LooneyTunas Fishing Blog

Well it was my first time out there and we caught a few perch around 2lbs and the rest were returned to get bigger. Lots of Surfers out enjoying the waves. walk alot and couldn’t locate the fishing hole. But it was a nice morning for a walk. Didn’t see to many hook up on the beach nor the breakwall (south or north) but i guess you need to be there all day. ( we were there 4 hrs) Buddy Gohn Always gets fish and nice ones at that but only one nice one 15″ here at Bolsa Chica…

[inspic=110,left,fullscreen,thumb]Surf fishing was GREAT today. (my catch) Found the big Perch… 8 perch @ 14″ / 2 perch @ 15 1/4″ / Corvina’s are still around, Yellow fin crokers, Large shovel nose sand sharks (first time this year) The secret spot location…..Just past Gladstone Resturant on Pacific Coast Hwy going west at the first  pedestrian overpass you see and your there… The hot bait was ghost shrimp and Lug worms. Didn’t have anchovies, mussels, nor plastics….. there were 5 of us fishing and all of us had limits of perch…

[inspic=101,left,fullscreen,thumb]Our secret spot produced this jackpot Perch 15 3/4″ this was one of many he caught on sunday (1/4 mile west of Gladstones resturant on PCH.)

Fishing was good in the morning, then slowed up at 9:00am. I caught a nice Corvina about 4lbs. Great fight with 8lbs line and ghost shrimp for bait. Lots of small perch but its still early in the season, so it will get a lot better when the weather gets right. Something to remember: when the Strawberry are out it’s the right time for the big perch bite… Anyone fish Bolsa Chica????
If you did write us a post so we know if the bite is still good there.
