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 […]
Wow, it’s been fairly quiet for a while and then the Sevengill Sharks start Storming the Beaches! A half dozen in 2 nights from Ventura County and San Diego County which triples what we’ve caught the last few weeks combined. The surf is supposed to build on Thursday which means the next few days should be a good […]
So it started as every trip the last three months, but turned into something special. We’ve only seen 3 legit surf sharks the past 3 months, but literally over doubled it in one night! The Soupfin Sharks were schooling and the Sevengill Sharks appeared to be breeding on the same beach that we were at. […]
Parimal M. RohitDecember 1, 2016 WASHINGTON, D.C. — A petition to declare Pacific bluefin tuna as a threatened or endangered species could be successful, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced in October. The federal agency is seeking scientific and commercial information about Pacific bluefin tuna through Dec. 12 to determine whether an endangered […]
The Grinner Gathering ended up living up to it’s name after most had packed it in. It was a really fun time getting to meet and fish with all the familiar names on the website from over the years. Many of us met up at the Tidewater Tavern prior to the event to get […]
It’s finally happening… The Sevengill sharks are starting to make their appearance off the local SoCal beaches. There has been a steady trickle of surf sharks the past month, but this seems to be getting more frequent over the past few weeks with more that even found a way to escape the hook after taking […]
It’s been a few months of rigorous use, but I am ready to write my review of the Coastline SurfSystem fishing “Back Pack” (I leave that in quotes as it is not truly a typical back pack). I received this fishing back pack from Ted Blake who designed this system initially to work the beaches […]
Well, Ben sure knows how to get around to increase his fish species list on rod and reel. He’s an Illinois member on our boards who travels great distances to find new species to catch and he just plain fits right in here at Prehistoric Soul. Ben has really made the most of his trip […]
