Lucky Craft saltwater pros Bryan and Greg Watts are in Florida Bay to demonstrate how they fish with the CIF Flash Minnow 110 Jerkbait.

After our first day of Salmon fishing, Skeet welcomed me to his lovely home. I had an extremely delicious steak for dinner and stayed in his gorgeous guest house. This is an annual occasion. Day 2, we did the same thing as the first day, threw in some baits… But… I couldn’t catch anything… why…? I kept trying different methods and while everyone else is catching a lot I couldn’t catch anything for 3 hours. I got couple bites, but that was it… why!? After trying for a bit more, I realized something – after fishing so much the day before, the position of the hook shifted on its own. Not good… this isn’t Bass fishing, Salmon fishing has its own ways of catching. I obviously got too comfortable fishing and went back to using techniques to fish Bass. I stopped using the sweeping method. But now that I know that I won’t make the same mistake! Afterwards I continued to catch at least one in every 2 casts. Salmon fishing is great!!

I went to go see Skeet in Sacramento again this year. Last year we went to a lake near his place and fished some Spotted Bass, but this time we went Salmon fishing. We used
fishing floats which were sliding bobbers and for bait we used something like a salmon roe. It was a little disappointing that we couldn’t use lures, but I gave it a try anyways. Bait fishing is amazing! On my very fist cast I got a hit!! And I continued to catch more after that!! Catch after another!! It was great!! It was extremely fun… (To be continued…)

I guess just about every guy who has a little girl ends up taking one of those father-daughter trips when they reach their early teens. It’s great time to bond before she gets a little older and get too cool to hang with her daddy.

I got a call from a friend the other day and he told me he caught a 26in Halibut in Bolsa Chica. So I immediately headed there the very next day. It was my first time fishing here so I wasn’t quite sure what the water condition was like, but the image shown was what I first saw and it just looked perfect for Halibut fishing! There was good water flows, run ups, rip currents, and the terrain here is constantly changing which makes it easier for the baits to gather. And this means there is a higher chance for me to catch some Halibuts! I had high hopes this day!
There wasn’t too much change in tide on this day and the water level stayed pretty stable. However, the river water came in pretty strong and the lure had the tendency to drift away, so I needed to cast by adjusting to the water flow. That ended up making it very difficult for me to catch anything. In Long Beach where I usually go, there is barely any water flow so I had more control over my lure, but I realized that depending on each the location the condition is quite different… lesson learned. I wasn’t able to catch anything this day, but I am definitely coming back here again next time.

Catch result: 0

Sandy’s one point advice:
I wonder if this little section will become popular? Well, I’ll just wait and see and continue to write it. To all the people who I gratefully want to thank for reading my blog and if you have any questions on California fishing and/or fishing locations, please don’t hesitate to ask! I’ll be waiting~.
This time I will talk about the parking situation in Bolsa Chica. Here it is a California state managed parking lot so there is a fee of $15 for a day. It is quite pricey… But there’s other options! You can purchase an annual pass for $125 and you have unlimited parking for a year!! Not only that, you can use that pass anywhere that is considered state parking! How great is that! With this pass, I’m going to continue to challenge fishing in different places such as Malibu, Huntington Beach, Corona, San Onofre, Oceanside, and San Diego where the parking pass can be used in all these locations! Now I don’t have to worry too much on parking. It can not be used in Long Beach or Redondo Beach so please keep that I mind.
