Nice! My bro’s been fishing perch again, since the crappie spot has gotten too crowded. He gave a couple of slab sized perch to my parents.

It looks like Imperial Beach has a similar plan.

Any new news on the Pro Rockets? Been looking at them again. I really want a Chrome Pro Rocket. That one on eBay is tempting me. It’s expensive but is actually a good price. I’m going to make a custom Abu Garcia 5500 C3 for my younger bro for his B day. He sprung a last minute Christmas gift on...

Happy Holidays! Been stressful but made it through for now. (y)

Those are some good size perch. (y)

Welcome back! I don’t know how different it is up there, but down south we fishing for surfperch and croakers. (Spotfin)

Lol I know I have a sick sense of humor but I’ve been watching Koreans clean them for sashimi on YouTube. I’m just mesmerized at when they cut the ends and all the red stuff explodes out. Not sure if it’s blood or what.

A bunch of the pothead/addict skaters from the 90s became the homeless hanging around Ocean Beach pier. I use to see them as young kids. The homeless around the Embacadero pier, in San Diego bay, behind the convention center, hang out deeper in the park. These people are mostly down on their...

I’ve done the same. I’ve sometimes used a splitshot. I’ve even read how some old timers used bunches of small mussels as weight. I’ve tried it with medium mussels. It works. You get weird looks though.

Good info. Something to add is that I use a short 5’6” rod for control and a quick reel that I can operate in the fly. One of my favorite types of fishing. Huge fall slab perch holding on shallow water pilings.

It’s nice to take time to admire the views like that.

Ken, Imperial Beach is getting harder to park at to. Don’t go on a late Friday because you won’t find any close parking because of the farmers market. Sunday afternoon can be bad too. I heard lobster has been good at Imperial Beach though.

Lol Hi Ken! As a SD local, I’m picky with my piers. Ocean Side lost its charm for me because of the crowds and parking. When it first reopened I was thinking it was the best pier ever, large halibut, bonito, BIG spotfin, a big sargo. I feel like Ocean Beach pier was built half *ssed. Waves...

I don’t have a favorite pier these days. I liked some of the older versions of piers, before storms got to them. I liked ocean side pier when it reopened but the last time I was there, it lost some of its charm.

Try small frozen or fresh anchovies. Ive also gotten them on those small shad swimbaits sometimes.

Always an exceptional report. Always looking forward to the cooked food at the end.

My friend invited me to go with him to OB this morning. Got up at 5am and headed up to his place. Then on to OB. Man, it was SLOW. Got a little Sand Bass and some Mackerel. Just last Thursday my friend got his limit on Bonito. Locals said there were some Friday and Saturday but today there were...

I enjoy these old pics.

If it’s a clean break, you don’t have to do prep work. If it has a diagonal brake you have to make the end flat. You said it broke at the thread end so I suspect a clean break.
