Went out for a quick trip to pier J to see how things are going on Sunday. Got out there at 630 and fished until 11 about. Honestly didn't see too much going on. I was throwing small 3.5" plastics and got a few small sculpin, 1 lizard fish and a small sandbass to show for it. Didn't see much...

when I log in through a desktop (firefox) I don't see any popups or much else ads for that matter. However, when I log in through my phone, it's pretty awful. I remember someone mentioning that you can adjust the settings for safari to reduce the amount of tailored ads we get when using the...

Where did you get the aftermarket handle!?!?

My guess is juvenile bocaccio AKA salmon grouper

Prices are often affected by raw material shortages too. Plastics raw material suffered a shortage not too long ago and it might finally be reflected in pricing now. However, we all know that once prices get bumped up, it seldomly gets reduced unless the item is being discontinued. The Daiwa...

pilchards are same as sardines. Mouth is different from sardine to anchovy. To me, sardines have a more shad/tarpon like mouth vs anchovies have the filter feeder style head of an extremely large mouth and blunted nose.

Looking at the head, I know for sure it's an anchovy...my guess is deep body anchovy

I'm no expert, but it looks like a european green crab. Kelp crabs are more slender looking I believe. Alarming if it is a green crab.

I hate to say it, sounds/looks like another dog beach/swim area that is not fisher friendly....

That's such a huge body of water, it's difficult to fish without renting a boat, especially if you are going for the stripers. If you do find yourself an opportunity to get a boat, slow trolling plugs worked well. I had a friend that was very successful while using AC plugs. Their best fishing...

that was the first place I remembered fishing. My first catch was a lowly sand dab, mid pier off of some shrimp. That's also where i went back to fish again when I got back into pierfishing later on in life. Wish the pier held up better, but I have a lot of great memories of that place.

Local tackle shops should have squid “snaggers” too. Think sabiki but with small glow squid jigs. That should work wonders!!

Hello! So what do you intend to do with this new surf rod. ODMs are great rods, but I'm pretty smitten by my SP coastal and my Team Daiwa Surf. I used to plug a lot from the sand.

curious on where you got that blue netting? thanks!
