Congrats on the nice session...Josh! You got the hali bite dialed in on the bay.

Grassy @$$ I feel like I've put the time in, and my efforts are being rewarded, or I'm jus a lucky mofo and keep finding the needle in the haystack

Damn! Was gonna say the same thing, but add in a comment about him keeping his shirt on. Hahahaha!

 

Dave would be so proud seeing you pound that blade bait.  Nicely done again Rasta.  Next rough water on the big pond and I'll have to head out to a "Specific" area I was looking to try.  I'll bring a few blades with me just in case.   

My pops and bro are takin their church friend out on Saturday, lemme know if you want me to put the 1st legal hali on your boat

Saltwater Boat Fishing Reports / Afternoon Flattys 12/1 & 12/2/18

« on: December 04, 2018, 08:48:10 AM »

Took pops out Saturday afternoon to see how the post-storm bite was. Got there lil after 1 and fished til sunset. Bite was on from the 1st cast we started slayin the bass. Bit or hooked up on every cast for the 1st hour and a half.



Bite slowed as we finished our 2nd drift. So we reset and picked em off through the 1st 2/3rds of our drift. Pops says lemme get one of them zman grubz I was slayin em on last week. Told him to put a heavier jig head on to weed out the dinks. Wish I hadn't told him that lmao he stuck 2 chunky definitely legal grumpy bass back to back and then gets crushed by the right kine! His Berkley lightning rod was seriously bendo and I see his line fly off his diawa baitcaster and knew he was in for a battle! After a few runs I see deep color and the tell tail white mouth open headshakin, doormat pops! Grab the gaff, he swims her along side the boat and I go for the stick, hit her hard right in the head but got all gill plate and she didnt like any of that lol!  She shoots back down pi$$ed off and not wanting anymore of the gaff! After a lil back and forth he gets her back up and I sink the gaff right behind her head! After a few high fives and hugs, we get her in the well! Made a few more drifts tryin to one up my pops, Caught a few dozen more bass b4 the sun dipped and we did the same.




Been a few decades since my pops got a legit doormat, though his pb is almost 3 times this big (38lbs from MB in '84) he was stoked to out fish me and put some meat in the freezer! Ended the day with about 85 bass between us pretty much even split and my pops' Hali.

My bro was hella jealous he couldn't get out with us so I took him and his buddy Josh out after church on Sunday. Launched lil after 130 and went str8 back to the AO from the day b4. We started off sticking em right away again. Lots of doubles on grumpies and my bro got a 15" hali within the 1st 30mins. We made 3 passes through the zone b4 we switched it up and went a lil further towards the deeper water. We targeted the ledges between 16-22' lookin for bigger spots, maybe a sandy and of course HalleBerry my bro was the 1st one to get the right bite, but it turned out to be the grumpiest bass of the day.





We all caught a few that were round legal size b4 we reset the drift and continued to put spots on the boat for 2 more passes through the zone. As the tide peaked and the sun started to get low we made one last reset on the drift we started out on and after my bro and His buddy doubled up I made a long cast and said alright boys, we're jus about out of time. They started to get $hit put away and get ready to dip back to the dock. I get slammed half way back to the boat but some how it missed the hook. They're like one last cast? Of course I can't leave after a solid bite so we all make one last cast. I get absolutely demolished 3 cranks in, as soon as I layed into this fish I knew it was her! They're both like no phukin way! Seriously! Yeeeeppp it's her boys get the stick! My bro grabs the gaff, but when we get color I'm not sure shes gaff worthy, grab the net bro jus to be safe, he scoops her up and sure enough shes a solid keeper! Not as big as my pops' from the day b4 but I'll take it!





Nothing like some booty and a gorgeous sunset 😎

Back to back 80+ fish days and legal flattys, not a bad way to spend the weekend 😊

Took the boat out again yesterday with my pops and my lil bro joined us. Huuuuuge tide swing in the am, so we launched around 9 from basically the parking lot. Started off a lil slower than last week but we started to pick em off here and there on our 1st drift. And continued to scratch out spotties between 14-18ft on swimmies and underspins. My bro and pops put a few doubles in the boat.





