Starting a new business in the investment/finance space and took my new business partner on a fishing retreat to discuss business details. Split the day with 90% working high-lo rigs looking for bottom fish and 10% throwing a metal jig looking for bonito. Arrived just after 7AM and fished until...

I keep a redundant set of basic tackle in three different places to guard against this. Which has happened to me once as well. So i have a set in my backpack and a one in my coat pocket.

Keep us up to date if the itinerary changes. I'm shooting for meeting up with you on Tuesday at Balboa! Safe and rewarding trip!

Exciting! Nice fishing and thanks for the report!

Nice fishing! Gorgeous sand bass! Thanks for the report!

Great fishing and always nice when you have the pier to yourself! I feel like too many anglers make assumptions that there are no fish to catch based of social media reports. Always worth going out and finding out for yourself!

Super cool rock fish! Congrats and thanks for the report!

Thank you for the suggestion. Yeah, I've got one of those! Just didn't bring it because I thought I would be bait fishing with my little nephew.

Awesome catch Snookie! That is an impressive catch!

Fished on Monday morning from 7:45AM-12:30PM. Used market shrimp on two hi lo setups. One long casting with size 2 Kahle hooks. Another shorter casting setup with size 6 baitholder hooks. I was casting off the end of the pier to the reef off the end. Did not see or detect any bait fish in the...

Beautiful leopard! Exciting catch! Congratulations!

I think the most common case is that people are unaware of etiquette and feel lost when it comes to finding the fish in the surf. There is so much real estate to fish but the majority of it doesn't have many fish. I could see until people learn to read the structure and find the holes that they...

So cool! Congrats!

I just bought a few jigs at our local Daiso store. So they were in stock there a couple weeks ago. Having run a specialty retail store I can understand why the tackle shop did that. The whole supply chain that serves those shops is not modern. It is filled with middle men that make it difficult...

Yes my dance teaching business has cut into my fishing time. Missed being there this year! What a small world indeed that you met some of my students there! Glad there was some anecdotal evidence that I have been using my time away from fishing productively :)

I see you've been hitting the Dana Jetty! Would love to meet you there sometime. I fished it only a couple times. I like that it is easier to walk than the Newport Jetty and seems less prone to snags.

Fished the end from 7:30AM - 1:30PM. Fished two hi lo rigs on with size 2 and 2/0 Kahle hooks the other with size 4 Kahle hook and a size 6 bait holder. Bigger hook setup on a long casting surf rod caught most of the fish on this slow day. Also intermittently fished a small hook sabiki setup to...

I’ve used them with mixed success at San Clemente and Cabrillo Mole in Catalina: it can basically be thought of as a scented artificial bait with almost no action. So it attracts with color and scent. You can use it small piece to tip a hook that has some cut bait already on it or use it on its...

With the exception of the dungies the rest can be gotten here plus we have sheephead, bonito, yellow tail, calico and sand bass...i think there are fewer people showing the type of shore rock fishing that is common for NorCal / Bay Area anglers but there are spots here for that. SoCal fishery is...

Nice halibut! Looks to my eye 20" or so...close to legal.
