Surf fishing in Southern California for many anglers down here usually involve small bass rods and light line. There are a few who target something a little bigger and badder that swim our surf and can test your tackle as well as your back. For years my friend Don up in LA would try to […]
Fishing San Diego Bay or Mission Bay from shore can be very productive with a little bit of know-how and a healthy amount of perseverance. When it comes to fishing spots, Google Earth is your best friend. You can fish anywhere you want unless there are No Fishing signs posted. In general, fish relate to […]
Many of these terms are used in our Forum board as well as the articles. This is to aid anglers on common words thrown around the SoCal fishing community. The meanings may vary slightly between anglers and geographic locations, but normally reflects the general definition used. (Please PM Latimeria on the Forum Board if you […]
Well, the grunion run is about to begin and that means the coast is about to get inundated with a lot of bait and the game fish that follow them. This ranges from sharks and rays to bass and butts. One of the most sought after game during this time is the Shortfin Corvina (Cynoscion […]
It never fails that if you get out fishing long enough, you’ll undoubtedly run across something you’ve never seen before… at least in maybe real life. Whether you catch, snag or just find something interesting, it’s worthy of a picture to share with fellow fishermen. I’m going to primarily keep this a “Fish Porn” type […]
It is an elite club when you can say that you caught a Great White from the surf. Incidental catches like this are not common while fishing for the more common bigger sharks of SoCal, but they have been increasing in frequency over the past few years. Here, P-Soul member Chris (aka Pierfisher) shows off […]
The Sevengill Surf Sharks are returning! Well, at least a few guys started plucking them out of the surf last night. A big series of storms is about to hit Southern California which is bringing big and turbulent surf. This will mess up the beaches once again, so a few guys got out last night […]
Ventura Sevengill Sharking Well sometimes it isn’t about the freshest bait out there as Chad could attest to when he caught this nice Sevengill off the beach with “a big chunk of mac jerky” from a liquor store bait freezer. You never know what they will be hitting, but one thing is for certain… You […]
P-Soul member Mike has been on a roll this year as he just landed his first Soupfin Shark of 2017. Last week he got his Sevengill, so slowly but surely he is rising on the leader board one shark at a time! Be sure to follow the link and read about his surf trip in […]
Well, the surf layed down this past week just enough to settle the floating salad in the water and give us an opportunity to fish. A personal best was landed by Latimeria and followed up the next night with another Sevengill Shark caught by longtime member, Mike (Pinoyfisher). This is the 4th Sevengill Shark over […]
Well, there has been a few missed opportunities in this 2017 shark season already, but finally someone got one on the sand to start the 2017 shark list. Here Sasquatch shows off a beautiful 88 inch SoCal Sevengill Shark off the beach before the weather and rain hits our area. The beach did not look […]
It was bound to happen sooner than later, but one of the guys just landed a Great White Shark from the beach. It was only a juvenile, but even cooler to see it so compact and yet still fierce and mean looking. Here is the short version… Matt has been looking for a big Sevengill lately […]
