Fishing from a chair

is a great surf fishing site for So. Ca. Your old methods are still really good.
Since you'll be relaxing in a chair I might suggest an 8'+ spinning rig w/ 15# test,
sinkers 2-4oz in flat, for rocky areas & pyramid for the sand. There are pre-tied rigs that have swivels at both ends and 2 hook loops. Makes
changing hooks and weights easy. I like muscles the best for bait but squid will stay on longer. There's always sand crabs too. I'm not familiar with
La Mision but I'd think halibut might still be in during your time there. Good luck!
Bad backs suck! |
Russ, thanks much... going to get the boy to get up in the rafters and bring down all the old surf fishing stuff...
The thought of catching a halibut "keeper" would be just too much... usally only got sand sharks, crookers and rocks.... and not in that order..
Looking forward to it, have not been out in a long while... my sons wants to make me up some kinda "potatoe cannon" for casting... which would really
be different concept.. using compressed air with a pressure gague to adjust the force for the cast.
A different approach on bait casting... it still sounds like fun to me
I'll let you know how it goes

I agree 100% about the red and white daredevil spoon. I used to take my big tackle box full of lures up to Ontario and the local Indians used just one
lure, the red and white daredevil, and out fished all of us. If you couldn't catch fish with the daredevil nothing would work. I stated traveling
lighter after that lesson.

I was waiting for at least 2 recommendations on this great all-time spoon...who hasn't used or at least seen one of the red-and-white
Daredevles? It's the #2 lure on my personal all time best lure list. They had been around for over a hundred years and every kid in my
hometown had scars on his hand from them.
Got a great wobble if used with just a snap..and, and is almost every other kind of cast, it advantageous to stay away from a steady retrieve, rather
jerk it about a bit and make some erractic motions...trying to look like a darting baitfish will most often improve your catch.
When camping in the bush as a youth, we used these to shore-lunch fish for walleyes, then in the afternoons toss them into the weedy bays connecting
to the deep lakes...huge pike!

Sorry, it is about 60 km South of Playas de Rosarito and around 30-40 North of Ensenada. Has nice sandy beach La Mision

baitcast , I was there with a girlfriend a hundred years ago. Her dad had a beat up trailer there. No houses and only a few salty old dogs in the
area. But I have a picture in my mind that it was flat rocky shore lines and some sandy coves. Kinda like Laguna but flat. Should be really good.
Woody would probably know the place well.
wessongroup , I'd love to see it now.

baitcast...I think you mean the Five of Diamonds. 5 red diamonds on the spoon surface?
This is a famous northern lure made by Len Thompson in the late '20's. I have a few down in Baja on my wall. Great lures..much like Lou Eppinger's
Daredevles.

So many thousands and thousands of lures.
Like one of my T-shirts showing a large open tackle box says:
So Many Lures...So Little Time.
But I didn't want to get too nostalgic, just thinking of the very best producing lures of all time.
Now for lake trout, I think this one stands out:
Williams Wabler
(I've used it a bunch..from the Great Lakes to the Yukon)
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

If I'm casting from the beach I usually use a Subwalk Rapala, most of the pictures of fish that I've posted were caught on 1 lure. It's pretty chewed
up and should probably be replaced.
If I'm trolling I like 7"-10" skirts of various colors and when I see tuna it's definately the cedar plug. I don't know why a plain piece of wood with
a hook in it outfishes so many other lures but they sure do.
If I see a marlin on top there are several good baits to pitch to it but I've had good results with a rigged Cacawhate........dt

Damn the Flatfish forgot all about that one between Dad and I we must have had 20 or 30 of those,every color combo there was.
That was a super lure for sure,what fun this is.

The old "Devil Horse" and "Nip-a-Did-Dee" were two great top-water lures, had propellers front and rear.
