Secret. Tell no-one. Drift a popular grunion beach, preferably one with mixed sand/ scattered rock structure. Do it a day or two before a run. As shallow as safely possible.

An awesome place to get squid is the wholesale warehouse at the end of 22nd Street landing on Saturday from 3-6:30 AM. The one on the far left always has macks squid and sardines. That said, you can get a kayak scoop of live bait, put it in a old trash can, and throw a gallon scoop of water in...

They discourage fishing in most of MDR. You'll get "securitied" outta most places. Its ok to fish from a kayak or small boat.

Get some fresh plugs, make sure your gas is fresh and clean, and run the gas out of the carb after every use.

BUMP!!! BD, this is an awesome event, well worth even driving from LA. Get your kids in on it.

We were at MDR recently and it had some warm spots. No pun intended.

Awesome Wally, keep us posted! I heard the west end can be ghosty. Let us know if big stuff cruises thru on the meter.

Swings are free. You gotta go to know. Step to your left! What I tell my kids: Get a bait in the water. You ain't fishin', you ain't gonna get bit. And what we used to say a pinheads in the eighties: "Fish or Die!"

I will have to look into the matter and see if there is interest in a rule change. Thanks to all who crafted constructive advice or support. I've seen that article, and hence researched the property history some.

Yeah guys, let he who has never broken a rule cast the first stone.

Checked Muni code, nothing, and nothing listed on park rules website. They started fishing there because they saw some older kids doing so. I have fished it with them, and had no issues. It looks like a park rule with no code to back it up. As is, cities making fishing rules smacks of...

Hey BD, So my fishiest kid and his best fishing buddy have finally found an awesome city lake close to the house. The lake even sets aside ONE day a year for a kids fishing derby. They have enjoyed CPR days of 6+ carp, most above 6 lbs. This is a park lake, belonging to a public school...

Island Tackle usually stocks them deep.

2's are within my "eating size" standards. Marinated in soy, onion powder, and brown sugar. Baked. Yummm!

Any size to those bones? Great job!

K, one of the friends has to be home by 6. Fishermen out! 4 solid bites, 0-2 on hookups. Bonus ducky show.

T minus 3 before we leave.

Get back from picking up some of my kids to find they had another bite. Plus I get a graphic rundown on some ducks "doin' the dirty."

Boys insisted we come back to Harbor Lake. 3 bites, 0 for 2 hookups so far. First fish ran to the tulles, and the second was a comedy of errors in fish mishandling. Lost trying to handline up. Keep you posted. Corn is out, back to rod watching.

Maybe a little egg cluster imo with honey on it for flavor?

Yeah, these guys are funny. My son's friend has this rotating hit list of what he wants to catch. They get distracted, so I have to watch rods sometimes. I tried to impress on them that carp are "nibblers" that need to be hook set. Not self setting like cats can be, or mackerel. They'll...

On the madmacs, lotsa people are running flouro, 80-100 lb, 200 yds behind the boat at 12+ knots. Change the rear hook at least for a treble.

My take from the captain I fish with is this: Artificials for a reaction bite. That's why daytime trolling is so fast. You want them to eat outta instincts. They bite because they don't have a chance to inspect it or can barely see it. Bait bites are for slow trolling, kite, or stopping...

I would go with Mackerel or big sardines down deep before anything else. Probably located just above marked fish. Lure wise, DTX's have potential, as do spreader bars and daisy chains. Just don't forget, you can't really troll bait and lures at the same time. Sometimes it's a "time of day...

Hey guys, freestyle frisbee disc jam at Aviation field in Redondo Beach. See image below for deets. I'd appreciate any support you guys offer. Beginners welcomed too.

Outta Redondo, beeline to SBI with spreaders, daisy chain, or some sea witches. Or follow the canyon edge, and hopscotch those banks. 307, 270, Boot, and back. Or Toyon bay for bruiser bones, then Izors for bass.

Honestly, freestyle is kinda dead in LA. All golfers and Ultimate people. Only youngsters show interest in freestyle recently, but in noncommittal sorta way. Girlfriends and volleyball practices come first. Except my kids. All 4 put in time, and the 10 y/o puts in OT. Plus Spotties:

I do truly believe the regs say 3 miles from the nearest point of land.

A captain I fish with has a Carolina Classic. Nice boat, and although I don't have enough experience to compare it to much, I think there's a reason he brought it all the way out from the east coast. Only thing is, it has twin diesels, and can be a little ass heavy trying to get up to plane...

Delicious haul there!

X2 on the above tip. But they never go far to catch bait. Key is usually along S. Edge of canyon there is upwelling. Usually if you head towards Rocky point in the AM, you'll see birds on happy feeding bait. If that fails, 500 yards off breakwater, or 500 SW of pier, with fish mash as chum.

