San Diego Surf Fishing the South Mission Beach Jetty
First off, I do not recommend going out in flip flops and light gear if you want to fish off this rough jetty. The waves are very unpredictable, and looking back at it I could have easily gotten seriously hurt by a rogue wave. Always watch each step, some rocks can be unstable and VERY slippery.
I was using a dropshot method on 6lb mono, size 4 gamakatsu hook, and a 1oz weight on the bottom. I had a better pole with me but unfortunately the reel handle broke on me so I had to manage with what I had and ended up to becoming a better experience because of the fight the Yellowfin Croakers put up on light gear!

    Every time someone tells me about jetty fishing anywhere, "good shoes, watch the slippery rocks" you... "Let me grab my flip flops" 🤣

    have you ever used a "32 X 5" popping float leader with 3/4 oz weight on it? that's good for targeting fish from the mid to upper surface near those rocks you can get those from Walmart for like $2

    I thought that was the north jetty?

      @castro4029 3 роки тому

      This is all the way south of mission beach you can go. There are two jetties side by side and yes this is the Northern one of the two but I was mainly referring to the beach.

    finally, a mission beach jetty vid on fishing, dude i walked to the end last summer for 4 hours fishing and didn't catch anything, i had squid, gulp worms, shrimp, and lures, i guess i had plain bad luck that day or water quality was bad or fished on a full moon cycle. nice croakers though, did you salt your bait shrimps btw?

    • @castro4029
      @castro4029 3 роки тому

      It was frozen shrimp from fishermans landing but honestly you could use anything from live mussels to getting your own salted shrimp. The croakers love to go after the shrimp even when I was up near Torrey pines people were catching croakers using the same shrimp meat.

      @@antman619 Bros, I was chatting with divers that go on the end area of that Jetty for recreational dives and spear fishing, they told me to cast left (south) there are lots of calicos, and Sheep Heads! Gonna get my New license this March 2024. But what sucks about the end of that Jetty, a few years back the Army Corps of Engineers with their barge installed those massive boulders of 180* at end.
