    Benicia shore, no fish

    I haven't been fishing for almost 3 months... well a few times at Crissy. Today I tried a 100 casts with a spinner for Salmon. No fish. In the past, we used to catch Salmon August and September but looks like the past 3 years the fish are coming in in October. I also tried other lures for...

    yearly trap

    Ugh I fell into the trap again. Yesterday morning I drove all the way to fricken Frisco and our region's $6 a gallon gas and $7 toll among highways full of rain derived accidents, to find that the GGNRA shoreline is occupied by Escape from Alcatraz event. Waste of time and gas. Why can't they...

    Golden Gate Bridge

    went for a bike ride today from fort mason to the bottom of golden gate. took a photo of a few kids plugging for stripers at high tide. they were using rapalas or swimbaits. if i were them i would use a wood plug like a bottle or pencil. the key is to keep the lure in the water longer, dancing...

    some stripers

    some small stripers showing up in my area. i'm getting bored of the lake and the water levels going down are disheartening. So in the Straits of Solano county i think I figured out a shore spot using a fly fishing/jigging technique for the rapidly moving water and started nailing some small...

    bass under grey skies

    took my dad out on the cattle boat in san diego for some 1/2 day calico bass action off La Jolla last weekkend. It was kinda slow and overcast so the water was dark and the bite was not off the charts. For rookies we did poorly, catching about about 6 fish, two keepers. Other people were...

I probably won't be fishing again after that until maybe December or January...

    lamiglas surf king

    after several years, my surf king finally snapped just like what I've heard others report. Snapped at the butt end of the two piece rod at the connection, while casting. What sucked was that I had brought two rods, and first, my cheap bass pro surf reel got a failed anti-reverse. So, I switched...

    Slow at the SF beach yesterday

    I fished it hard for 3.5 hours from the wave organ to the east beach yesterday morning with lures. There were a handful of pluggers out too and lots of boats. I didn't see anyone hook up, even me, except one guy on the boat that was only 40 yards offshore. He got a 30+ inch flattie which is what...

    lake

    caught a couple spotted bass yesterday. small but strong. I guess my lure this year is the white chatter bait. nothing else works as well, except the rattletrap, which was killing them last year.
