Beautiful conditions this week forced me to get down to the beach to find some bait. Still quite a few sand crabs at the beach but most fish have been looking for ghost shrimp, clams and mussel for lunch. I went down to my favorite collection spot and found some great shrimp and just enough clams and mussel to hit the beach.
Along with a crazy looking albino ghost shrimp I also found a dead baby striped bass. Last year was one of the best years ever for striped bass caught from Malibu to Newport Beach. May this is their offspring--I sure hope so!
Found beautiful conditions at the beach with a nice morning high tide and a moderate swell. Cast out my first shrimp and it wasn't long before a nice perch clamped on.
Minutes later a nice walleye made it in. Quite a few bites from walleye and finally a hook stays put.
Just a few baits left and a nice perch jumps on the line for a good fight.
Over the next week you'll find some changing weather with a storm and some wind coming this way. Very little tidal change will keep fishing this week a bit slow. The following week we are back into some warm, calm weather and great tides. Look for a big rebound in surf fishing the week of Nov. 12-18.
Check out this beautiful perch caught by Nathan down at Bolsa Chica State Beach.
And how about this Holloween lobster caught near boston--I might be too scared to eat this one...
