When bottom fishing restarts in April, I plan to get back on the water after a year off. I would like to start by targeting Sheepshead and more importantly Ling Cod.

I fish, (or at least used to...

Nothing but respect

I have been a member of this group since 2008. I used to fish a lot but these days, I do not have the patience that some of you have, and am unwilling to go out day after day and be skunked time...

A little over 11 years ago, I wrote the first post in the Share Your Innovations thread. It was a rainy day, just like today and I was just beginning to discover how rewarding it can be to modify my...

Somehow this thread morphed into a diss session on the Hook 2. Add me to the list. When I fish with Mark, (Fish11) I can easily tell that his Elite is far better than my Hook2. The biggest complaint...

La Jolla 7/24 Skunked again but it was a beautiful day

I went out on 7/24 for the first time in over a month. Always hopeful, I did not come home with a prize...again. That does not mean that the trip was a disappointment, however.

At 6:30, the...

For a relatively new guy, you are taking the rest of us to school. I know that a lot of it has to do with time on the water but you are having a very impressive summer. Keep at it and keep posting....

I was partnered with Mark, (Fish11) yesterday and have to say that his description of the day was a rosy one compared to my memory. The wind, the mist, the chop, the lack of seeing any living thing...

I am with you Chris. I personally learned a lot from being around our friend and mentor. It is too bad that the Darkhorse has gone, well, dark, but many of the best fishers from back in the day have...

I have a rig that I use for catching bait. It is a short section of sabiki flies with a weight on the bottom and a clip swivel at the top. I just attach this rig to my fly-line setup's hook when...

I believe that the beaches and marina are open in Oceanside. You can probably launch a kayak from their ramp or, with some help, (for a Pro Angler), from the guest dock on the east edge of the marina.

Some surfers seem to be ignoring the rules, at least for the moment. I don't have big a problem with this.

LJ Launch Closure

I just checked with the lifeguards along with the SD Park & Rec. Dept. As others have said, the beach and launch closures are part of a blanket closure within the city. As of today, the LJ launch is...

Given the current fishing conditions, I plan to target bottom fish the next time I go out. The problem is that I always release fish that I do not plan to eat.

With that in mind, I would like to...

That is a great image. This one is from the LJ Shores Hotel, not the Beach and Tennis Club. The old B&TC camera is still working as well and displays the launch from a different angle.

It might...

After looking at Mark's photo, I agree. Amberstripe Shad it is.

Has anyone else run across this bait before in LJ? Maybe the late warm water has brought them up from the south. Could dorado or...

They could have been Amber Shad. The shape is about right but I do not remember them having much in the way of blue/green color on their backs. Also, the maximum size is reported to be 13 inches. I...

Strange Bait Fish

My fishing buddy Mark and I visited La Jolla today. It was an amazingly beautiful day on the water. 70 to 72 degrees for both the air and water. Glassy for most of the day until a little wind chop...

As Chief Seattle once said, "take only memories, leave only footprints". Sounds like good advice to me.

Installing a fish finder with exterior transducer mount

When I first began fishing from a kayak in 2008, things were pretty simple. You paddled out, caught bait and trolled. There were plenty of fish in LJ back then so most fishing trips were usually...

Great video

Now I know why you have all those cameras on your yak. Even though I was only a few feet from you when you fought and landed that nice YT, I think that the video was more fun than the live action. I...

Mark, (Fish11), and I met at the launch way too early for my preference. We were greeted by almost surreal conditions. First light and a minus tide exposed over 100 yards of normally hidden sand that...

As Trolldirty says, you should keep the mirage drive available but use the bungy to make them retracted to the hull. In my experience, paddles work best when going in backwards. It is usually wet but...
