It's been a busy July with several seminars, vacations and surf fishing road trips. It was nice to be home for a few days and relax--but that didn't last for long--I had to get back down to the beach.

There is still space in our Carlsbad Seminar on Friday and/or Saturday August 12, 13. Send us an email to reserve your spot: fishthesurf@mail.com Also, go to our seminar page for more info...

Made bait in the harbor and hit the sand. Had a good bite on a few midsized perch and a couple of croaker.

Although I've been seeing a few corbina in the surf they seem to have been prefering someone else's bait. Still good reports of big spotfin and corbina being caught. Some at Huntington and many in San Diego near T Pines and Carlsbad.

Woke up Friday and made my way back down to the beach with the best bait ever in hopes of catching the big one. But the waves were up and the current swirled with the power of a freight train so I made my way back inside the bay.

Inside the bay, I found a couple yellowfin croaker, one small halibut and a few turbo. Nothing for the record books this week but still some darn good fishing.

Next week looks to offer some good tides both in the morning and evening for fishing and catching bait. The south swell created by the hurricane off Cabo should be behind us and allow the current and waves to calm. Remember, the beach should have some new and interesting changes next week so take time at low tide to check out your favorite beach, find the new holes and troughs, then go back at high tide and fish them.
