Of course you have a therapist. Saw that one coming

I’ve never wanted the downvote button back more than when that guy posts.

I have seen yellowtail in that area boiling this time of year. In fact some of my biggest are late winter surface iron fish. Between mission bay and La Jolla out to 3-4 miles .

I hate eating tuna but love catching them. I just bring the whole carcasses and dump them in Huntington harbor.

That’s the biggest bird I’ve ever seen

Much better. I would say just try to widen your feet a little more, but other than that looks great.

If you want a real fishing kayak, hobie is the only way to go. They really hold their value. In fact I’ve sold 3 for 3 higher than what I bought for new. There’s a reason why they are the most expensive.

If you’ve never had a chamber sealer before you will be impressed with even the smallest one. It basically comes down to the max bag size you to use.

Nice setup. I noticed your body is very off balanced. Almost like you are about to fall forward at the end of your cast. Try planting your feet, with a wider stance and bend your knees.

Down-rigger at 100’ with a rapala.

If it was not frozen and sitting in blood and fish juice, that’s definitely the cause. Have to cut the blood lines out and dry with paper towels and keep cold ASAP.

That’s cool til your power goes out. Nice to have backup generator that is dual fuel and runs on NG. We should not be relying on only one type of energy.

I wouldn’t do anything electronically aftermarket to a diesel engine beside a custom tune. Yes it would increase EGTS, pyrometer would be a must. You can get a lot more performance out of tuning a diesel engine vs a gas engine.

If you’re going to do your own processing get a chamber vacuum sealer. I can’t even tell you how much better they are than foodsaver type vacuum sealers. I got the one at Costco recently it was on sale for 600-700$ and it’s insane how well it works. I’ve vacuum sealed so much stuff already...

Don’t count out the desert here in CA and baja. Lots of open land in both. I suggest getting onx maps and you can see boundaries for property lines. You can basically go camp anywhere on BLM land and national Forrest areas. To add to the fun, do it doing turkey season and bring a shotgun along...

Ouch sick burn

Whatever makes you feel better snowflake.

So now you ask dumbass questions AND think about guys blowing each other? Wow, keep digging.

Yes the question was as equal to “is the ocean wet”? That’s how dumbass it was. And you defending him shows how much of a dumbass you are as well.

The dude is an idiot. He asked a dumbass question, got some reasonable answers for his dumb ass question, and keeps asking it.

Yet we’re all over the map and need reading classes in his mind. 😂

Can’t wait for your next dumbass question. Good luck trying to top this one.

Ok snowflake. I think colonel kurtz was right on the money.

You asked a question, and some gave you a viable answer including myself. Apparently you didn’t like the answers that were given. Why even ask the questions?

That’s a chicken shit reason. If that were the case cal guns would be gone, and that website is way bigger than this one. I’m sure it has to do more with being “politically correct” this place is going down hill fast.

You quoted the wrong person

I’m not mixed up I catch BFT in glorietta bay regularly. You must not be in the know.

Sounds like you’re ready to buy and run your own boat. What are you waiting for? You have the freedom to do anything you want. Fish halibut at the 43, sure. Fish bluefin in San Diego bay. The sky is the limit.

Golden grouper. When I used to fish Gonzaga, these guys would consistently swim after hooked spotted bay bass for a chance at an easy meal. Pretty easy to spot those guys in the water

What’s to stop you from bringing a rigged squid and heavy weight and trying yourself? I don’t think you need the crews permission.

It’s a numbers game, it’s the same reason they don’t target opah, marlin, etc.They put you on schools of fish for numbers for everyone. Not a single bite for one person. A lot of people would be pissed. The 4-6 pack boats can accommodate you for that.

To add, I’ve always felt safer off road on two wheels vs four. One straight set of wheels for obstacles not two. Hit a rock or obstacle/uneven terrain on a dirt bike and jump and land. Do it on 4 wheels and if your suspension isn’t kush enough, you’re rolling it.

Know two people personally who have been killed on sxs’s. I grew up riding and desert racing 450 dirt bikes. 100 MPH in the dirt washes was common. I gave it up a long time ago to injuries but I would feel safer getting a bike vs SxS

I wonder what would happen if I tell the MODS that the amount of ads on BD hurt my feelings.

