Since i don't see much about the left coast here, i thought i'd throw up some pics from the last year and a half when i lived in San Diego and fished the coast. just a pic thread.
for reference in size, I'm 6'7" 245ish. and she is 5'5"
California bat ray.
making bait was super easy
white seabass
calico bass
average shark bait with a 10/0 gama J hook
the leopards
horn shark.. blurry.. sorry
soupfins
spotfin croaker
Where are the corvinas, surf perch, guitarfish and round stingrays?
How did you catch the white seabass, on your shark rig?
And is your hook point in the middle of the mackerel?
Ever miss a hook set because of that?

the white seabass was caught on fresh dead squid while targeting bass. and there aren't any inshore monsters in california. besides whites. you might get a decent 7gill but its like a nurse.

And to think if they posted on here they would "make history"...
if i catch one of those 4ft Whites sharks in that beach i would put a hook in hid butt and let it swim back out..............still great catches but come on in a beach full of Whites you can catch a 10+

santa monica bay is a great white nursery. sure, one week out of the year you might be able to catch an adult but the other 12 months its full of juveniles to 8ft. and they were clearly over 4ft.
GW are born at 6' so a 4' fish would be hard to find
