I haven’t fished in two weeks and was a little worried about the weather that had just passed and what the conditions might be like out there. Well to say the least we lucked out on the weather and on the fishing. The water in close to shore was very green with all the rain we have had, but as you got about six miles from the beach things really cleaned up. We ended up with eight Blue sharks averaging about fourty pounds with a couple pushing eighty. After being worried about not finding fish because non of us sharkies had been out in so long. It just goes to show you how many sharks are out there and what a great resource we have right here in our backyard. Oh by the way it was sixty five degrees with a three foot west swell and at most ten knots of wind. What a day, thanks to heidi, Art, Gary and Gary from our local fly fishing club for a great day! Photos to come.
This winter has been amazing for shark fishing off the coast of Southern California. San Diego in particular is on fire with large blue sharks and the occasional small Mako that are still around this deep into the winter. The fishing has been so consistent that i have not had a trip with less than two sharks and the trips are averaging five fish from 50 to 100 pounds! Did i mention the weather her in San Diego. I really think that our winter weather although a little cooler is better than in the summer at least for fishing offshore.
Wow I had some great shark fishing in the last week! you can’t beat the winter weather in So Cal or the fishing for big Blue sharks and the occasional Mako. I love the winter out here because of the lack of crowds and peaceful nature of the ocean on the calm cool days with the sun keeping you perfectly warm.I had some great young ones on the boat that were fired up to just see the sharks all around the boat let alone catch a bunch. you have to experience this fishing in San Diego if you haven’t yet. If there is a bunch of snow on the ground outside your door than get down here to warm up and get into some great fishing while your at it.
I had a father and two sons out on the bay today and we crushed the spotties. I lost count but we had to have had about 70 fish and some big ones to!
I took out a family of four yesterday and we got into the Blue sharks big time! We went 11 for 11 on the Blues from 20 to 100 pounds. We also chummed up two small 20 pound Makos which is interesting this time of year. I think we are getting into an El Nino season, this summer could be really good.
We have Kelly Galloup coming into town on January 13th from 5 to 9 P.M. Kelly will be signing books and dvd’s as well as tying flies. after the meet and greet he will be giving a seminar on streamer fishing for trophy trout. This seminar is a must see for anyone who wants to catch the trout of a lifetime. The cost for the seminar is $15 and is well worth it for all the knowledge Kelly has to give. You can call the shop or just come in for details and to pay. We will also be having a big raffle with plenty of great items. The raffle tickets are five dollars each. we hope to have a great turn out as Kelly is truly a living legend and a great guy.
I will be giving a Blue Shark Seminar to the San Diego Fly Fishers club on Monday night at 7. I will be going over the tricks and techniques for catching Blue sharks on the fly.
I took Ed Zeralski out on the bay with Tommy Gomes a few weeks ago for an article that Ed was going to write. Here is the link to read the article.