Firearms and ammo do not meet the woke agenda

That’s a cabrilla for sure. There’s a reason why they call them leopard grouper. Broomtail don’t have that type of pattern. I can see how the tail might throw you off. I’d say that’s just mostly from where the fishes habitat is.

I don’t know, when I see my pay stubs and how much money they take from me, let’s say it’s enough for a good salary for someone. Except they do that to every person who files in the US. Sure would like to know where all the money they’re stealing from me goes to.

Agree. Flu and covid shots should not be considered vaccines. Remember when they said if you were vaccinated you would not get covid and stop the spread. What a crock of shit. And people are still eating that shit up. Crazy

It’s a good deal, just hold out

I know more about abreojos than La bocana. But agree there are more amenities at La bocana. In abreojos, drive to the co-op a day or two before you want to fish and ask for Chelan. He’s a great captain. All those captains are mostly commercial guys but a lot of them have no problem taking guys...

I used to use feeder goldfish from petco for LMB. Best bait I ever used. They did start to question how large my moms pond was that I kept getting 30 goldfish a night. They were gold at the golf course that’s for sure.

The unlimited hot water argument is bogus. I have 2 kids under 4 plus my wife always taking baths. I have a standard size 50 gallon water heater and we have never run out of hot water, ever. And we do not conserve. I suggest Bradford white . I’ve never seen the benefit of switching to tankless.

That’s going to happen with elderly dementia patients at the helm.

Don’t forget your long rod and surface iron

I just bought a 15xnld 2 speed for $150 OTD. It was considerably cheaper than the star or lever drag single speed. Sure you might not NEED a 2 speed. But I think the reel can fish 40lb so it’s not a bad idea, especially when cheaper than single speed. Guys used to catch cow tuna on single speeds...

I still actually prefer to throw most of my fish in Huntington harbor.

I own a house now but I loved fishing when living in apartments and condos for fish processing. Giant dumpsters at my disposal. Next house I’ll have enough land and a tractor to reap the benefits of using it as fertilizer.

Because it’s a pain in the ass to do legally (with tuna)

Green or pink marlin lures for dorado.

If you have a real clamp like a cork puppy, it’s not problem. Finding a deck hand rod strong enough for the task is the real problem.

I use rod ties, leave the reels on with no covers on anything. A rag or towel where the rods meet the tailgate and that’s it. If you wrap your rods tight and have padding on the tailgate nothing should get scratched or damaged. I keep the rods at a certain angle in the truck to keep the reels...

A few companies make a line conditioner to help with that. As long as that is indeed the problem, and the line isn’t actually digging into itself in the spool.

Don’t see a lot of good options for bags. Webstrauntstore.com seems like it comes up a lot. Probably going for the 8x12

For those of you with chamber vacs, where are you sourcing your bags? It seems like they mostly come in very large quantities. Also what’s the preferred size? Max capacity for mine is 15x10. Thanks

They sell jewelry, watches, handbags, and fine writing equipment. Has to be real.

This is what I use. Just make sure it’s big enough for you.

50lb braid to the top.

I got sucked into that deal too. Mine came a few days ago. I really like the size of the reel.

There’s actually a storm drain inlet right outside the bathroom that works better than the toilet.

It better be called the Jerry Rig. Or I ain’t buying it.

Just buy everything that way when you go and fish dorado and don’t touch any of it you can feel great about your decision.

No but there is an app that lets you do it from your TV so your fat ass can stay home and do it from the couch.

Why not just stay home and play video games? I can understand a kite rod being electric, or maybe even a deep drop sword rig. But if I’m connected to a fish I want to reel it in myself, not press a button.

Was there anything that wasn’t wrong with the boat?

🍿

Im laminating that picture and putting on my fridge so my wife knows how it really could be.

That was one of the decision makers for us. Worried about fuel and don’t have a drag tank.

Let’s see some pics of these 8lb greenback or Spanish mackerel.

You’d be pissed if you capsized in 3ft of water too.

I like suffix superior. Landed tuna close to 100lbs on the 40lb stuff.

Message in a bottle

Thanks for the report. I think we’ve gathered enough info to unfortunately postpone/cancel our trip. If we were going somewhere further north it would be a different story but to be 600 miles down and have to turn around would not be a great feeling.

