    Hermosa 10/17 & 10/18

    Hit the pier over the weekend on both days. Got there early in the morn on Saturday and set up around mid-way. The water temp was low 70's, the tide was coming in, conditions looked right, except live bait was hard to come by. The sardines would show up sporadically, but just enough to keep...

    Collapsible Pier Net (looking to buy or make)

    Hi all, I’ve been looking for a Frabill pop net, the kind you can twist in a smaller diameter. I’ve searched far and wide on the interwebs to no avail. Evidently, Frabill discontinued them some time ago so Im out of luck. Does anyone on the board have one gathering dust in the garage that...

    Late Report - Hermosa 9/13

    Since the lock down eased up, I made a point of limiting my fishing to the beach or jetties early in the mornings to avoid the crowds. But in that time I've come to one inescapable conclusion: I hate sand and my knees can't take the pounding from jetty hopping. So it's back to the gal who...

    Hit Hermosa early Friday morning. I tend to fish the pier, but with the pandemic, I thought it would be prudent to stick to the surf where I could keep my distance from folks. Conditions were really nice - moderate swell, right temps, incoming tide, nice big holes that looked fishy. I was...

    3rd Grip Pole Holder

    Hey all, I managed to snag a couple of 3rd Grips off of ebay recently. I thought (I think) they're not in production anymore so I jumped on it. Had one years ago, but it got lost in many shuffles. Not repping, affiliated with, or schilling for the seller. Just thought this would be of interest...

    Hermosa Pier 9/16 & 9/23

    Just a quick report of my last two outings: 9/16 - Set up mid-pier as usual and got to work trying to get bait. The sardines are mostly a no-show these days, not sure why. Luckily, one can still scrounge up a few smelt here and there. I managed to get 3 or 4, pinned them on to my bigger rods...

    Hermosa Pier 8/26

    A quick report: Got there Sunday morning and parked myself about midway. Bait was tough to come by - only managed to scrounge up a couple of smelt, small ones at that. Fortunately, one of them was good enough to scare up a halibut. The 'but was only 19 inches so back he went to grow some...
