After looking at photos online i think you nailed it.

We went out about a week ago at night to hoop net with a buddy and had a few of these guys swim up in our deck lights. They hung out around the boat as long as the lights were on and we managed to snag one with the bait net for a closer look. My first instinct was Ballyhoo but I've never...

Got out again this Monday on my buddy's 19 ft Arima with the same goal as last week, run down to below the border in search of yellowfin and dorado. Got the boat launched from Shelter Island at 5 am and ran to the bait barge for a decent scoop of sardines. We got everything strapped down for the...

Awesome report, hopefully those YFT are going to keep sliding up and you get your shot soon!

We threw a few net fulls on two of the stops but didn't see any reaction to it.

Been a while since I've posted but I'm going to try and be as detailed as possible so pardon the longer report. Had the chance to get out Monday 9/12 on my buddy's 19ft Arima sea chaser yt edition (his boat is named "The Slammer"). Launched out of Shelter Island around 5 am and ran to the bait...

Thank you. I think I've had more fun on that float tube in the bay then any other boat I've fished on.

My buddy and I decided to go out and kick around Spanish Landing this past Sunday, the 26th of Jan. I ended the day with 3 nice spotties that I caught on 5 inch Kalins grubs and my friend caught 2 using a 3 inch Christmas tree color Fish Trap. Successful day in my opinion, fishing could have...

I'll drink to that! :hali_olutta::hali_olutta:

Awesome catch man, Med sized macs and big lizard fish are lke candy for those big flatties! Congrats!

thanks!

Great job out there, went out on the New Seaforth last night but we couldn't seem to find a school that wanted to play. Looks like your son had a blast though!

Awesome job, still trying for my first Grand Slam haha.

Haha yeah hook in the ass and 30lb mono through the body tied off to a swivel at the mouth. And thanks for the encouragement on the bait, it doesn't bother me that it sinks. If anything I think the fact that it swims just under the surface makes it a better bait because not many on the market...

Yeah they are weedless, I rig them in an interesting way though. I take a large sewing needle and thread 30 lb mono through the body of the frog and tie the frog hook to the mono before I bury it in the frogs' "back end". At the mouth of the frog I tie off the other end of the 30lb mono to a swivel.

I can tell you it doesn't float 100% float, but it sinks VERY slowly. So walking it on the surface is not a problem at all. If i take a picture of it in a bucket of water it would look like it was sitting at the bottom of the bucket but it would sink super slowly before it reached the bottom...

PMed you back, fished it today for a little while with no luck. Swims well and when its hooked up it sits just below the surface.

Thanks you, havent got the pm yet but im waiting for it

Thanks for the feedback, the hook was set with barbs down but i fixed that so they sit up. It has a solid rubber body and it doesn't "float" when rigged, but it kinda sits near the top of the water on a slow retrieve so it might still work like this. I get to fish it tomorrow so I'll give an...

Here is that top view. Yeah tapitio, took a few tries to get this right. the ones i messed up pissed me off though... these things take a while to cool so pulling it out and having it look like crap sucks.

I'll get a top view picture with a quarter next to so you can get an idea of the size

This is my first try at pouring a large plastic. Made the mold yesterday and the frog was made in clay first. Haven't had a chance to fish it yet but looking for some feedback. Any input would be appreciated. Im still new to pouring plastics and was testing a few ideas, and this is what I came...

Sand shark would be my guess. Edit: sand shark is a different name for the smooth hound isn't it?

keep an eye on craigslist for it to show up. not just the local but in other near areas as well.

Lizard fish, just went out this weekend and while trying to fish for halibut ended up with about 35 of them... Pain in the ass and they are everywhere...

Grab a Couple hula hoops from the dollar store and set them up in the field... Have him aim for one and every time he scores give him something... Doesn't have to be something tangible, try giving him 50 cents every time he hits the target at distance.

That is a BEAST!!! Amazing job my friend, congratulations to both you and your daughter.

what kind of bass is that??

Sounds like an asshole to me, thanks for the info. I'll be sure never to take a trip on that boat...

Im guessing your fishing on the 21' trophy? Fishhold looks familiar LOL, same as my boat. Great job on the bass

Dang! Baby got back on that sucker, lol. Nice butt dude...

PVC!!! If a thresher charged that your gone!

That is a BEAST of a yellowtail!!!!!

you posted the report in a code lol its to hard to read

Nice report and monster catch man!!

I see a reoccurring theme in these recent reports lol... Floro seems to bee the ticket.

all the pics were great, last pic had something special about it though... nice job none the less!

