San O 6/16
https://youtu.be/ZGO2Q0D9VhA Ps: La Jolla was pretty poor conditions on Sunday, with very green water and about no light reaching over 85' all morning. Bait was a scarce mixture of grande Greenies and tiny Spanish. |

I love that place and I hate that place and your video perfectly captures the reasons for both feelings. In most surf landings you can sit outside the surf line and paddle like hell between sets through the danger zone, but at San O those rogues can pop up anywhere within 1/4 mile from shore. I used to pick my days very carefully there and I would have aborted in the parking lot on the day of your video Greg,

Very impressive to get out there solo. Nice fish! You always make it look easy peasy.

Nice. At least someone did well. I slogged all the way out to the upcurrent end of the bed, found horrible green water and packed it in. I was home by 9:30.

Congrats Greg! Great effort and report.
Reading about footwear, sheepshead and fish finders, you'd think it was January and had been raining for two weeks straight. Last edited by katchfish; 06-19-2018 at 06:00 PM. |

I don’t get how when you launched you went through like 15 waves but on the way back there wasn’t one breaker? How is that?

Great share
Thanks Greg. Nice footage. It's also very nice that some hack is not talking the whole video!

1st of all, where do I buy your book?
2nd, thank you for not putting music to the video like some others. I like the sound of the ocean, it's soothing and relaxing makes me feel like I was there.

Yeah, I was using my GoPro 5 in the dive housing up until recently. It really hampered the sound, like most of the cameras before it. Now I am just using it as it came, since it is waterproof to like 10'. Captures a lot more sound, but it did magnify the wind sound quite a bit. Not that you are likely to hear anything but the fish thrashing, wave crashing or a bit of drag pulling in my videos. I am just not very animated (at least until I do the next dumb thing).

It's posts like these....
That fire me up to get back out there. Proof that questionable weather does not necessarily make bad fishing. Thanks for sharing the vid!
