very sad..

Made a recent trip down to Santa Cruz and decided to bring a rod with me and a Kastmaster 1OZ/bucktail combo. Ended up stopping at Davenport beach where I trekked down and decided to make some casts. Swell was big.. at least 7' and water was full of kelp. I decided to throw my Kastmaster anyway...

Nicely done once again. I’ll be in the area Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Not sure if you ever fish with anyone or want to show a southern Californian the ropes.

Sounds like a great time! I’d enjoy the opportunity if that was an invitation.

Made my way out to the mole on 9/22/24 for a couple days of fun on the island with my lovely girlfriend, most of which wasn't fishing. Smooth Ferry ride over from Newport with 3' swells at 16 seconds. After a day of exploring I was lucky enough to hit the mole, but no luck after maybe 100 casts...

Wow.. great size

Fished oceanside pier on Sunday. We showed up around 8:30am, roughly 2 hours before high tide. As we arrived we heard rumors of a 30" halibut caught. Sure enough, one of the locals fishing live smelt caught a behemoth of a halibut... Good sign! Started fishing the smelt Hayabusa Sabiki on my...

Wow! good work. Ill have to give that a try

I hope so too!

Fished balboa harbor on Sunday for the incoming evening tide. Fished with mussel and live smelt. Was able to manage 6 spotted bass up to 13.5" and 2 calico bass up to 10", in just 2 hours. Live smelt was the ticket but was able to manage 2 fish on Mussel.

Nice work! Was there yesterday. Saw 1 bonito chasing a bait ball but in rest, no bonito :( Tried the tackle box for them Ended the day with 15 quality maks

Agreed! Good on you for showing them the ropes.

Arrived at Oceanside pier around noon with the sun shining and wind blowing 6-10 knots. A lot of people were leaving as I was arriving (not always the best sign). Headed to the back at a chance for a bonito or some mackeral. Tossed a 20gram slow fall- Jigpara for a couple hours. With no reward...

Mine is a fishing machine! Always catches the jackpot too. I’ll be sure to post some pier fishing reports with her.

This month I witnessed the same thing at Oceanside pier. I was fishing near the bathrooms when I witnessed a lifeguard paddling out, thinking he was just training. Then 10 minutes later he was coming back with someone in full attire and boots on. The swell that day was 6’ and a couple waves...

A derby is always fun :)

I would be on board!

See you guys tomorrow as well. Should be there by 11AM to throw the Jigpara again.

Sadly, yes. I should have taken a picture. May have been a bit of an exaggeration but some fisherman had easily over 5 or 6 rods per person.

Got to the pier around 10:00AM for a quick session today, armed with 1 rod, a 15 Gram slow-fall Jigpara, and a 2” savage gear 3D manic shrimp (Carolina rig). I fished for 3 hours and managed 1 Mackeral off of the Jigpara. Saw people catching the occasional queen fish on jig, 3 or 4 mackerel, a...
