I joined Mahigeer to visit Bart Hall Show at Long Beach this Friday. I only could stay there a few hours but it was fantastic though the convention reduced its size from the past. The show was starting at noon so we started with a quick lunch, nice and healthy one. You see Mahigeer donning his...

Belated happy new year all! Had a busy January to my other exploits but I managed my first outing to the mole yesterday. To sum, it was a very slow day and packed with anglers fishing shoulder to shoulder plus a family of sea lions making a havoc. Regardless of some difficulties, it was so nice...

It’s been a long while since I ventured into one of the piers. I am off duty this week and saw stars aligned with my old Japanese friend of mine available. I convinced him to join me at Avalon this Tuesday. Great weather, it was. Actually I felt too hot mid day. Winds were there but still in...

Sea Ranch is pretty fancy with private coves and beaches but there are a few that are open to public. Shell beach is one of them. I took my friend again out for a short morning surf session there. It was a full moon day and we fished up tide till noon. I made Carolina rig for him to test...

A friend of mine invited me and my wife to join him celebrating his birthday at Sea Ranch over past weekend. He was an avid anglers in past but stop fishing many decades ago when he took up on golf. He wanted to try it again with me after hearing about all fishing I’ve done. It’s been a long...

I went out on a sport fishing boat yesterday to fish the depth off Fort Bragg. I joined 8 other anglers on Sea Hawk from All Aboard Adventure departing Noyo Harbor at 7am. Due to the salmon closure some of the fleets there are targeting 400-500’ depth for the bottom species that have not been...

I got to Fort Bragg two days ago helping out good friends of mine who live there and lost a family member lately. My wife and I are house sitting taking care of their 3 dogs and 11 chickens. After getting settled, I hit the jetty. It was a great minus tide of -1.4’ at 9:30am. Overcast but no...

This is from Tuesday this week joining Ken and Hashem at Manhattan Beach Pier. We were to meet at Hermosa Pier only to find the end of the pier was closed to construction so we moved to Manhattan. Overcast day with occasional drizzles made the piers pretty void of anglers. We fished midday 12 -...

Last Friday, I joined Mahigeer san to fish at Cabrillo Mole. I arrived at the Catalina island around noon and fished till 5:30pm. It was not too windy but overcast. New moon tide was at its lowest around 3pm right in the middle of my fishing time. Most anglers there were targeting bonito...

I spent a day at Avalon this Friday. Weather was mostly good but with occasional winds and overcasts. A large tide with the low at 12:14pm with -0.6’. Mahigeer was there from the day before. I joined him at 7am and then fished till 5:30pm. The mole was not crazy crowded. Two others were casting...

As @EgoNonBaptizo put, this is yet another report of fishing at Avalon you have seen enough of. After a couple months of no fun and too much work and duties, I finally found some time this week to spend for myself. I chose to spend it at Avalon. My last fishing of 2022 was at the mole so it is...

It’s been so long (so I feel) since I last wetted my line. My work has taken over my time in past weeks but finally I found a free day. I joined Mahigeer to visit the mole for some fishing. He stayed over for lobster but I planed to leave making it as a day trip. After a beautiful ferry ride, a...

I don’t know why but I have not gone out to pay my visits to local piers but have been called to step into mountains lately. I visited a local SoCal stream to play with native rainbows and most recently managed to escape the heat into the eastern sierras. It was full of aspen foliage. So many...

I joined an annual pilgrimage of Mahigeer at Green Pleasure Pier for spiny lobster season opener over this weekend. Weather was pretty nice without strong winds though a bit cloudy most of the days. Moon was up phase quarter. For me it was a long 24 hours of straight fishing without much sleep...

@scaryfish had a kind suggestion to move our conversations on the subject matters here happened on my post on Noyo Jetty fishing last week. No need to continue it but thought it would be easier for us to find relevant info later at least. I cut-n-paste the related parts here. I do make my own...

A six pack boat that I booked for this morning was cancelled due to too few passengers so I scrambled to find another spot. With a help from the skipper of Kyndall Lynn, I got in Telstar for a half day bottom fishing. We fished shallows about 30 min north of the Noyo harbor pretty close to...

Reading up on Ken’s share and his 1982 article on bottom fishing at Fort Bragg got me interested in learning about the Sportfishing history here at Noyo harbor. I dropped by at Noyo fishing center, a local tackle shop to pick up some bait this morning so I asked the store owner about it. He...

Every time I come to Fort Bragg, I always try wetting my line at the jetty in the Noyo harbor. It’s a small jetty but pretty close to good kelp forest. They give an assortment of fish bites usually. I found two hours this morning that I could visit there. As I parked my car I was approached by...

Family duties took me to norcal at Fort Bragg over this week. Seeing that it is the last weekend of recreational salmon fishing in the area I inquired about local landing and managed to find myself a spot in a half day trolling outing last Saturday with Kendall Lynn. She is a sweet six pack...

Dorado has been a talk of socall salt anglers lately. This tropical species usually call warm water south of the boarder their home but alongside bluefin tuna they have migrated into the back water of Los Angeles vicinity where a half day party boat can reach. Boats are quickly sold out and...
