There have been various attempts to restock abalone populations in So Cal with farmed abalone. They haven't been very successful. Too many predators in the big, bad, sea. Seems to be the case for most attempts to restock marine animals with hatchery raised ones.

Mitchel, so now you have good reason to drink more beer. You just tell your wife that your saving money on lures by using beer caps? Unfortunately you just have to drink the beer, otherwise it would be wasteful? :bananas_b

Mitchel ---------- the beer cap video was great. I already got an idea for replacing the blades on a small 2 blade spinner bait for redfish. Also freshwater version for specs.

Also as a teaser above a turned up hook jigjhead for pompano jigging. Got lots of split rings and small treble hooks. Funny, I also have splitring pliers and a hole punch like his. Now I have to buy beer in bottles.

If I catch fish with them I'll post.

You could catch these with a hook tied to a stick,their so aggressive

Rooster Fish

Jacks are a big pain right now. The pompano run with them as they are in the same family. When a mullet school shows up they all tear into it and the water is full of little bits of chomped up bits. When a school of Pomps comes in at the Jensen relief bridge, in the midst of the carnage, you can see 40 to 50 rods bent over of the 100 to 200 anglers - steady until the school moves off. You can catch your limit in an hour - 6.

Half of us have boats at home, me included, and leave them there to join the foray. That time is getting close.

I was there for a while yesterday and saw a keeper snook caught - in the daytime. Much easier to catch at nite.

Some of the jacks are really good to eat -- if you like fish with a bit of oil. Pompano are jacks. Yellowtail are jacks. Some of my Mexican friends like jack crevalle (toro, down there). They dry it and make machaca out of it.

Mitchel, those videos are great. Believe it or not, there are still some boats that fish albacore that way ("jig pole"). One of my good buddies fished on what of those boats for a while. He has some great stories. The ones that make me laugh the hardest are about when they'd get into a mixed school of albacore and bigeye tuna. The average albacore is in the 15-30 lb range and easy for a single guy to throw over his shoulder. The average bigeye is often over 100 lb and can't be managed by a single guy. Instead, he'd get "*******d" -- bent over the railing until the line snapped.

Ante, that's a lot of big Dentex! I thought they'd all been fished out.

PS -- What a clever program this website runs. It automatically changed the word "ass" + "holed" into "******d".

[momoese]

From what I understand today's "line caught" tuna like Daves Tuna is caught by automatic poles. I'll look around for some info.

[venturabananas]

Tony, not a snapper, Pagrus pagrus = red porgy. I was thinking Dentex, which is a another porgy, but I was wrong. You'll remember porgies from FL. The sheepshead on the east coast of the US is a porgy.

Mitchel, a few people do still fish traditional jig poles (though not bamboo anymore) for albacore. See American Western Fish Boat Owners Association (WFOA) albacore tuna North Pacific — MSC (http://www.msc.org/track-a-fishery/certified/pacific/WFOA-North-Pacific-Albacore-Tuna) You are right, most "line-caught" tuna are caught by automated trolling gear, but there still are some jig pole boats.

n the past month there have been many reports of Shortfin Corvina being caught all over Mission Bay and San Diego Bay in water less than 15'. They are bigger this year over 6lbs. Most of them are being caught on live bait many have been caught on lures. I got one last week that was 21" and about 5lbs. I thought I had a barry at first but the fish broke water 3 times before being landed. Many people think that they are short White Sea Bass as they look very similar. The big givaway is their orange mouth and 2 fanglike teeth. Are there any Corvina being caught up North?

Mark do you have any info. on the Shortfin Corvina.Is it an exotic for this area ?

[momoese]

We have a good minus tide on a new moon coming up. Some places that have drop offs that are normally unreachable from the beach will be. Would be cool if I had more bottom detail info of my local beaches. I think I need a yak or boat with a fish finder to find and log these areas. Someday!

Interesting, never heard them called that. I've always heard people refer to them as false albacore. It's fishing school!

[momoese]

The next time we have Santa Ana winds I'm going balloon fishing! I figure I can fly line a mac or a squid way out past the breakers using nature! It would even work better with an outgoing tide. My old 50H holds 450 yards of 20# mono, so that means I can load 900 yards of 40# power pro braid! Game on! :)

That would be fun,how close is the kelp beds ?

[momoese]

Depends where you go. In Malibu there are some within balloon distance.

Google maps would work for this!