I’m in a lifted 2500 4x4 but worried about the road from highway 1 to abreojos. Hopefully we can get some kind of update before Sunday or Monday.

Thanks for the report. Might have to push our trip back a few days.

Will report back here when we can. We have friends that stay down there so hoping to get an update from them as far as the road coming in from highway 1

You might be mistaking mackerel with bonito. There’s no way any Spanish or greenback mackerel are even close to 8lbs. Even 3lbs would be a stretch.

You are going to be a day ahead of us. We are leaving Sunday mid morning with no rush as we are splitting the drive to abreojos in two days. Good idea on calling Gonzaga. Could probably also call papa Fernandez down there. If for some reason saturday you can’t make it through, and have cell...

I would say there will be no problems between Mexicali and San felipe. The problem areas will all be south of that. I’m especially concerned with the area between San Felipe and Gonzaga. Where the bridges were collapsed last time I was down due to a hurricane.

We have a trip down south to Abreojos planned for sept 11-21 leaving Sunday morning from SD and driving from San Felipe to abreojos on Monday morning. Anyone going down south between now and Sunday/Monday? Or anyone traveling at the same time that wants to caravan. Tough to say if we can make it...

You can’t get rid of gas either, but they’re making their best attempt.

Phase diesel altogether? I think they’re trying to phase out all fuel altogether.

La Niña year with wahoo. Global warming is the only answer.

The heaviest they will bite

Buy London broil on sale. That’s the cut I use because you want a cut with little to no fat. I freeze it for about 30 minutes and cut in 1/4” pieces. The freezing is key to get good even cuts. Marinate in teriyaki sauce and red pepper flakes or whatever you want for a few days. I don’t rinse...

$40 a pound? Damn! I make my own with London broil for $4-5 per pound. I’ve used a pellet smoker, oven, but most recently found it to come out very good in the air fryer.

Where did he get that magic stick

LLY not bad either. Have an 05. Been a great truck. Only 170k miles, but better than the new shit with all the emissions.

I would just pick that sum bitch kelp up and move it.

Ah the ghost minnow. Very nice

To me it’s fairly simple as to why I would want to keep a mortgage payment at a 1.9 fixed % interest rate for 30 years. My loan cost will stay the same but the value of the dollar in 30 years is going to be much less.

Did you catch everything on the B52 bucktails?

Exactly. Invest elsewhere and keep the mortgage term as long as possible.

It might be because a roller guide can handle a swivel being brought on the rod without chipping an insert.

No sense of humor, chief?

Looks like a 26’ chinook but my eyes are bad.

Well ya when you have all that extra gas money from madmac profit anything is possible

Very nice looking kelp to have all to yourself. Sucks when there’s no one home on those.

12 gauge slugs have been working for us.

Ditch the shimano rods. Reels are as good as as other manufactures, however overpriced in my opinion. But their rods are shit.

That wouldn’t make much sense. One of the main benefits, is the cost of the cut solid rings are waaaaay cheaper. There is an initial cost but that would be made up very quickly. If you get the stuff to braze do it right, using the right rings.

Not a chance

Depends on if the bite shut down or got better with the added bait.

I wouldn’t pay much attention to his comment. When dorado want to bite they’ll eat anything. Dorado have been caught on all kinds of lures. I hooked one yesterday on a nomad madscad with no paint left on it. But I wouldn’t be afraid to try surface iron, popper, colt sniper, Daiwa sp minnow, etc..

I would take the chance for that.

Big jet heads and marlin lures. Pink or green. Great for dorado

We’re talking about line capacity. Not if 100 LB braid can land a tuna..

277 yards will get dumped pretty quick on a big fish. Also imagine if you’re 300 down with a knife jig and hook up only having 177 yards left to fight a big fish. I say try it til you get spooled. Tight drags.

There’s a huge difference there when the retailer also charges $200 for the fake flyers. The $200 mad macs retail for $50 and less. The notion is that dudes are ripping fellow fisherman off and I tend to agree.

I believe it.

Pink? Squirted? Please elaborate

Can I rent them?

If the you have trouble with the circle hook spinning around the poking back in the bait try coming out the upper jaw through the mouth. That’s how I always slow troll mackerel to avoid that problem.

If you have a Mexican auto insurance policy (which you definitely should) theft and damage is included.

