiciting than this one on the way as well so stay tuned for those.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / A Lot Of Fish Reports In One

« on: September 10, 2022, 02:21:28 PM »

Have been doing a lot of fishing lately and a lot of fish have hit the sand so this is going to be a number of reports in one. All the details for fish added to the list will be on a reply below

7/3/22
Fished dropped baits, went 1 for 3 on biters. Buddy landed a white around 9.5ft

7/9/22
Sd county beach, fished casted baits on an outgoing tide. No salad or wind made for a nice night. One biter for my dad at 10pm but it spit the bait, ran very sevengill like. Nothing after

7/10/22
Fished dropped baits with some friends, 3 white sharks in total but i couldn't get bit to save my life. All smaller fish under 7ft

7/11/22
Fished dropped baits with one other friend. 4 for 4 on white sharks, got 2 each. My 2 were 8ft and 8.5ft and my buddies were 7.5ft and almost 9ft

Night of 7/15 - morning of 7/17
Fished a beach on catalina island for a couple days dropped baits and casted. First biter is a big leopard on a huge bonito head and 24/0 circle hook. Next biter was a pretty big black seabass for me on a dropped bait in the early morning. Midday produces another seabass on a dropped bait for my friend and then i hooked another seabass on a casted bait but the hook pulled when the fish was less than 10 yards from us. Last fish was another seabass on my friends casted rod.

7/17
Got back home from catalina and another friend called saying he wanted to fish so i packed up my stuff and headed to the beach to fish dropped baits. Finally got something other than protected species and had a soupfin and 2 sevens hit the sand. I had a short bite from both species and 1 or 2 other fish were hooked and lost as well. Soupfin bites came on incoming tide and sevengills bit as it shifted to outgoing. Won't bother adding these to the list since they are not my fish

7/23
Fished solo, couldn't buy a bite

7/30
Dropped baits, buddy caught 2 goddamn bat rays and another buddy caught a leopard. Pretty embarrassing night

8/4
Casted baits at a fairly popular SD county beach with a friend, biters were non stop but couldn't get most of them to stick. My friend gets bit 10 minutes in to our first soak, short bite. Next bait does the same thing. Next biter is on my rod, fish pulled pretty hard and felt very soupfin like but it charged the beach and the hook pulled at some point after. I get short bit on my next bait. My buddy gets 2 more short bites before he finally sticks one and it's a nice leopard shark. No bites after that. All between 9pm and 2am, end of outgoing through the middle of incoming

8/5
Back to the same beach with my dad to fish casted. My dad gets 2 short bites instantly but they seemed like leopards. On his 3rd cast he gets a screaming run as he is putting his rod in the rod holder. Fish spit the bait and the cable came back tore up as well as the bait. Most likely a soupfin, nothing after that. All on outgoing tide

8/11
Made bait at oceanside pier and then headed back down to the same beach for the 3rd time in a row. My friend gets 2 short bites instantly and then we pack up and head to a beach barely south. No biters until about 5am when my friend gets a slow run that ended up wrapping in his pulley rig and biting through 100lb mono shock leader

8/13
Fished solo way up in north LA county. Get a screaming run on my first soak and it's the right kind. After a couple good runs against a lot of drag i beach a big fat soupfin. Luckily a bystander got some good photos and i released it. On my next 3 or 4 baits they all got short bit within minutes of casting. Switch to a rig with a j hook stinger and i stick a nice 5ft leopard within 20 seconds of casting. Left right after because reel took a bath in the sand, left them on a wide open bite

8/14
Went to another SD beach with a friend to fish casted baits, i caught my smallest ever soupfin at 5.5ft on my first soak and later into the night i caught another nice leopard. All my buddy could catch were thornbacks.