Yeah, I forgot about that. I don't personally own any two speeds yet. I will vouch for this type of thing being a huge energy saver. The ones they make for Tiagras are a 3 legged clamp, and a huge game changer. Lets you save your arm for the battle, not use it up on kelp clearing. Budget 2...

Awesome to see someone looking at our waters. I'd been thinking for a long time that chloro break near the 270 could be money. Seen them last year or so near the 307. I think the ones caught/hooked near MDR have been transitioning through here: Meaning, that little channel on the bottom...

Just gonna say: Avon makes an awesome inflatable. This is a solid inshore setup. Probably good for better range than most people can handle in a day. My guess is that outboard can take it 60 miles in a day+. Curious what kinda $$$ you're hoping to get?

Pier J, or shoreline park. Likewise harbor park lake is nice. I tried teaching my FIL to cast there. King Harbor is cool too, sometimes bonito climb on for the return trip. Fish chrome.

I think this depends on the fish, and other things in your spread. People do from 50 feet to 200 yards. Depends on speed, how easily spooked the fish are, and how easy it is to steer your boat. Most people have them about 100 yards back, and don't drive through schools, but circle around to...

Poaching spots is half the fun!

Awesome job putting the kids on fish! Some of those are good baked or steamed on a plate, too!

Tunas and jacks are competitive, and stimulated by seeing another feeding or being fought. That's why don't want a jig, and you want that sinker gone. No temptation for another fish to bust you off the one you already hooked and are fighting.

Awesome write-up, Wally! Honestly, I thought it was going to be about how... "BD troll" fish weight estimate= actual weight minus 25%. (Ball size is inversely proportional to boat size ) to the power of 2 for each 100 lbs of fish size. Fish size appears 10% greater for every inch of forearm...

I still vote they should allow us to harvest seals for bait.

Awesome work, Wally! See, you're great at finding the fish!

We saw mixed fish last week. Deal is we are on a difficult moon phase, and the fish we got were plugged with 3" chovies. Bad moon and micro bait.

Taking kids out tomorrow, how was the fishing?

It will make an AWESOME keychain. Or water closet handle. Or hood ornament. Or garage door opener handle. Or bolo tie ornament. Or belt buckle decoration. Or backpack hanger for your kid. Or get another one and make some nun-chuks for after-landing tuna tranquilizers!

Looks like the jury says 80, guessing 60-100 depending on how much time & ow many madmacs you have. We found that the most action was transmitted to the rod tip with straight spectra. I heard the pangas are doing what you said, but with 80 lb, and maybe a short flouro piece.

What color/pattern?

So, I found some. Got a PM, hope they show in time for this wknd.

What about daisy chains? Those are pretty cheap, especially if you make them. Easy to run and stagger too.

Would work on a Saab belt tensioner.

Wow, talk about pulling a rabbit outta your hat! Awesome work!

Captain takes what he wants on biggest bag, 3 ways on the remainder. Biggest fish 50/50 between Cap'n and angler who catches it. High fives and a private reserve beer for everyone else. Side pots even split for whomever pays.

Island Tackle has Mack patterns in 200mm. Just not green. Purple, maybe pink. But when you get to those depths, colors fade, and only contrast is key. Sardine... Good luck! Maybe try all the Turners? Call them. West Coast, it is the most likely pattern to sell out.

Interested in any light you could shed on the topic. Thinking standard is flouro leader 80+ with crimps and possibly a swivel? How fast were your pangas going? Trolling blind, or on bird schools. Any away from the fleet?

What he said, plus some of the San Pedro/LB trips that fish San Nicolas post up nice yellows, too.

Great stuff for Shark Ceviche! @RodRage awesome smoked BFT chunk, I had it for lunch today. Yummm!

No stock.

I appreciate the feedback. Honestly, I've shown a lot of water to a Halco before. The hooks started leaving divots on the side of the plug from flapping back and forth for so long. That was when we had rumors of 'hoo in the channel.

Thanks for the review & info.

Absolutely!

Honestly, I get it. No one knows pre-season what is going to be hot or trendy. I'd rock a different color, but Cap'n has his eyes on specifics: 200mm Sardine Madmacs.

Hey Guys, In ALL of Los Angeles, there HAS to be place that has 200mm Sardine pattern Madmacs in stock? Bob Sands, Ace, Best, Charkbait, Melton,Turners LB, and Island don't. Anybody seen them in Stock? PM me please! I need two.

There's a pair of Fathom 60's in the classifieds.

You could use them as downriggers for slowtrolling mackerel and other stuff. I've been thinking deep trolling speed jigs or nomads or daisy chains or swimbaits could be interesting.

During the winter we decorate the lemon tree out in front with rockfish & striper skins. I tell my kids it is a "Fishmas Tree." A neighborhood beagle loves them, and won't give them up if she ever gets a hold of one. It looks pretty festive, and only stinks for a couple weeks.