But I put the twins in the live well!




Ended the day with about 80 bass and my 2 Hails for the boat!

Not a bad way to spend a black Friday, hope everyone had an awesome Turkey day.

Nice catching Rasta.. Didn't recognize you with your shirt on.

After the 3rd time 2 girls on jetskis made a B-line str8 at us to  "ask what we were catchin" I put it back on. 😏

Hahahaha!! Well looky here...

Jus stopped by to show off my booty 😋🎣🍑🐟

You made Dave proud by using the underspin.  Nice work Rasta and pops!

Underspin is the juice, 36.75", 33", 32" butts all on the underspin this year! And I got a 9lb+ green bass on it last spring at my auntie's... let's jus say I've got a lil bit of confidence in that lure 😏

Been a minute, I've been around hit the surf a few times since the last time I posted. Fished my aunties lake, almost all of the summer/early fall Sunday's.

Anyways... boat was outta commission since june pops got her running right last weekend and took her out while I was at a concert, he and my brother got into a decent bass bite in the bay. I took him out yesterday, basically no tide from 9-2. Told him its was either gonna be really good or horrible... 1st cast we double up with spotties. Well they were biting to say the least. Ended the day with ~100 bass between us, 2 Mack's and I got a lil vina.













And some taco meat 😅🤣😂😊



Felt good to get back out and pick back up where I left off 😏

Now if I can get a grinner to bite this week I'll be super-stoked 🤙

Updated.  I did it real fast, so I may have made an error, but you guys have no problem telling me.  LOL

Yay!  I made the short list!

I should be at 8 as well, you never put my 1st soupie from June 2016 on the list. 6/9/16 74" female 11:03pm casino B)<==*~~

Not to talk sh!t but I didn't exactly make a report of my 1st soup but I posted a pic on here for sure when you were talkin sh!t about it when Mike brought it up, that I had caught one, the same night I believe bihn caught while he was fishin with Mike. Willis and I were north of them @casino. I've tried searching for the post but I can't seem to find it in my post history. But yeah I should be at 9. But whatever the forum owner can make his own #s apparently...

Edit: so after goin thru all 23 pages of my posts I guess the pic link never posted... i know how many sharks I've caught and that's all that really matters to me   




I'd say you can check FB but you'd have to unblock me to do that

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Soups a soup, Put it on the Board! 6/25/18

« on: June 26, 2018, 04:20:43 PM »

High tide lined up with last light. Seemed like it would be a good time to soak some baits. My brothers buddy was at the house, saw me loading up and had his rod in his truck so I grabbed a couple extra macks and he tagged along. On the sand 30mins b4 sunset and had baits in the agua 20mins later with only a few stragglers still surfing. Within an hour I had a legit knock down and reeled up a shredded head with all the meat bit clean off. Good sign but sucks she missed the hook. Toss out some filet mignon and within 5mins I get what appeared to be a bass bite that managed to pull the weight loose. Pick the rod up feel some tuggin and definitely a fish swimming with the bait and weight so I swing and sure enough there's something wiggling on the hook, felt like a pissed off decent sized bass. Crank it in and it comes rollin out the suds and white wash and my buddy Alex says, "Oh it's a smooth hound!" I go to grab it and say damn it's got some big eyes, and nose and wtf? Those are teeth bro! That's a soup dude! Top ramen edition. But hey target acquired, I wish I woulda took a shot of the 10/0 in his mouth but I got it out pretty quick to keep from completely breaking his fragile little face and jaws  😳


Lil bugger definite had some lil prickly future fangs 😅



Grinner Grinage



I was pretty stoked and hopeful that his mom was in the area! We rebaited a few times and got a few critter and a decent sharky bite when Alex's rod starts screamin and he's on with what seemed to be the right kind but I think he mistook the initial wing slaps for head shakes! But he was stoked to be bendo with his first surf fish no matter the type! He proceeded to get his ass handed to him for the better part of 15mins b4 I managed to grab his 1st surf bat!



Not huge but a solid 40" surf bat! We soaked couple more soaks until 1145 and headed for the hood with only a couple more questionable bites.

