Hey Tony you didn't eat that Spotted Bay Bass did you? I've heard they are not very good eating.

Looks like at least your leader is original Stren right?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

No I let it go.The line is Bass Pro Shop's brand,I have enough to last a long time.It's pretty good stuff.

I love it when people make videos of themselves with an protected fish

Got 20 spools of BPS mono. it's as good if not better than any I've used.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Hey kid, nice black sea you have there, here your 1 million dollar ticket. Enjoy the fish! :ha:

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I've seen it, funny video, but I can't imagine the toxins in those fish.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I had to unhook a pelican once. Casted a terror eyes out from the Ft Pierce jetty and it never hit the water. So I start reeling in and felt resistance. Looked up and a big fat pelican had tried to snatch it while airborn. He was hooked and landed back in the water so I had to walk 100 ft back to the beach. Slowly reeled him in to the surf. Took 20 mins. Got another guy to grab his wings and beak while I got the hook out of his belly. He was lucky - hook was only skin deep. Released him to get in trouble with someone elses lure.

Were you on the water? Any feeshy pics?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Fishing from shore.Didn't catch anything not even a bite.It's pretty hard to catch much from shore .

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Those short fins are out there somewhere!

Maybe some surf fishing is in your future. FYI, I think your halibut spot at Scripps is closed now.

You'll get em soon enough.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

nice

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

It's pretty but it needs some fish swimming around .

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Yup, its hard to find fish in Harbors. To poluted IMO.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Without fish in it may as well be a swimming pool as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Looking at the map doesn't help I guess I'll need GPS to go fishing.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I'm pretty sure the DFG has a smart phone app for the mlpa's.

Edit: this mobile link is what I was thinking about.

In addition, a mobile phone-friendly MPA website can be viewed on any smart phone at California Marine Protected Areas.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Just to be clear it's not an app, just a mobile friendly version of the site with an interactive map.

Have you tried it yet Tony?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Not a fan of the Bing map. F'ing thing won't slide properly. Edit: it doesn't slide, you have to enable the pan buttons.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I don't have a smart phone and don't want one

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Yeah Scripps is toast.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Some parts you can take fin fish. I wish they would show the pier on the map so I can tell whats what

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

This is nice ?

You can see the pier in this map.

SMRC Doesn't this mean fin fish may be taken ?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

The rules vary by area, not type. On the DFG site it doesn't even say anything about Scripps.

Look, the box is empty.
California Department of Fish & Game, Marine Life Protection Act, Existing Marine Protected Areas in California: Regulations

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

SPECIES PROHIBITED For Recreational Take

Under that column it says nothing. Does this mean there are no prohibited species?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

The boundary was about 200yards south of the pier . I'm not sure if it was moved or not. Both areas were already reserves put they may have moved the red zone north 200yards. The halibut hole is in the blue but the bsp and corvina areas are in the red.I think surfers had something to do with this sh$$

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Permitted/Prohibited Uses: Take of all living marine resources is prohibited except the recreational take of coastal pelagic species, except market squid, by hook-and-line only, and take pursuant to operation and maintenance of artificial structures inside the conservation area per any required federal, state and local permits, or as otherwise authorized by the department.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

So I can fish for anchovies for my pizza ?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I think so, just don't "by catch" any halibuts.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

What lb. test is good for anchovy ?:goteam:

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Very fine thread should do the trick. Actually I think they only allow dip netting. It's very confusing.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Yeah I read that the other day. The comment section is interesting, quite a bit of drama there. I'd say there is a good chance for some misunderstandings and possible violence on and off the water in and around the areas due to these people who think they are the gate keepers.

Oh wow, just went to grab one of the comments and they are all gone, or am I just not seeing them?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

WTF? All the comments are gone. Wow it must have gotten even more heated after I read them.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Got an email from the author, even he doesn't know what happened.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I don't think keepers should be trying to enforce anything, they don't have any common sense and there will be problems

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Squeaky wheel gets the grease, comments are back up! You might have to clear your cache to bring up the site with the comments though.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Yep more drama. If these watchers, keepers, vigilantes, whatever you call them get up into some of these fisherman's business it could get ugly.

As you see the lines are not clear, there is no app that beeps to tell you when you've crossed a line, and some areas are different than others making it tough for fishermen and the watchers.

I don't have any issue with them doing what they feel is right, but they better be careful! I've read some posts that are very inflammatory and even threatening. :lurk:

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I have no problem with them calling the DFG. but that's all they should do

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

When I was in Florida a Heron would follow me when I went fishing. He would stand about 6' behind me and when I pulled a fish up on the dock he speared it and flew off. Ever time I went fishing there he was behind me waiting to steal a fish.

Jeremy Wade I think this guy lays it on a little thick at times. I guess he has to exaggerate to make it interesting ?
