I’ve always just used sabikis. Nets are for cheaters 🤣 haha

Net? Is netting bait allowed there?

Not me, i wanted to but no go for me. The last time i went was pre-covid when it was called Fred Hall. No time to go and even less money available for new fishing gear anyway. Always liked their seminars though.

Sounds good!

Merry Fishmas everyone!

They are delicious, but so much work to prep and cook the little guys. Not to mention you must be very good with a sharp sushi knife, i am horrible and end up with a butchered mess of fish globs.

…and everything stopped promptly at 1pm. Totally shut off! Got a few dozen aggressive sardines for bait for future trips, and probably lost 3 times as many to the birds! The mean little sardines tore apart my sabiki and only 2 hooks left out of 6. They are only 4-5” but were fighting like little...

Got here about 11:30, beautiful day, minimal wind, calm seas, tons of various types of birds everywhere. Not many anglers Wide open sardines and wide open lizards on the floor. Got a dozen dines in a matter of minutes, super healthy lively fish, the birds were stealing them faster than i could...

Trying to work up the courage to make the 27 mile trek to Balboa…been contemplating for days now…Monday is my only day off 😒. I was supposed to be out of the house by 4:30am…procrastination and busy work, one thing leads to another, and now its nearly 10am. Hopefully i have a non skunk report...

Very nice!

Got out to the pier around 10am, the beach was packed to the gills! No parking anywhere as usual! After spending 40 mins finally found a parking spot on the street which cost me about $15 for 3 hours, much more than the Palm st lot! Anyhoo- it was windy, really windy! The water was nasty red...

Oooohh! Barracuda! And WSB? Sounds like an awesome day! Congrats! Looks like the fishing action is getting really really good!

as reported on Friedman Adventures this morning. Intriguing! Exciting! I’ve gotta find a way to get to the area very soon!

You are entitled to your opinion, however, they are within their legal rights, and have said they are going to be eaten, so I don’t see anything wrong with that. Anglers within their limits are not going to deplete the ocean, go after the big corporations with giant nets if you are that...

I haven’t had time to get out and fish lately, but I was in MDR yesterday- around 11am at the private MDR sportfishing bait dock, guys were catching very large spotties, barracudas less than 12”, other random fish, seemed fishing was really good and the customers got a bargain for their ticket...
