Looks a bit chilly out there, I was home trapping squirrels.

It wasn't that bad, except for when the wind would gust then you'd get that chill that would blast through you.

I lol'd when I typed up the title. Thought it'd be funny. Surf should be calming down now, hopefully the grinners are more receptive.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / A soup and a 7 (06-04)

Was the target... but the surf only offered a bat.

Bait: mackerel
Tide: rising

Binh bested me tonight with the lone fish caught, a 46" bat. I did get a ripping run, but the bait was dropped once I put the reel in gear. Many baits were chewed on, but that was it. Rough surf and very surgy, still fishable though. Killed time looking through kelp stalks for brittle stars.

Here's one most will never cross off their lists, if it is even on their list...

Tackle Talk / Re: Big BFT gear??

Planning on getting in on the action while we have it. Here's my plan

40lb: Tib'd 112H + 20-40 Californian
50lb: Saltist 40H + 30-50lb Terramar
60lb (in case the big boys want to play): 114HL + 80lb roller rod

Definitely missing a solid 60lb live bait rod in my arsenal

Probably bring along a 40lb setup for playing with butterfly jigs, but if the bruisers show up, sticking to live bait so I can use 3/0 heavy circle hooks to avoid getting chewed off.

So looking forward to this summer. Just saw a 172lb bluefin was speared 5mi from Dana Point!!!! Can anyone recall BFT that big this close to shore? Still waiting for the first cow tuna to be landed in local waters in a long time.

I'd bring a 30# outfit just in case you encounter a smaller grade of tuna and they're line shy.

Went through what little gear I have left and my heaviest outfit is a 7' rod rated 30-80 and a Baja Special. I guess I need to do a little shopping

Good numbers of big BFT (70lbs+) being caught locally, what does your quiver contain to go after them?

I spend too much $$ on YT fishing and surf fear, not enough on the big tuna. Was curious as to what everyone has.
