County Line/ Leo Carillo
 

Anyone from LA area fish over here lately? Some dude got a YT on a SUP this past weekend on the yoyo. If you know this area, let me know if you know of some spots to launch from. Don't want to kill myself. Thanks guys

~Cheers~

I havent fished there lately, but they have been catching fish there all summer long....as far as launch spots...you answered your own question....county line and leo carillo.

And as far as not killing yourself....leo carillo is much easier but further away. Youll be launching and landing in a boulder field just so you know. Dont crash!

Today is perfect day
 

Bite is wide open . :kayak-surfer::kayak-surfer:pm if interested in going some other time . All my buddy's whimpered out . No juevos . :paddleersmilie:

Heard they're feeding on squid.

Like mentioned above
 

They have been killing them all summer . The fishing probably hasn't been this good since the fiftys , before man invented the fishing reel . :D. But I really would not know because I have not caught jack :yt:there all year long . I was building my confidence farther down south at Lj , when they were right here in my back yard . :toetap05:.

Well, I live in Brea, so LJ is 90-120 minute drive. Leo Carillo is still over an hour but a little closer.

I just need some squid colored jigs!

Speaking from experience: I live in Norwalk, County Line is about half the distance of LJ but the drive takes just as long or longer. I recall one weekend when it took me over 2hrs to get home, 2hrs to go 60miles.............:auto:

Oh Damn, thanks for the heads up. The drive back from LJ has been 2 hrs on average for me. So sounds like there isn't much of a benefit to go over there, unless it's just biting better

Fishing malibu is always good, but having to deal with PCH is a heart ache all the time and it doesn't mean you will catch anything either.

Launching at County Line can be a little challenging espically if the surf is on the larger side. Head out to the 180' mark and a little N/W of Neptune's Net. There should be some boats anchored up there. Heard the white jig was working best. Yes the fishing has been the best it has been since I can remember. There used to be a bunch of home guards in the Malibu area in th 70's. We would troll for them with broken back Rapala's. I would take some squid too. Watch on the landing too as the waves break quite a distance from the beach. If you are on FB look for George Clout. Spends a lot of time there and usually has a report if he is not surfing.

Thank you MrPukaShell, this is the kind of Intel I was hoping for. Looking online I saw all the rocks and wasn't sure where everyone launches from.

That guy that got his yt on the sup was using a white jig, so I figured that would be the way to go. I got a yellow and white, might try that out.

Sil,

If you get there early enough there is a dirt road that leads down to the beach that you can park next to. I think it is the life guard access. Anyway it is an easy way down to the water. I have always launched on the southern end but you will just have to see what the waves are doing. Heard the surf was going to be on the larger side this weekend so check your favorite surf report. I would stow your gear on the way out and on the way back in. Broke two poles there a couple of weeks back, lesson learned the hard way.

Awesome, thanks. I actually might go on my buddies boat this weekend, but will keep an eye on the surf reports to find a window of opportunity.

I like to try new spots out all the time.

get there early. in my experience the wide open bites happen right around sunrise, and shut off shortly thereafter. doesn't mean they can't be caught later in the morning... but it does seem to slow down quite a bit.

frozen squid on dropper loops and various jigs ought to get it done.

Awesome! You guys rock, thanks for the info!

lived 10 min from leo/county for 20 yrs and honestly never fished it, or anywhere in malibu for that matter, at least from a kayak. Now that I live in san diego I wish I was up there. But if I had to launch from anywhere Id park in the lot at leo carillo down the cliff from the actual county line. You will enter like youre going to the campgrounds, but you will go back under pch, then past the lifeguard tower then north and down to the beac. Might be a bit of a paddle though and youll prob have to pay.

For any easy launch park on pch just east of the leo camp ground entrance south side of the street there are a small set of wood stairs and its free but if you have to balls launch out of couty line but store ur gear like they mentioned I consider both of these spots as my local spots fish them a lot oh and also bring heavy weights if fishing bait if current is ripping you need 12-16 oz to stay on the bottom irons works awesome to got all mine there this year on irons good luck wear your PFD and wait for the lull in the sets

wiiiiide open this morning (for about an hour or so). dropper loop with dead squid, and jigs. 130-160ft.

Sweet!! How many did you get?

Aloha Spirit had 18 yesterday (Boat out of Channel ISlands)

Sunday....anyone?
 

Anyone want to go Sunday? I've never fished there and kinda don't want to solo...

Haven't fished CL since last year I think, haven't heard much about it since the tuna bites been crazy this year. Anyone know if the squid have shown up at CL yet? Might need to go on a ghost hunt if that's the case.

If you're going, I might just have to go there! I'm anxious to get a kayak yt. Going to put 6x scrambled egg to work!

According to the folks on BD, they have shown up there.

If the winds don't pick up like last weekend, might see you guys out there sunday.

Last week it was calm and flat until about 9, then all hell broke loose! Hope it's good out there!

Squid have been there for a while. The light boats had been hammering them for weeks, but they must have got their quota, cuz they are gone now. I haven't been able to make any squid for bait, but it hasnt been needed. Dead works just fine. Last few times I didn't bother bringing a sabiki or squid jig with me.

The WSB bite never materialized like it did the past two summers (and any summers before then). They are around, and being caught here and there... but YT have definitely taken over.

Yeah the WSB fishing was epic those two years. Buddy and I would go almost every weekend, and limited out each time. Smallest was probably 25#

Sweet, thanks for the Intel. I'm hoping for YT, so I don't mind if they've taken over! !!;)

County Line
 

I'd like to join too if there is a group going out this weekend! Sunday is looking best as of now but I'm willing to tweak my schedule for Saturday. Couch space available in Long Beach if anyone wants to come up from down south.

I don't know how much experience you have... IF you have none or very little, I can say for sure that County line is not a place for you. Not trying to keep you or any one else away...but it is without a doubt dangerous. Just try'n to save you some pain. Otherwise have fun out there!

I appreciate your concern for sure. Is the danger due to swell?

Everything on my boat stashes or lashes. I swim just about every time I fish so no worries with re-entry. That and I surf so I'm no stranger to navigating waves (and taking a few on the head every now and again).

I fish Newport and Long Beach mostly and have been wanting to explore north of PV. I am certainly lacking experience in that sense. What would your suggestion be for no hassle launching in the area?

Thanks!

Anyone fish this spot?

Deep Hole34.01.49 / 118.57.53

Heard this is the spot. Guess it's an old train depot that got dumped there.

The surf can be really really big at county, when its big and your out there...your gonna be sorry you were ever born. So if your hell bent on getting out there pick your day wisely and come back in as soon as the weather/swell starts to look bad..otherwise you might pay the price. Leo Carrillo is an easier launch but is covered in rocks and boulders.... so if you crash there...you'll be sorry, in more ways than one.

You have to have some sort of launch and landing experience before you go otherwise a mistake can cost you, and even if you have experience you can still crash and get fucked up.

be careful

Thanks for the advise Tony. I saw the rocks and is my main concern, hence the reason I started this thread. Thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated! :D

Sounds serious, consider me warned.

Silbaugh, I'm always game for fishing in a group. Let me know what you decide.

Surfers litter this spot for a reason. If your not use to surf launches definitely be prepared to get rolled a few times.

Dude Los Alamitos Bay easy paddle out...and as for fishing grounds anywhere in the ocean is good... We should go out some time we could go to Newport to...