Look, why is everyone hung up on it being a leadhead? T-rig with an egg sinker. Use wherever your go to small trolling hook is. Paint your egg, or use glow in the dark eggs.

I second the Saturday AM San Pedro market. East End of 22nd street. Great prices, whole fish. Be there before 6:30 am!

We had a run of big bones a couple years back. We were fishing big line, so no worry of losing the fish. When a furbag would swim up near us, we undid the bail and let the fish sound, while driving away. Once away, we'd flip the bail and angle the fish back up. If needed, we just drove away...

Honestly, Santa Barbara Landing is the easiest to do. The Stardust is gonna be the easiest boat to get on. The rock fishing is awesome, great quality. Rockfish are awesome breaded and deep fried. I think they'd be awesome Kentucky fried and slapped into a po'boy. Just rent rods the first...

Can you "walk the dog" with these? Looks like an oversized crappie jig. Been looking for something similar.

No clearance. Good turnover. Best selection is at E. LB on Carson.

Awesome grade of fish!

Just loving the look on Mr Grumpy-pants face in the background there. Looks like he just realized there was a sardine in his boot. Just jelly, methinks. Awesome job on tasty fish!

Awesome job, Cody & Co. Tagging & bagging like always. Just curious, anything you would have done differently if you'd been at the helm? Different break, zones, or game plan?

I think a blimp/ mini zeppelin with a gyro stabilized image scanner could give them greater spotting capability.

Outside of the breakwater bites in big swells. Try a dark scampi or swimmy. Macks would been possible money at Rocky.

Also "mountain lakes" in the Lytle creek area. Or just go the extra mile for free biggies: Big Bear Lake. If you are part of a youth organization you could sign up to fish whitewater hatchery?

The ones that aren't missing guide rings. Could be: Ugly stik Sabre(old) Sabre(Chinese) Fenwick Contender Conolon Calstar Or Daiwa f/w stuff for SWRF

There's more info here than you realize.

The search bar is your friend. May wanna look at past "boat ho" posts, and see what they expect around here.

I have two of their green bass reels. Just threat them like the parts are one of a kind, and don't overfish them, and they work ok.

Like asking superman if he leaps tall buildings: You guys employing any seal-evasion techniques? Or just last minute/no see-um seals? We sometimes let big bonito sound while driving away, and then put the reel back in gear once the bone is 40 ft down, and angle them up. The seals act kinda...

Parts are gonna be hard to find. Lube it, put some weak braid on it, and use for rockfish or as loaner.

Here's hoping you score!!!

Puerto Vallarta? Palos Verdes? Palo Verde (nuke plant)?

Lack of kelp is a known detriment to juvenile fish stock recruitment. More hiding places = more fish left for us to catch!

What worked really well was a belly chunk of spanish Mack. Maybe also making a puree of sardine, or keeping blood from bled out macks to flavor up the bait even more.

Ever wonder what mackerel & 'dines are good for??? Upconverting to more elegant protein! So, after some youtube inspiration, my fishiest son & I decided to launch a stripers or bust mission during the weee hours of Saturday morning. I have to say he is a real trooper. He rode shotgun...

To clarify things a little (any authorities are welcomed to correct me), we are comparing Polaris's to Pangas. The BFT fishery of the Avalon tuna club era was based on chartering a dory out of Avalon, or parts near there. Some were so small as to have oars and a sail. The elegant guys had...

Actually, I think the O.P. is perfectly fine with his plan of action. I'm sure there's more than a couple decent people on the board that can't afford a trip outta San Diego, or have a lot of fish taco scarfing children, or are underemployed. Although all the "opinions" are great, and surely...

Kayak. Yeah, I said it. Many shark guys put the rod/reel in the sand spike with light drag, and truck the bait out in a kayak. Especially for bigger sharks, allowing shorter rods, and better fighting leverage.

Feel free to elaborate??? :cheers:

Are we talking about the late John Dilaha? Tall guy, had grey hair by 1990 or so, and fished an outright for sharks?

Great Job! How big were the bonito? (Asking for a friend!) Guessing less than 24" fork length? Any biggies?

They went back again yesterday. Stomach contents indicate something is spawning in the south bay area. Could be the sardines in the area. 4 y/o with a Mack on bait...

I started pretty much the same way. I was just pissed off I didn't try fishing by myself even before I was 11 or 12. I always loved making bait as a kid.

Gotta send that into W.O.N. for whopper of the week.

Did you buy them both or not for sale? I like that one with the lights.

My fishiest kid just hit double digits this month, the big "10". I told him he could go to the pier and fish by himself if he takes a cell phone with him. He went today, after hearing south bay macks are biting. We showed up later, wife thought he would have 5-6 fish. He had 25! I made the...