Sorry I've never tried Lizard fish but I don't doubt it if they taste alright if you bleed them early. Have him try keeping a few and slicing them from the gills to bleed them and once cleaned at home try breading and frying fillets. I don't know how much meat you would get from a each since...

We split all that between 3 families and made all the shark today for a fathers-day party at our house, the sharks went into the smoker this morning. We usually don't keep anything but since we had family coming over the next day we decided to keep for today. All was eaten or saved in the fridge...

Went out this Saturday planing to head out to the islands but things didnt go our way. We left Point Loma around 7:30 and picked up some nice sardines then started to head out until my cousin got sick and we decided to head back into the bay to fish. Tried a few different spots until we got onto...

When you guys say hot sauce do you mean like Tabasco or tapatio? lol I'm confused

you would need to call vessel assist and have them tow that dam monster back into the water :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Firemen have been my hero since I was a kid, they all deserve to have a good day on the water for the hard work they do day in and day out.

Nice fish man looks like it was a fun trip!

I've never painted one before but if its a pvc fabric try a plastic paint like krylon. That would be my best guess but look for other ideas before deciding on krylon paint.

Just my thoughts (I prefer fishing for trout during the coldest parts of the year)... Try and get to lake Jennings as early as they open in January and use the same setup that you have going for it. What I do is use powerbait on a small treble hook with about a 15 inches of 4lb. lead and tie...

Well 2 small lings are better them no lings at all... no need to feel bad about that :D

http://costaricajournal.com/Sierra%20Mackeral.jpg (Random google pic) looks like a sierra mack to me, still a nice catch though :)...

Thanks Par and G Ride, I think im going to try the NW section and if we have no luck then rock-fishing it is, lol. You guys think that frozen small squid and shrimp will work?

thanks guys

Well going out tomorrow and was hoping to find a few nice spots for fish since I am still new to fishing La Jolla. Was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to tell me a couple good spots around La Jolla Kelp to catch a couple. I've seen maps like this one... But wanted to know if the...

Well the jigmaster was given to me as a gift by my dad and had a new spool and newell bars on it. Ordered 15 of the magnets so I'm thinking of just epoxying a washer to the sideplate and adding as many magnets as needed... Thank god I went with 15 of the 1/32 inch disks because now I can adjust...

Has anyone ever attempted this with a older Penn like a No. 155 or even on a larger one like the 500 jigmasterr? I ordered 15 5/8" dia. x 1/32" thick Grade N42 - Nickel Plated Magnets from K&J Magnetics - Products and wondered if anyone has done this... The reels I wanted to do this to both have...

Well, still unsure about tomorrow. Have everything packed up and ready to go out in case I get the break im looking for but still have my fingers crossed.

So today looks clear, any word about tomorrow??

From holding it what do you think that puppy weighted?

I've had the same problem Rippin Lips. Been planing to take the new boat out for 2 weeks now and bad weather is going to put a damper on my day...

really? Should we just stay in the bay this weekend then?

Well was hoping to go out this weekend just to the La Jolla kelp and wanted to know if anyone knew how the weather would be this weekend... report says 40% chance of rain Saturday and 20% Sunday but does anyone else have plans for going out this weekend?

Haha nice job out there man, they make good chunk bait if you don't want to eat them...

Pumping shrimp is the best idea I've seen, The pump is a great investment and will pay for itself in one or two trips. Plus the shrimp are AMAZING bait, best bait you can find.

thanks sickcat, im going to get the boat checked out at sunset before I take it out, just to be on the safe side.

Just cut off their heads and toss them in, those things kill all that swims in front of them so killing them would be a favor to everyone. Plus the other squid will just eat the carcass before it hit the bottom, everyone wins from the situation.

Try Craigslist, amazing that people would sell on that site when the need cash...

yup just ordered them in, had to make sure they were the right sizes and all.

Thanks man, took three hours of sanding and then let it soak in a heavy duty garbage bag filled with one gallon of CLR diluted in water to break up the algae before I painted it.

Well just today got it all sanded and cleaned up and gave it a new coat of marine paint with a hammered finish and this is how it turned out.

Some of the GPS systems have a wheel type speed sensor that works better then that style.

I don't know why but the pictures look way worse then it auctaly is. I can just scratch off the green with my nail. As far as the paint it isn't corroded off as far as I can tell. I'm going to take it to the mechanics and see what it could use. Thanks for the help bud. :)

Sunset will take good care of you, been going their for a while now.

Well just pick up a 2007 trophy pro 2052 WA this week for fishing with the family. Went through the test run and checked everything out on it before the original owner and I took it out on the water to give it a run and I fell in love with it. Everything on it is great including the motor, which...
