Snookie's styrofoam idea would work great. But I have been using cheap kitchen sponges for a long time. You just wrap the sabiki around the sponge and embed the hooks in it as you go. It only takes a minute to setup the next time you use it. Very handy.

On Saturday, 6/7, the mackerel action at Stearns Wharf was good in the evening.

Sorry I missed that ^ Thanks.

https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/CNRA/bulletins/3dfc604 Looks like one of my favorite fish is off the menu for now :cautious:

Holy smokes! Nice catch!

That's insane! Reminds me of Australia, where they catch marlin off the rocks in some places.

I am so sorry, Frood :cry: We lost my dad in 2021 to a terminal illness. I wish you to have good friends and loving family around you to help you get through this difficult time.

Sorry the fishing so slow. Hope you have a nice visit to the Goleta area!

Bump! Any plans to fish Goleta Pier? :)

It's looking like rain for SO CAL on 3/10 through 3/13. But I might be able to make it down to the wharf for some fishing if the weather permits. ... I just realized you're coming next week. Nevermind this week's forecast :p

Any plans to hit up Santa Barbara area, let us know.

I fished Goleta Pier on 1/20 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The major action was a big school of jack mackerel, of which I caught a few on sabiki, and a keeper rock crab in my net. There were a dozen pelicans diving for the jack macks, which was cool to see in winter.

Projects around the house pretty much made 2024 a fishless year. I went fishing 10 times for a total of 11 hours and 10 fish. :ROFLMAO: Hoping for more and better fishing in 2025!

Happy New Year, everyone! Have a fishy 2025!

At some point, the following web site should start blowing up with reports. The owner does a herring spawn blog every winter. https://thelostanchovy.com/blog/