We saw bait on Saturday, but most of it looked like smelt. You guys see anything different?

The way I usually drive, notsomuch.

I won't bore you guys with a huge story. We left at gentleman's hours with frozen bait to launch in bathtub conditions outta Cabrillo. Trucking around the west section of we see great water clarity, and my most intrepid nugget spots a whale 10 yards off the stb'd side. Looked like a yearling...

The unsanded are going to be marginally stronger. Roddy gatortails, Ugly-stick tigers, some Penn chasers, and some off brand catfish rods have an unsanded finish. It's function over appearance. Sanded & finished= pretty, easier to clean. Unsanded= meat rod, stronger, harder to wrap ( zip...

I do what I can. Especially if fish are involved! I'll let you know if they work for stripers. Castaic tomorrow!

Took two of my nuggets to Cabrillo beach near San Pedro to gather a little potential striper bait. Little did we know... We were in for an episode of "Grunions gone Wild!!!" Still here. Kids a blur as they run interceptions. Quote "Papa, it's like we hit the Super-Lotto!" Any of you guys...

Great fishing there!

So, part of why they sell is this: § convenience § no sales tax § no tackle shop temptation § supply chain woes § "free braid" § goodwill towards others § other supply/demand aspects

Benefit of the drop-shot is working a stationary spot after a bite. The weight stays in one spot while the bait gets jiggy. Just to be the devil's advocate... What about dip netting some micro bait, and fishing it on a single dropper, drop shot style? Just to locate them. ; D

We wanna see him make scrambled eggs! From start, to finish line!

I could be totally wrong here but... Why not just run a bigger pump feeding both tanks off one side, and put the puck on the other side where the second pump was? Seems like a pump/tank won't benefit from possible cavitation in front of it from possible puck placement?

Wal-Mart and Big 5. Carson street Wal-Mart always seems stocked. Maybe check Dicks too. That said, I think Dan doesn't sell, or maybe doesn't get his products picked up by local mom & pop tackle shops.

Nothing saying you can't do an enclosure on aluminum. I've long thought about getting an open bow with a walk thru console and just putting a canvas over the whole foredeck. Why not with aluminum too? It's not a cuddy, but still could work in middlin' circumstances, preserving economy.

Seems like it's been slow since the sewage spill.

Skunk spotting last weekend. Ninja bass last night. Picked up Father in law at Hospital after he was hit by a car today. Saw sunset with "Dirt Clod" in background tonight.

When I was a kid, 12lb got me bites. But given the size of fish in the big bay, maybe 15-20 flourocarbon.

I was eating with my kids one day, and my 2nd youngest said he was full. I told him I knew he was full. He asked how I knew. "Your eyes are brown, son." He said "that's why you're always hungry, Papa. Your eyes are always blue."

My go to when prospecting for bay bass is light (6) line, a 1/4 or 3/8 oz worm head sinker, a bead, a size 2 or 4 mosquito hook (not circle), and a 2" gulp camo sand worm. It's like a plastic, bait, and scent all in one very compact package. I will substitute a squid strip for the gulp...

Anyone tried diapers? They contain a super-thirsty dessicant, and are cheap as can be at Wallymart or Target. Rolled up, they could possibly plug a breach in the hull in an emergency. Disposable too!

Thinking a car-top livingston is the most versatile thing. Unless you're ok with a shark donut? We rock an Avon 2.85. Livingston will resist wind better, and track straighter in a big wind.

Given your background posts, I'd say this: https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/boa/d/bonney-lake-livingston-with-wheels/7416489311.html Contact people like this with your trade offer. Stealthiest boat u can get. Put generous carpet and a camo paint job. Hunting boat?

If it's fish your "sneak" is around, a canoe is tough to beat. Less water displacement than a boat. Only thing stealthier to fish is a kayak or sup. Regardless, I think most people are going to want "plus cash" for a boat.

Big 5 has sabres at that price when they go on sale. Swap meet might do it too.

Honestly, I can see where PNW fishermen would be concerned. Washi already reams the angler of opportunities in favor of the natives. With albie charters running $500 per head per day, and weather windows being short, I'd be concerned as a customer or charter operator. Likewise, I have to...

First off, the bagel chips are the best part of the whole thing. I actively ferret them out and eliminate them first. I'd take out those stick things, and put in French fried onions, or Chile mango bits.

Just saying, if every nation gets an equal piece of pie, and everyone watches to make sure no-one takes a huge piece, there should be enuff (quota) for everyone. If politicians see the taxes & GDP from rec. Albies is more than commie Albies, we should get a fair shake of the quota.

Garlic, my best advice: Do three test jars. Get 3 cloves. Put them one by one on a cutting board under a tablespoon or broad knife, and smack the top of the stainless to crush the garlic underneath. Peel off the skin. Cut the first one in half, half in first jar. Throw whole clove crushed...