8/21
Went back down to SD again with a friend this time to cast baits. Got another bigger grade soupfin on my 3rd soak. Nothing other than that

8/29
Fished solo, caught kelp and moved up the beach. Caught a thornback and went home

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Protected Species Report 6/18

« on: June 27, 2022, 04:32:27 PM »

Since things have been slow around here I thought I'd post about something different than the typical soupfin and sevengills. Fished with one of my buddies that has a drone last weekend and had a pretty productive night but only with the tax man.

We got to the beach around sunset and setup while we waited for the crowds to thin out. By nine we had flown all our baits out and conditions were actually surprisingly good. Only 1 rod was getting affected by current and none of us caught any grass.

Just after 10pm my rod goes off screaming with the first biter of the night. The entire fight was me straight winding this fish to the beach until it was in the surf and we see why, it's a baby tax man. The thing wasn't even 6ft and it was on a 50w with 130lb braid so no fight at all. Kept it in the water and got it released, no pictures taken of this one.

About an hour later at around 11, my friends rod takes off with the next biter. This was a bigger fish and on lighter tackle so it was a longer fight. Once we got it in skinny water we saw it was another tax man at right around 8ft. Same process as the previous fish, kept it in the water and no photos but I got a release video of it

Sometime around midnight my friend gets another biter but the hook pulled shortly after he started fighting it. The cable wasn't chafed and the bait had no teeth marks on it so our guess is black sea bass.

Around 1am he gets another screamer and this was definitely a serious fish. He fought this one for close to half an hour before the fish started running north and his braid got cut off on something. Would have been cool to see this one because it would have been a really nice fish

Right as my friends gets done winding in from the cut off, his other rod gets bit but it drops the bait and as that one spits the bait, my rod gets slammed and then goes slack. I pick it up and wind as fast as i can to get tight with it and when I do, the fish makes a huge run against really tight drag and starts dragging towards the water. Thankfully my friend and my dad both grabbed me and helped me sit down to fight it since we had no harness. This fish took a really long first run against some serious drag so after that I knew this was going to be a double digit fish. Fought this one for a good 30+ or so minutes on the heavy tackle before we got it into skinny water. We couldn't believe the girth of this fish when we all first saw it. One of the fattest fish I've seen. Length on this one was somewhere around 10.5ft. Got some pictures of the release but they didn't come out very good at all.

Packed it up right after we released that one around 2 am. Probably left them biting but I had work the next morning and had already worked an 8 hour shift and went straight to the beach to fish. Total for the night was 5 fish hooked and 3 landed. First one under 6ft, next one about 8ft and the last one about 10.5ft. All on short drops too, 150 or so yards from shore. Surprised my dad didn't get bit but he has had a decent streak of luck so he can take a break.

But hopefully I'll have some more soupfins or maybe even a sevengill to post for you guys soon since you have all retired from fishing.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Soup Was Served On 6/11

« on: June 15, 2022, 03:25:48 PM »

Decided to make the drive north with my dad to northern LA county in search of some soupfin since the thought of going down to SD has been scaring me because of salad. Haven't fished this area too much, usually if I go this far north I'll go just a little further to Ventura county or even up to Santa Barbara for sevengills in the winter. Conditions seemed pretty good when we got there other than some salad in the water, but we ended up catching none of it throughout the entire night. Surf was tiny and for the first time in months I didn't have to deal with strong current.

I got my bait in the water just after the peak high tide and I see my dad is having to answer the same questions we all get asked anytime someone sees a person fishing. He finally is able to get set up and put a bait in the water as the tide starts to go out. We sit down for maybe 10 minutes before his bait gets hammered and his clicker starts screaming.

He picks up his rod and winds into it but it never really fought much and it took not even a couple minutes to get into the surf so I was thinking leopard shark. Once I went to grab it I saw those bright yellow eyes and long grey body so it being a leopard shark went out the window thankfully. Didn't fight much for my dad but this was definitely the craziest soupfin I've handled, imagine a soupfin flopping around the way a mackerel does on the deck of a pier. I got the hook out and took a couple pictures and released it. I never measure fish with a tape, the most I do is a wingspan across it's body so this one was an estimated 69 inch.