Good to see they're breeding around the county, hopefully next sesh I can run into her mom and talk about her daughter's new lip piercing 😉

If Josh was there he would have dove in the surf and grabbed it with his teeth. 

We have noticed that the soupie have been biting at the low too. 

Lmao nah not for Tom I wouldn't 🤣😉

I can day that I've never lost/not landed a shark that I touched though, Mike's last soup did give me a gnarly shark burn and smack my wrists together a few times trying to drag it up the slope but aye, she got photo'd 😏

Well with the sub-stellar surf conditions as of late and semi dead grinner bite, along with my Lil truck being outta commission the past few weeks, I’ve been getting the boat salty close to home 😎

Took pops out a few weekends ago and put a couple legal flatties in the boat! Along with easily 60+ spotties and a few Macs mixed in





My brother couldn’t go that Saturday so I took him out the next day, after church and put him on a legal flatty of his own!



Word got out and I took Dre and his wife out the following sat 4/14/18 to see if the Flattys were still eatin! We slayed the bass and had farmed a few solid fish before it happened! Dre’s wife stuck a solid spotty and he doubled up as she landed hers. As I was unhookin her fish so he could get a pic I let my underspin jus fall to the bottom and as soon as I went to finish my retrieve it gets absolutely destroyed! Instant massive head shakes followed by some of the craziest runs my lil size 25 smoke inshore has ever seen! There were times durring the melee I wasn’t sure what it was! It had power like a bat ray and the attitude and force it pulled with was unbelievable! After several blistering drag sizzling runs I finally see her bout 6 ft under the boat and I still am in awe of how big this thing is and as my eyes actually relay the message to my brain that this is a giant hali my heart and knees almost give out! But I gathered my self after a few HOLY SH!TS & OMFGS I get her pointed the right direction and as she’s about to break the surface Dre sticks her wit the perfect gaff shot right in the gills! Woooooooooows were heard in point Loma I’m pretty sure 🤣😂😅 along with a few Phuck yeahs and a few other of my favorite swears and animalistic wooows, fist pumps and high 5s!

My new PB Halibut!!! 36.75”







I was beyond stoked to say the least!  We fished a few more drifts and caught more bass and called it a helluva day!

Took last weekend off to eat some of the bounty 😊😋  corn flake battered and fried in avocado oil! Fam loved it and I destroyed 7 tacos for good measure!





Took a half day yesterday and took my cousin who hasn’t seriously fished with me in over 8 yrs 😏 and his GF out to see if I couldn’t show him how to fish again and try and put them on a couple Flattys. His GF got on board 1st with a short.


Not to be out done my cuz hooks one shortly after and I couldn’t let them have all the fun and stuck a short as he was crank in his in for the double!



They were stoked even though they weren’t keepers. We made a few more drifts and the wind picked up a bit but it wasn’t too bad yet. On our 4th drift as were nearing the reset zone my cousin sticks a nice spotty and as he’s askin for a pic I get crushed! Instantly I knew this was the one! Hali cuz! Oh yeah? Ziiiiiiiiiing!!! Rods doubled over and she’s pissed! Yeah cuz bigggin!!! He tosses his spotty back and grabs the net. NAAAAH that ain’t gonna work! Ok gets the gaff, I’ve never done this before. wtf! Aight jus stick her in the head when I swim her along the boat, after a few runs she’s right at the boat, ok stick her cuz! 1st try he misses and she gets pissssssed and darts back down! Holy phuck! Ok that sucked lol he grabs the net and as I bring her back up he tries to scoop her and she absolutely destroyed the net and shoots thru the bottom of my POS bass net that’s 10+yrs old! Gawddayum cuz this is a cluster phuck! I run the rod thru the whole in the net and tell him he better stick this bitch next time or I’m throwin his ass in after it if it gets off! 😅🤣😂😅😣 after what seemed like forever I finally wear her out again and he manages to stick her right behind the head! I was so relieved I didn’t scream or do anything but hug my cousin and thank the fish gods we got her in the boat!

Not a PB but definitly the most stressful hali I’ve ever landed!







We gave it another hour or so before we got hungry and headed to the hood!
Well the big bays been good to me lately and shes keepin me busy and well fed!
