Fishing Sea

I am intending to go for a Fishing Trip soon. I am very interested in Squid Fishing. Can anyone tell me what are the Recommended Brands of Squid Jigs to use ? Such as Yo-Zuri, Yamashita or Surecatch ... Pls tell me which Size(2.5?) and Colour(Pink?) i should choose as well. Thanks a million:)

I went fishing for squid once and for me it was scary as hell...long story no time to tell it. Not to add to your confusion but there are some pretty good squid jigs out there like these guys: http://www.squidjig.com/
The ones I used during that trip were pretty simple, it was a white cigar shaped tube with prongs sticking out all over the place. A submersible light was used and all we did was jig this lure up and down all night. Caught a few, nothing to brag about. Check out the site and email them, they may have better suggestions for you.~good luck catchin'.

I live in Southern part of San Diego near Imperial Beach, I've gone fishing to that pier and haven't caught anything yet. I've tried muscles, squid and lures. I know it's close to the winter season. So I don't know what to do or what to use. I'm just a beginer.

IB and the south bay usually dont have a good bite. Try Embarcadero pier, its off of harbor drive first light after you pass the convention center. If you search online for joes crab shack in embarcadero, the pier is right next to it. Thats a good pier for bass (spotties and sandies), macks, jacksmelt, sometimes bonito, stingrays, and the occasional shark. I use either salted anchovies or squid, available at the pier tackle shop. Cut the head off the chovie and use the rest, you should get 3 pieces from them, 2 if they are small. Squid also works, just cut the head off, cut open the squid and scrape the guts out, then cut the body into strips and stick those on the hooks. At embarcadero the current is usually fast, you will need 3-5 ounce sinkers. They have sinkers for pretty cheap at the tackle store as well. Then there is Shelter Island pier, take the 5 north to rosecrans street, follow rosecrans for about 4-5 miles and make a left on shelter island drive, its the light right after bank of america. When you get to the roundabout take the right turn, go for about 500 yards and the pier is to your left. At Shelter there are fewer bass but more macks and more bonito. Sharks and stingrays are more prevelant here as well. I use the same setups at both piers. 6-12 lb test, double dropper loop with 2-4 ounce sinkers. For lures i use 10-20 lb test, usually a chrome colored krocodile or a megabait sardine. Swimbaits on a lead head work great too, i usually use orange and red with a chartreuse lead head. 3/4 oz. I dont like mackerel but if you do, shelter will be better, if you prefer bass go to embarc. Keep in mind, at embarc there is metered parking from monday-saturday till 6 pm. $1 an hour, the tackle shop wont give you change. At shelter if you drop your bait around the pier, sometimes you well get small bites, those are the shiner perch, they are bait thieves but if you can snag one of em, use it as bait. They're yellowish silverish whitish, size of your palm or smaller, bonito will tear em up. Of course live anchovies will do better than the cut bait but its not that easy to catch chovies. I have never been but i heard crystal pier in Pacific Beach has nice halibut, friend caught a 32incher there a month ago. Take 5 to garnet, take garnet all the way to the end and thats the pier, they close at 6-7 to the public though. In Mission bay there are some pretty good shore fishing spots. Take the 5 to the 8 west, make a right when you get to the end. After you go over the first or second bridge make a left on vacation drive (where paradise point hotel is), just keep following the small road till you get to the water, this is a good spot for spotties and sandies, heavy seaweed though, i would recommend using no less than 10# line here due to snags. Fish are abundant if you are willing to put up with hang ups. I use salted anchovies here. If you turn right onto vacation (away from the paradise point hotel) and go near the bridge you can cast off of the rocks and catch some sandies and spotties, sometimes stingrays and sharks. there is some seaweed close to shore here too so use at least 8#. Another spot is by Seaforth Landing and the Hyatt Islandia. Take 5 to 8 west, right at the end (ingraham street) then take the offramp to W. Mission Bay Drive, then on your first light (quivira) make a left. Follow that road to the roundabout and then make a right. You can fish on the lifeguard station side or the jetty side. Or if you dont give a damn, go around the fence that says no trespassing, danger and go out on the rocks, be very careful though, one slip and your f'd up. The rocks are covered with dried bird scat. I went there one night, ended up catchin 3 spotties all over 1.5 pound in 15 minutes. its also a good idea to rent a skiff at seaforth landing, www.seaforthboatrental.com .... i think its 80 bux for 8 hours, 40 for 4 hours. 5 passenger max. so you and a couple buddies could just take that out and stock up your freezers. People talk about not eating fish out of mission bay, i dont care. As long as the mission bass population isnt making up the majority of your diet, a little chemicals here and there didnt do anybody harm. Those sandies are good for tacos. If you rent a skiff make sure to have a couple rods setup for trolling or drifting for halibut, those bad boys are biting at mission this time of year. Anyways, hope this helps, you should become a member at www.sdfish.com ... the guys there will help out.


Forgot to mention, for sharks and stingrays, use 20 # test, and do it at night time with squid strips. You can also try the saltwater gulps, just dont use minnows, they have been useless for me. And remember, on saltwater you can use as many rods as you want.

or lure or whatever. i havent caught anything when i fish with my mom and i catch alot of fish with my dad. he uses anchovies and squid to catch trout and catfish. and also squid for perch but what to use for salmon. and how come i cant find anchovies for bait in the stores in washington? all i find is red herring. thats mostly good for dog sharks.
i live with my mom. not my dad

Hello,
A good website for fishing is nicksfishingtips.com
The bait such as anchovies in california are usually found in small bait stores close to the fishing areas. might check out Herb Bauer is there is one in your area.

Best wishes for catching more fish,
Nick H.

Does anyone know if the brand "Angler's Pal" is good for Fishing ? I have used it on certain Kelongs before but the result isnt at all satisfying. Can you please tell me if it is a good brand or lousy one ? I have used the Angler's Pal Sabiki and Squid Lures but i feel that they are lousy. I wonder how do your think , please comment(Your comments are appreciated , write as much as you can) ... Thanks ...

Lucky craft is better

Every so often i pop into poundland to annoy the assistants by asking "so how much is this?" .Oh im a laff a minute me.
Anyway when im in there i'll check to see how many squids i got & if i have £2 then i try to find 2 items to buy, even though they'll probably end up being a pile o pap,although saying that i did get some tasty coconut macaroons once.
Are your lured by the "Everything a £1" also, if so what do you buy & is it actually any good?
Tonight i am bored shetless!
lol Ali- My mother in law noticed that too, i told her to get a dustpan & brush from their for a £1,but she bought one from wilkos for 99p-eeee a squeffing penny cheaper, love that wilko man.

I only go to the 99p shop- I have bought pruning clippers that work o.k: paintbrushes ( 3 for 99p- work fine but can only be used once and then need to be thrown away); insect powder (really works- got rid of the beetles in my kitchen); deoderant; toilet rolls ( 4 for 99p); cream that dissolves facial hair; an AA road map; tins of cat food (3 for a pound, with a high fish content); a plant pot with a robin and leaf decoration; small china plates with pictures of fishes on them( 3 for 99p); a giant bottle of orange squash (5litres); pack of 6 small bottles of mineral water(great for my daughter's packed lunch); and a very useful pepper pot (grinds the peppercorns); oh and a pack of 20 packs of Halls coffee menthol sweets ( good for sore throats even if the flavour is a little to be desired); SO AS YOU CAN SEE I AM A 99P SHOP FAN AND MY NEXT PURCHASE WILL BE SOME BULBS FOR MY GARDEN AND SOME SMALL PLANTS (RASPBERRY BUSH AND GOOSEBERRY BUSHES)....