Expect bruises. 5 days minimum

was I think you are confusing drag rating with line class. The penn 25ld2 is a 40 LB reel not a 100lb reel. Fish it accordingly. Drag specs to not dictate line class. A lexa 400 has a 25lb drag rating. A lot of people fish 1/4 drag to line class. Does that make a Daiwa lexa a 100lb reel? Hell...

I landed an 80ish pound BFT on a long rod with a BG 35 last year. Can’t speak for the fathom star drags, I know the LD2’s have way more balls but the BG’s are not bad reels. Just crank that drag down when fishing 40-50lb on em.

OP, lock your doors at night. The mods will be coming for you.

I hook mackerel through the upper jaw when slow trolling for yellowtail. Ive been doing that for many years because I got sick of circle hooks spinning around when hooked sideways through the nose and poking back into the bait.

If you were married with children you might understand..

BUMP

I thought maybe we were going to be reading about missing fingers. Surprised you were able to break the 80lb especially after it was already tight on your fingers.

I think the lack of heat dissipation and the smaller drag is a bigger problem than .3 gear ratio differential.

Bump

In no way was I suggesting a dropper loop knot.

I think some of you are confused. He isn’t suggesting sending a sinker down with a hook on it (I’m not saying it won’t work). But for discussion sake, he’s talking about a drop shot rig with a sardine on it. I don’t personally like the idea due to lack of movement the bait can have.

So he wasn’t pulling up to the wrong side of the kelp, he was having you guys fish on the wrong side of the boat.

If you take the time to go back and read previous posts made by the OP on other threads, you can see he is not a scammer.

If you pull up to a kelp on your starboard side, and the kelp is getting further away from you, that means you should have been casting on starboard side not the port side.

Is that a yellowfin?

Usually I’ll take my flylined smelt and try to cast that sum bitch right into the tuna pen if I can. Almost a guarantee.

Is it a newer rod? Or an older one? Chances are it’s fine. Some of the older rods and components, especially with the really serrated braid like izor, would V groove the guide with good pressure. Just keep an eye out for it.

Also keep in mind some guides aren’t meant to have braid dragging on them. In that line class it shouldn’t be a problem, but when you start upping the pressure on the reel, it can make a difference.

I wanna see a picture of that bad boy..

They make 2 speed saltist as well.

I got my 05 duramax for a good deal. $9000. And it had 80,000 miles on it at the time. Those miles were put on by me because it was my company truck. Company lost the contract and we got first crack. It still bluebooks over $20,000 and I can probably get closer to 30,000. Won’t sell it though...

Pictures or it didn’t happen. And not the fat one.

When you hook a 150+ LB tuna you’re going to be wishing you had a mak20 after an hour. Much easier to grind fish in on the heavy framed reels. The fathoms are great reels for medium tuna but not meant to fish over 80lb test. There’s a reason why the heavy framed reels are twice the $. It’s like...

It’s probably to keep you on the site longer by scrolling longer. I’m just going to resort to using the report button for everything. You should see that one disappearing shortly here.

50’ of 80lb flouro. Damn, baller.

Just get one of those large spoon jigs they make.

Bomber cd30. Wider lip than a xrap 30 so it has more action and dives deeper at slower speeds. But as others have mentioned, giant greenback flylined can’t be beat. Can go .5 mph to 5 mph on a kayak and it will always have great action. Don’t throw the huge mackerel back. The home-guards have...

I don’t get it.

I’ve been trying to explain the anatomy of a fish and their lateral line for years. Sounds like a few guys starting to believe. Glow is for show. Nothing mo.

We can start by getting rid of the open borders policies…

Tribute for a 1.5 day in January about 5 years ago. Breaking waves over the bow going out of mission bay channel. 15-20ft swell. Gale winds. Went out to Cortez and murdered the yellowtail on yo-yo. Captain and crew all sick. The following trip was cancelled in better conditions.

Knife jigs are actually the thing of the past. I remember guys using them 30 years ago on sport boats out of San Diego. Albacore and bluefin.

Circle on a jig? Must have worked well

Used to catch albacore 3 at a time on a sabiki. That’s how dumb they are. They will bite a bare hook

I had inguinal hernia surgery back when I was about 25, I had basically a full recovery in 2 weeks. I actually went back to work the second day after the surgery. This was a laparoscopic surgery and the doctor said I was on the table an extra hour because of how much scar tissue was in the way...

