I know it was hard work but the looks on their faces tell a different story! :)

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I think they were seeing $$ every time they flipped one over the rail :ha:

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

San Diego once was ‘Tuna Capital of World’ : Tunaseiners.com- Industrial tuna fishing news from around the world

When they were cooking the tuna you could smell it from 10 miles away.

Did it make you hungry?:ha:

I watched the video there which led me to this one. Glad they stopped doing this:eek:

I missed this posting. Thanks, I was wondering what ever became of this story.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Lets see which one will I use


My favorite one.

:woohoonaner:

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Guess it depends on what your fishing for and where! What is your fave and what is it used for? I can't tell by the pic.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

It's the penn 430SSg spinning reel with 71/2' rod rated for 6lb. I use it for most all light saltwater,corbina,bay bass,spotfin,perch and now I'll use it for shortfin corvina

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Well if it's anything like the old Penn reels it should last forever!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

I see your surf long rod there!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Yes 14' ugly stik. I have some reels that I bought 30 years ago and have never used them,still in the boxes

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread

Sardines fishing boat

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

That sardine boat looks like it's taken a few beatings!

All the tourists went home?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Haha, who knows how old is that thing:ha:
All gone, maybe a group or few arround Chrismass.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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! :)

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Google maps would work for this!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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!

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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.

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

What is this in reply to?

Re: Surf Fishin and fish tale thread
 

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.
