Any luck ? I didn't make it out today going tomorrow.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Had a great time with friends. Fished a new area (the one pictured above) to make it more convenient for everyone and it payed off. My friends scored 14 BSP ranging from dinks to 13" and fat!

I was targeting Halibut but got a Leo and a couple nice BSP. I tried a lot of things today including drop shotting camo crack wich produced my biggest BSP of the day.

Here is the Leo, about 3 feet. All the critters were successfully released.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

They have a special sand rake that picks up the trash from the sand. It's towed behind a big tractor. I'll get a photo of it next time.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Headed to Mission Bay. I won't stop till I catch one of those Corvina. :08:

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Nice day only caught 2 SBB.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Using a swimmie?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Yes a swim bait.I think I need a kayak. If I can get out on the water and find some feeding birds I may find the corvina.

That was over two years ago. I'm sure if there were any persisting issues they have been shut down or fined.

Btw in watching some of the videos I've see and heard how crazy they are about cleaning everything. Maybe Tommy is kicking some butt over there.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I am sure it's taken care of.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

We have Santa Monica Seafood here, been going there for years. They also cater to the local eateries. A little pricey though.

This is a great place

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Looks good. That guy filleting the halibut in the video is seriously good at it. I could get the same yield, but not that quickly!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Now I know how to clean an octo puss. Will keep one next time I snag one bottom fishing. Great stuff in a marinara sauce.

Can anybody tell me who makes that big curved fillet knife the pro in the video uses? I got to get a decent one.

Almost forgot --- went to Jensen yesterday looking for pompano with Docs Goofy Jigs.. All the regulars, that were still there, were PO'ed at the newspaper fishing column again. They keep saying how great the pomps are doing but only 3 were caught all morning. Me - zip!

Last 2 offshore tourneys caught and released over 900 sails - again. All time Sail fishing records have been broken twice this season. Guys in small boats are catching cobia in 50 ft of water - amazing.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Victorinox. Dexter-Russel also makes a similar, cheaper one.

Something different about his technique than I've seen before. I was pretty blown away with his speed too!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

On it! :bananas_b

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Went for a couple hours this morning. Waves are pounding, strong surge, current pulling south, and I forgot my jacket! Nada, zip, zilch. One hook up that I farmed and a few nibbles. Might try again tomorrow for Leopard Sharks seeing how I saw several large ones in the skinny. Nice sunrise if nothing else!

Insane Striper fishing in Montauk. I guess NBC sports played the whole episode a few times.
Season on the Edge™

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Those Montauk guys are insane. There are some guys who freedive spearfish there for cow striped bass in conditions that are about as unsafe as you can imagine. Currents that are about 4 times as fast as anyone can swim against, standing 6' waves, and practically no visibility. They get huge fish. Make that guy's whopper look like a guppy.

Yes, whatever you do, don't eat white croaker, unless you like being poisoned by DDT and other toxins.

Over 40 years later they are "examining" ways to deal with it. (We need a face palm emoticon here)

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Well, they've been talking about how to deal with it for decades. The bottom line is there is no perfect solution when you have that much toxic stuff laying around. You don't really want to try to remove it, because that will stir it up and it'll get into more living things. Capping it is better than nothing, but not foolproof. For example, if we have a big earthquake, the cap won't keep it from re-suspending. The basic lesson is that it is way easier to prevent pollution than it is to get rid of it after the fact.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

If people don't want to pay Federal taxes, they won't get Federal services. It's as simple as that. If one thinks that Free Market Economics will solve environmental problems, they are living in a fantasy world. There has to be economic incentives that don't exist in a free market economy for many environmental issues.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

What people other than multi national corps are not paying federal taxes? I pay mine and I want the water tested.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I didn't mean to say people weren't paying, only that paying any more tax seems to be off the table. Despite the fact that our current rates are on average lower than they used to be, and lower than, for example, most European countries. Federal funding for programs like pollution monitoring depends on tax revenue. That's all I meant to say.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

It use to be that certain companies paid for superfund cleanups through payments that ended up in the superfund account. But not anymore. But the fact is everybody pollutes our environment and we should pay enough in taxes to at least monitor it.

Well, I'm glad to see it isn't one of the people I'm friends with who were on the "SAT"!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Mark have you ever dove at Leo Carrillo? If so ever see any big halibuts there?

Is it dove or dived?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Tony no reports from you lately. No fishing?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Never have because I'm spoiled and go out to the islands, where it is normally clearer. But I have been told there are some good spots there for "butts".

I think in terms of proper English, it is "dived", but most people say "dove". But in writing, you start to wonder if they like birds.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I heard there are some nice butt's in Malibu. The weather needs to warm up a bit though

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

So true, so true. I'll be there with my class tomorrow, and we do see the occasional photo shoot at the beach that might involve butts, but it'll be too cold tomorrow!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

No butts, but awfully nice weather in Malibu today. More baby sand crabs than I've ever seen before. Scoop up a handful of sand and you'd get a few dozen. I bet there's a lot of fat and happy fish swimming around after gorging on them.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I've heard the SC's are plentiful right now. Last weekend they were mia, go figure.

I'll be out there on Sunday morning tossing hard baits for Halibuts. They seem to be everywhere right now, maybe looking for new born BSP? Grunions are coming soon too.