You would be lucky to find a beefy used reel for the caliber of BFT we have been seeing for under $200. Let alone new. If you don’t fish that often I’d probably go with renting. For jigs, unless proficient with poppers, stick with heavy knife jigs and colt snipers. Other than that, dial in your...

The lateral line on these fish show the flat fall moving around like crazy. It would be hard to emulate that with a bait at 300’ deep at night. You can cover much more water quickly with a jig. During the daytime, bait is always going to be better because the fish are using eyesight just as much...

Where are any of our taxes going? They will never want us to know. They can just keep taking and taking at their will, and there’s nothing anyone will do about it.

Buy a cheap measuring wheel. Harbor freight $15

What does that matter if it’s been working? In no way did I say it’s ideal or the best reel out there to fight cow tuna. I simply stated that he’s killed cow tuna with that reel and that is a display of the strength of the reel.

Push the lever forward and hold on. It wasn’t moby dick he hooked. You either break it off in the first 60 seconds or kill it quickly

I think Duane diego of pinnacle sport-fishing uses a saltiga 50 for cows. That should say something about their strength.

Not if it has to be released

We’re you using the exact same rod on the 400 as you were the 300?

Tow vehicle so strong and heavy it’s lifting the back tires of the trailer off the ground

That will be a waste of your time. You asked a question earlier and I answered it for you. The iron isn’t hot enough..

Not enough heat. Not even close

I’m a 34 year old homeowner and construction manager who desert raced years in district 37. I’ll pull on fish toe to toe with you any day. Not all millennials are little bitches.

Holy shit, the first time I’ve ever agreed with strackle. Is the world ending?

You can thank Gavin newsome and anyone who votes democratic for this if it passes.

Standyne. If it’s cold where you’re at and storing through winter get the winter bottle so the diesel won’t gel.

Bring a sabiki to dip in bait tank to avoid the skunk, just in case.

Garibaldi

Siphon with pump and burn it in a fire slowly.

Did he run out of stuff to deflate at home?

Lots of gear for sale lately. I’m guessing for gas money.

Sorry but I don’t count one in a million laws lessening up as a perk for us. As far as the depth restriction, that’s something that should not have been take away in the beginning. It didn’t change the limit of fish someone can bring home. Again, the government getting their hands in too much of...

Hate to break it to you, but regulations only get tighter. Just like your freedoms in day to day living that you lose and will never get back. Keep in mind, it’s a government agency.

Mexicali definitely the way to go. 6-7 hours past the border is average. Lots of variables. Traffic in San Felipe and Mexicali, immigration checkpoints, washed out roads with detours and so forth.

Probably forgot to wear his covid mask.

They need slot limits for BSB. They’re a good eating nuisance at this point.

👎🏻

Ya that’s what the entire crowd was saying….

First world problems

Contact your local pharmacy

Tiburon worked good for me.

July

Cork puppy. And/ or precision gun scope torque wrench if you’re really paranoid

I don’t disagree

Didn’t realize how many swingers on this site.

Tackle direct has a ton and if you spend 50$ free shipping

Damn I hope I can make this.

Agree. We’re not talking about a business operation or boat partners. We’re talking fishing on friends boats. Gas, bait, ice. No problem. I even give my buddies a little bit more, for the gas that it takes them to to trailer the boat down and back. For all we know you are taking that $150-300$...

Seems a lot of the stuff you spent money on such as electronics and creature comforts are a once in ten year or so purchase. Maintenance doesn’t go away, but it seems as if your costs should be much cheaper the next 5-10 years provided nothing catastrophic happens.

Very good looking lever gun. I like the lever action 22’s because they cycle subsonic ammo with ease. For those that don’t know, that lever action 22 will take subsonic ammunition that’s quieter than a pellet gun shot. The first time I shot a subsonic 22 I had to take my ears off to make sure...

Make sure you have a good cause. And don’t try to hide anything. They know about any and all law enforcement interactions in your lifetime. That’s pretty much it.

I’m higher than the price of gas

Here I was thinking you lost your ass on Bitcoin…

I’ve tried it in mega baits. It does give it more action, but sometimes it makes them just spin and does not look like a natural bait fish .