[momoese]

Looks like the kelp is about 3-400 yards at this spot where I fish sometimes. You can see the color of the kelp.

Would you make it so you can release the ballon once it's out far enough >?

[momoese]

You could, but then that's polluting and I pull enough garbage out of the ocean already. I'd just tie it on and let the balloon move the bait around. With braid having no stretch and the wind and tide pulling away from me keeping the line tight I should be able to see/feel a bite. I wonder if the balloon rubbing on the braid would pop it? Guess I can do some testing.

[momoese]

Or I could get a kite setup, but that seems like a lot of work just to fish from the sand.

Then there is current to think about too. If it's pulling either way too strong it might not work. Hmm

[Dalmatiansoap]

I'm assuming that "little tunnies" is Baby Bluefin?

I love them, great fish for grill. We call it Lokarda. Its most like Mackerel.

[momoese]

Leos were spotted in numbers today at my regular spot. I'll be there in the morning to see if they want to play!

[momoese]

Ok, so I showed up with my perch rig and shark rig. Plan was to catch perch and use for shark bait. Well the perch were not down with that idea. Nobody on the beach could catch a perch which is highly unusual. I went old school and c rigged size 14 bait holder, split a GCSW dowm the middle, cut in half lengthwise and got a perch on my first cast. I shared this perch with a fellow board member from the fishing forum I frequent, and he hooked a nice Leopard shark within seconds! I helped him land the leo by tail grabbing it. He caught two more leos after that one! I used the same bait, same rigging (he helped me) same spot with no success. The Leo gods were not shining on me today. Awesome day on the sand anyway! :)

This was the second Leo he caught that I tail grabbed. The third was even bigger!

Nice size Mitchel. Sharks have a beautifull fried steaks IMO. Yummy!

All were photographed and released. From what I hear Leos do taste good, so good that they are farmed.

I think I got to lvl 7. I have a magic mouse that makes gaming difficult. I keep moving the whole screen up or down by accident which moves the curser out of the game box and then it doesn't work. I'll have to try on my laptop.

[venturabananas]

Most of them will rust out pretty quickly. Not a lot of stainless steel hooks, and even those will eventually (years) rust away.

What is this in reply to?

[venturabananas]

Some old question about hooks for catch and release when you have to cut the line. Not sure how I got that far back in this thread.

Leopard sharks being farmed? Really, where?

They are super cool fish. Love to catch them with my classes. Gets the students pretty excited.

[momoese]

I heard this from another fisherman several months ago. No idea, maybe an urban legend. I did a quick search and didn't find anything about it.

[momoese]

You can buy them for salt water tanks so I would imagine someone is breeding them right? Or are they catching babies in the wild and selling them?

From what I can tell in a brief search, they are not captive bred and are instead cut out of pregnant, wild-caught females prematurely.

[momoese]

I hope they are not catching the females just to remove the babies, like they remove the fins and trash the rest.

[fishoifc]

hey whats going on here,fishin talk wow I like it. I guess I have been to busy to notice this thread keep it up.
If you guys need a vacation striper action is heating up, and still some yellowfins and anyday now we are expecting huge schools of bluefin.

I will be working(fishing) from N.C., south florida, Keys ,and bahamas next few months keep ya posted on the bite.

Targeted Leos at the same place in SM this morning. Looked good but no leos were seen in the surf or the skinny. Soaked perch strips for 4 hours but no luck. At least the perch got the skunk off!

The best live snook bait is a croaker fished under the bridge. Also snook fishing is better at night. Didn't have time for that either. Will restart the slot snook quest Feb 1, 2012.

I was thinking pinfish

[bananimal]

Pinfish --- right. But if you want a big snook an 8 to 12 inch live croaker is tops.

I use the sabiki rig with 6 hooks tipped with little pieces of saved dead shrimp or fresh lizard fish to catch pinfish, pigfish, grunts etc.

Guys who are serious about big big snook fish 3 inch chunks of whateverfish under the bridges at night. The rig I have for this is a stout boat rod with a Penn Senator 113HN Baja Special with 100lb test mono and a 6ft leader of 120lb mono. Strong 150 lb test swivel and 8/0 circle hook.

The heavy line is for getting the fish out of the pilings and abrasion survival from the cement underside of the bridge. When I say fish under the bridge I mean with the tide coming at you so the bait gets way under. The line gets beat up but you still get the fish. And a pier net is a good idea.

