Surf Fishing Malibu 11-08-2013

Back in LA, I decided to hit up my favorite city to fish in, Malibu of course! I arrived at a little before 7:00 AM to absolutely gorgeous weather! Got my first and only fish of the day, a nice sized (12"-13") Calico Perch at 8:03 AM. Nothing else after that until I left around 11:15 AM. I got a little bored since fishing was slow and played around with and made a little spread of all of the crustacean shells lying around on the beach, which you can see below :).

Hobson Beach 11-22-2012

What better way to celebrate Turkey day than a day at the beach with the family? Didn't do too much fishing, but did catch a nice 13" Black aka Buttermouth Perch, a small Cabazon and a small leopard shark fishing for a couple hours with squid. Fishing, food and family, what more could I ask for?

Surf Fishing Malibu 10-27-2012

Another Saturday, another day in Malibu doing what I love best. Arrived a little before 8:00 AM, had my first fish at 8:15 AM, a nice calico perch that taped out at a little over 11".

Back to fishing and I had a very small leopard shark (released) around 8:25 AM. Kind of quite after that for a while, catching one huge rock crab (released) until 9:45 AM when I landed my first grass rockfish on the day that taped out at a little over 12".

Back to fishing and at 10:05 AM I hook up with a nice 13.5" grass rockfish :). Back in the water and quite for a while until 11:15 AM when I landed another grass rockfish which was just shy of 12" and bleeding badly.

Wife arrived at Noon to pick me up. Another great day fishing in Da Bu. All fish caught on squid or bonito / squid combo. High tide was at 8:15 AM or so.

Hobson Beach 02/12/2012

Brian and I hit up the rocks just North of Hobson Beach fishing from about 11:00 A.M. to about 6:00 P.M. We were using mainly sand crabs as bait but I did also try live peppermint shrimp, squid and mackerel chunks as well. I caught one dink BSP and Brian caught four medium to small BSP and one 11" calico surf perch (returned, because it looked to be pregnant). The main reason for going there was to harvest muscles, but the swell did not cooperate so that will have to wait. Pics of our fishing area and the calico Brian caught below.