Did you care to read the title of the thread? Or just skip it to breeze in and talk some shit 😂

Didn’t know they make a triple axle 4x6 utility trailer. Crazy..

Thanks for the phone number, sent her a prank dial and bitch fell for it. Here’s the recording. Got one for the homies! Press the stop button and it will play the recording https://www.prankdial.com/reactions/W0Z8D66DA1?auto_play=1

Says $300 right there

Just because they did something does not make it constitutional.

Studies? How long ago was it that the booster was beginning to be administered? To me in the short term it's still an experiment. I just recovered from covid, I do not see how much easier of a time I could have had with it, and I am not risking an experimental dose of medicine for something that...

Well I hate to break the bad news to you all mighty boosted one. I know two people who are currently in the hospital who are boosted and have covid. They are having a hell of a time. Meanwhile, every family member neighbor and friend of mine who currently just recovered (including myself) or...

Hunting

Now you heard it straight from the horses mouth. Conspiracy theories. BD went full WOKE! Bummer!

My vote is for the 16. You can always catch a smaller fish on a bigger reel. But could possibly be under gunned with a fathom 40

It’s showing up just fine.

They could open that shit up for at least 1-2 per angler per day no problem. Nothing negative would happen to the species. They’re more of an annoyance by catch at this point. They are delicious though when caught in Mexican waters.

Sick!

That would be pretty fun with an AR 15

The crack shack, there’s one in Encinitas and one in little Italy. Bonus is they have a full bar.

I’ll do $2

Doesn’t seem like they are censoring politics that are being posted outside the politics board. Might as well talk politics here, who cares what the title is. If that starts getting censored then it’s time to bounce for sure. Agree with above about one side not being able to take it but no...

500lb broomtail grouper 😂 I’ll have two of whatever you’re smoking please…

I take my cheaper setups. You don’t need top of the line gear on a kayak since drag pressure isn’t as important as it is on a boat because you are being towed around easily on a kayak. Leash everything down and be cautious when turning around to grab something behind you. Sometimes it helps to...

My strategy is to tell the MOB I just spotted a Gws

I also don’t need a PM about an article thats showing me how to tie a dropper loop. If you don’t know how to tie a dropper loop and you’ve been fishing more than a year in SoCal, you should quit fishing and continue knitting or doing the dishes.

Everyone is being stalked 24/7 through their phones. How do you think google maps knows how much traffic there is?

If you don’t want to spend anymore time or money on them, I’d throw them in the trash.

Make sure you post in the politics forum why you’re leaving California. Oh wait…

Maybe head gasket

Small glass of wine and headache for multiple days? YIKES!

Champagne, hazy ipa, now water.

It’s as addicting as fishing. It’s a good problem to have to decide whether to go fishing or hunting. More work than fishing but can be just as rewarding. Network with guys who have experience to cut the learning curve. California has a ton of public land to hunt on. Get on-x app and make sure...

What’s the holosun going on? AR?

Given they don’t make it anymore and it looks brand new I’d say it’s a pretty good deal.

I like sufix superior mono.

Would have been cool to see if he rode it up there. We used to do stoppies to set our bike down on the stands. Had an RM 125 for one of my first bikes and the rule was if I could start it I could ride it. I couldn’t touch the ground on it when I was 7-8 years old so I’d have to find a bench, log...

Check out narcos on Netflix

When a boat looks chuck Norris in the eye, it sinks.

Wow now I’ve seen more salmon is SoCal this year than albacore.

The man show?

Did you guys see that video last year of the snow shoveling dispute that ended up with the one guy going inside grabbing a gun and blasting the husband and wife? That shit was crazy.

Blackwater

I don’t think they should be given to infants. Not a great argument considering I don’t believe vaccines should be given to infants, especially shit like Hep B. That’s some dumb shit, if your girl can keep it in her pants, you shouldn’t worry about it. The antibodies produced by natural...

man asking which shot is a great question actually. Do we go with fourth largest lawsuit settlement payout or the third? Fraudulent and illegal misconduct. But yes, the government and these mega pharmaceutical companies definitely have your best interest at heart. There’s no way it could be...

Shot sissies, more like the boosted guys are natural immunity and natural body health sissies! Duhhhhhh more booooosters pweeeease.

The vaccine probably weakened his immune system to contract the infections. That’s what vaccines do, they weaken your body.