We sat the rest of the night without hearing a single click on either of our rods. Bait pickers were pretty scarce too. I was just glad the conditions were really good for once and not frustrating like they have been.

Fishing Talk / Do any of you farmers fish anymore

« on: May 26, 2022, 07:27:40 PM »

Has anyone shark fished lately? If so, how have conditions been for you? Haven't been down to the surf in SD since early april when i caught a soupfin but I've been hitting an OC spot, it's still producing fish, just not when I'm there haha and if someone else gets bit when I'm there, they farm it. Although lately it's mostly been on dropped baits. Conditions are getting bad though, kelp is back in the surf and current is still bad. Haven't hit LA county in a while but plan to go soon, current there earlier this year was nothing compared to what SD has had all year

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / 4/17 OC Bat Rays

« on: April 18, 2022, 08:21:53 AM »

Went to an OC beach that started producing some fish about a month ago for some morning fishing. Started fishing at the 2nd half of the incoming tide. Surf was small and almost no salad.

Had baits out by a little after 7am. Not too long into the soak, I notice my dad's rod get hit and the line slacks up. I pick it up and wind to set the hook and hand it to my dad. Fish made a good first run and walked him up and down the beach. After about a 20 minute fight on his spinner, he finally gets it into the surf for me to grab it and it's the biggest bat ray I've seen in person. I could barely even move it. I measure it with the rod and when I got home it came out to 57 inches wide. Got some pictures of it and slid her back into the surf.

Some guys next us fishing light line were catching fish after that, a couple croakers and small corbinas as well as a couple small bat rays. After they left a kid came by to fish the same spot and caught 3 more small rays.

Around 11 or 11:30am my dad gets another biter. Quick uneventful fight and it's another bat ray but not as big, somewhere in the 40-45 inch range. One more big run from a ray that dropped the bait right when he touched the rod. I couldn't get bit to save myself, my baits sat untouched the whole time.

No more bites after that and we left at 1:30. Wish something more interesting and toothier would have bit, but at this point we'll take anything after having such a slow start to the year. Fishing is definitely improving though.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / 4/2 grunion run surf fishing

« on: April 03, 2022, 10:38:36 AM »

First post here

Got to the beach a little before 8pm on an incoming tide. Conditions seemed nice at first, very small surf and not much grass on my practice casts, but after I put my first bait in the water is when i realized the current was pretty bad. 10oz sputnik was getting swept away. Did my best to deal with it though and finally managed to get a bait to stick. Not too long after, the grunion started making a showing.

Just as my dad and I got done talking about how we would probably walk away empty handed because of how pitiful the fishing has been this year even with all this bait around right now, I look up at my rod and watch it get hammered. Jump up and grab the rod, and after the first headshake I could tell it was a soupfin. After a hard but quick fight on 100lb casting tackle, my dad got a hold of her tail and got her onto the beach. Took the hook out, got some terrible pictures and released it. Didn't measure it with a tape but it was just over a wingspan so it was about 70-71 inches. Smaller bait was the ticket, half a mackerel. Took a break from the whole huge mackerels, whole bonitos, bullet tunas, and hand sized bonito heads and yellowtail heads with a 10oz spider weight.

Fished another bait after that and got bit again but this time it bit right behind the hook and left just the head. Big puncture marks and the head was sliced in half. One more bait after that to soak while we packed up and then we left.

Nice to get on one again, the only other fish I have caught this year was a big leopard shark on new year's day. After that, absolutely nothing. And I've been fishing 1-2 times a week every single week everywhere between San Diego and Los Angeles county. And I thought last year was bad.

Don't know how to insert a picture but if I figure it out I will put one in.

Surf: 1-2ft, tide: high, bait: mackerel, approximately 70 inches, county: San Diego, don't know the moon phase.