California's Anglers Help Defeat Proposed Regulations that Threatened
Lake and Pond Fishing

Fish and Game Commission rejects onerous fish stocking regulations
in response to strong angler opposition

Your Voice Was Heard!
Over a thousand anglers sent messages to the California Fish and Game Commission (FGC) through KeepAmericaFishing™ and helped defeat onerous regulations that would have reduced freshwater fishing opportunity.

Thanks to an overwhelming response from anglers like you, regulations that would have forced all lake, pond and hatchery owners to perform costly environmental surveys on every lake or pond that stocks fish were defeated during the December 15, FGC meeting.

KeepAmericaFishing is dedicated to keeping these waters open and affordable for anglers, but these regulations could not have been defeated without the strong efforts of anglers like you.

Congratulations and thank you!

Background
During its December 15, meeting, the California Fish and Game Commission considered and rejected onerous environmental regulations, which could have cost well over $100,000 per body of water. If approved, these regulations would have created a substantial burden on private landowners who stocked and managed ponds and lakes on their property.

Businesses that offered fishing on private lakes would have either been put out of business or would have been forced to significantly increase the cost for anglers like you.

KeepAmericaFishing will continue to monitor this issue and work to ensure that threats to freshwater recreational fishing in California are minimized. For more information on this and other issues affecting your right to fish, visit KeepAmericaFishingâ„¢ (http://www.KeepAmericaFishing.org).

Aww, going for short fins! From shore or boat?

From shore.Wish I hadn't sold my last boat sure would like to get back out on San Diego bay. Many years ago we would go fish off the bait receivers . Back in the day we would bring lawn chairs ice chest and sit on the barge and fish.With two poles each it was hard to keep up with all the fish we would hook.Lots of Sandbass, big halibut,schools of bonita and barracuda.Non stop action both poles hooked up most of the time.

[momoese]

Do they still allow fishing from the barges?

[sunfish]

Do they still allow fishing from the barges?

No they stopped that a long time ago.They won't even let you tie up anymore. The only way now is to make drifts.The fish are tight up against the barges so your only in the strike zone for a short time.

[momoese]

Can you anchor and cast alongside them?

No there are some big boats coming to the barges to load up on bait.Anchor a boat and they'll run right over you.Lots of mackerel there also .

That episode was on the other day.Pretty good

[momoese]

Yeah that was pretty cool with the homemade kite. The leaf jig was pretty wild too!

So it never fails, went to the tackle store to buy one gift for a friend and came with a bag of stuff.

Boy, lures are getting expensive. :nanadrink:

[momoese]

Yeah, the Lucky Craft was $23! Good knots are a must! :ha:

I can get them online for $16 each when I buy 3 at a time plus free shipping, but I needed a gift today so I had no choice.

These are the hooks I use for sand crabs

Circles are weird, some swear by them and some say they loose fish even though they know not to swing when using them.

Did you notice the offset eye on the hooks I bought? Great for drop shot rigging so the hold the bait out away from the line.

This will be what you use for shark ?

I use these when fishing bait for croaker

[momoese]

They will be used for drop shotting zoom flukes for halibut. I'm going to try something I've never seen done, tying 3 hooks on at about 8" apart for the little school of fish appearance. Kind of like parachute rig but drop shot instead and with a 3 foot leader going to the weight so they have some height off the bottom even on a flat bottom while surf fishing. Should be fun!

This is drop shot.

Good article. Makes me want to get off the bridges and back to the beach now and then. Trouble with light tackle on my beaches is the blacktips. You won't get your swimbait back or pull in a blacktip on 6 or 8 lb line. Fine for pomps et al.

The water up close is full of them little sharks in season.

That's a nice one.How do you carry your camera ?

[momoese]

I just use my phone camera because it fits in a little water proof compartment in my waders. You can get a special waterproof holder for smart phones that has a window for the camera lens. Some day I'll just buy a water proof camera and keep my phone high and dry, but for right now I have walk up to the dry sand/hard pack, dry my hands on a towel that I carry with me, get the phone out, snap the picture, then carefully replace it with no fish slime on it. Not real fun but in a pinch it works.

Planning to bring home some perch from Leo Carrillo state beach on New Years eve seeing how the water is relatively clean there. We are having a picknic with friends to catch the last sunset of 2011. Started thinking about how I was going to cook the BSP and found this video showing how to fillet them.
