I haven't fished in about 1 year up until last week but it sucks that the forums have seemed to have died thanks to decadent sites like Instaspam and Fakebook and what not so here's a little fishing report for my first week back to fishing. I went to the beach a couple of times, first time I got two big rays on casted baits one was about 60-70 lb and the other was about 40, I released the bigger one since I didn't have my 12/0 with me that day and the second ray a guy walking along as I landed it asked me if he could keep it to eat. So I gave it to him and he took it up to his condo. A couple days later I went back down and there was lots of small baits and lady fish. A few hours before sunset I swam out a couple of ladyfish out to the deeper water and it was dead until after sunset and the swimming made me tired. I finally got a blacktip then released it and the other bait I swam out was torn up by catfish so now I was limited to casting and every bait I put out after that was chewed up by smaller black tips and catfish so I called it a night. Yesterday I went to Big Carlos and netted some pilchards on the shore and then walked out on to the span to put them out while casting a jig for mackerel or a jack and had no success with that. Then finally the guy next to me started catching catfish after dark, and I finally managed to get one myself I cut the head off and set it out into the whirlpool with no weight on. Within 10 minutes I got a smaller jewfish probably between 20-30 lbs and called it a night. Sorry, not many pictures and I see the nickel snatchers have replaced a lot of our pics with their website logo. But it is good to be fishing again finally. Hopefully the website will pick back up and people will quit wasting their time on instaspam and fakebook..you won't find me on there that's definite. Baby jewfish not big enough to be called a goliath This is a tarpon I got off the bridge on the last trip before my break from fishing, it also ate a catfish tail and was probably about an 80-90 pounder.
