I found Warbaits at SquidCo and purchased 2 neckbreakers and 4 weedless jigs, 1oz and 1.5oz with 5” swim baits to target Calicos. They look very well made. Can’t wait to give them a try.
Thanks!
Just started fishing out in the bay. Caught my first spotty in Coronado. Like the videos.
You SHOULD have a sense of accomplishment. As an enthusiastic fisherman, it’s always fun to observe another enthusiastic fisherman doing what he does best. Please keep the videos coming!
Thank you!
Super cool video thanks
Sculpin are some of the best eating fish in the ocean!
The way you look at sculpin says it all😂😂
yeah, don't want to get stuck again
Dope content as always! Thanks!
Good stuff A!
Thanks for been expecifict on the baits you are using all that information really helps
Thank you for the support!
Another good one. Quite instructive. "Deep" is evidently relative to where you are. Enjoyed it. Thanks.
True. Thanks for the support
Good stuff!! Killing it my dude!
Thanks!
Great video and fantastic products.....can't wait til my order comes in 🤤🤤
Thank you. It went out today!
Good fishing afran! Gonna check Long Beach once again this weekend, I struggled this past Saturday, but caught bass, and I caught them all on your baits!!!
Thanks for the support!
So Rad ! 🤘
Enjoyed the session!!
Thanks Lee! When are you getting out there?
@@WARBAITS We will get out when they open parking at Mission Bay!!
That double rig is money! Doubled up on an 18 inch and 14 inch spottie this morning using one!!
That’s solid! DRig is such a great way to get bites
Great video!
San Diego Bay is my all time favorite place to fish.
Try fishing the deep channel by the Coronado Bay Bridge. Do it early to avoid the boat and ship traffic. Dropshot and larger baits work great!
Nice job catching that big Sand Bass 4:40 and Spotted Bay Bass 7:10 dude! Great job!
Thanks!
Nice
Those edits are getting good Afran!
Thanks!
I watch fishing videos when I can't go fishing, going this Saturday out of Shelter Island.
Thank you!
I’d like to see ya try for bonito in the bay! Ever try throwing top-water when your out there??? Great Vid ! Great baits! Tight lines..
Try throwing giant slug baits on a weedless hooks on top of Kelp beds action is incredible but snags are inevitable still the fight Calicos put up in the grass is epic! 👍🏽
Maybe one day!
Man I love Sculpin, probably one of my favorite fish now a days. Shoulda taken that bleeder home for tacos! Love the info as always, it's like your tutoring us!
How are you cooking it? Fryed?
WARBAITS FISHING usually beer battered!
@@WARBAITS sashimi 👍🏽
I wouldn't eat anything out of San Diego Bay lol
monkeysnott definitely limit yourself haha
Great video!
I see most people fishing near Shelter Island closer to the mouth of the bay. That's fine. For sure there are lots of fish there. Many people might think that is the only place the fish are at. They couldn't be more wrong. If you have a kayak launch at Tidelands Park or if you are fishing from a boat launch in Glorietta Bay and use your fishfinder to locate the deepest part of the channel under the Coronado Bridge. This is a super early morning proposition with incoming tidal movement. If you are one of those guys that shows up at 11:00 A.M. to start fishing, forget it. This isn't for you. The boat traffic will be so heavy it won't be safe. The sailboats will be starting to come out like a bunch of maniacs! If you are there early though find the deepest part of the channel closest to the Eastern shore. Get a 7ft rod with with lots of backbone and a good baitcasting reel.
No coffee grinder spinning reels and no buggy whip rods! Seriously. Except for very light line there is no reason to use a coffee grinder in saltwater. If you use one for anything other than 6lb test, put it away and get a baitcasting setup and learn how to use it. You will never go back to that spinning reel again, except for light line, believe me.
I'm an oldschool guy, so I use straight 10lb-12lb mono line. Tie on a 1/2oz red jighead with a 4" Berkley Gulp New Penny shrimp. Not 2". Not 3". 4"! Position yourself on the North side of the bridge. Keep your head on a swivel for boat and ship traffic 1000% of the time. Big ships come through there all of the time as well as smaller boats. Keep your eyes peeled all the time for boat and ship traffic and be ready to move out of their way immediately.
The tide will push you South back under the bridge. Cast out North a long ways and let the bait sink to the bottom. Put the reel in gear with a tight drag. Reel the slack out of the line and let the setup drag along the bottom as you drift back. When the time comes you will need to set that hook hard! A coffee grinder and a buggy whip rod won't get this done. If you feel something like you are hung up on the bottom reel and swing for the fence! I have caught a lot of massive spotties this way. Working that same rig (4" New Penny Gulp Shrimp with a 1/2oz red leadhead) along the bottom in water from 10ft to 40ft I have caught massive spotties, sandbass, sculpin, corvina, way past legal halibut! You name it! This is a real fishfinder setup for San Diego Bay.
Also try drop shooting with a 2oz torpedo sinker and a 2" gulp shrimp or a small Zoom Fluke about 18" up the line from the sinker on light line (6lb-8lb test mono) in that deep channel under the bridge. The only thing I ever fish with a spinning reel is 6lb test.
Some days you will catch and release so many spotties you will lose count drifting that channel. This is a great place to take the kids fishing in the boat. They won't be bored I guarantee you!
Thanks for this great info!!
@@WARBAITS
You bet. I love your channel!
I live up in North County.
I have fished San Diego Bay for years.
It has to be the best inshore fishery on the West Coast. You never know what you might catch on any given day.
@@romeoalphafoxtrot9517 Spotted Bass , Sandy, Calico , Barricuda , Croaker , Halibut, Midshipman, the mighty Mackeral, Lizard fish even lobster on artificial lures are what I have caught in San Diego bay. Oh yeah and everyone snags a ray.
Damn, can’t find those slugs online lol. Dope video! Miss fishing the bay with my yak.
You can also you a FLUKE. You could possibly give Dana Landings or Fishermans Landing a call, they might ship
Sculpin master
This is truth
🔥
Nice day ....you are a lot braver than me with sculpin ...
Those little vipers!
What rod and reel setup were you using for slow pitching at the beginning?
Hey Afrin, I have the same problem with the Nocqua battery... the vendor said upgrade the charger, it worked for me.
Yes, figured out this is the issue. I made a change on it. Possible video on the upgrade
Jelly agrees
Nice session👍👍caught a bunch of monsters. Seems more sand bass than spotties this season. BTW what fish finder are you using?
Just got a shearwater 125.. About to fish the bay. Is a pfd mandatory? I hate em
Another great video. I am moving to SD in July and thinking of getting a yak. What are your thoughts on the Hobie Pro Angler 14? Thanks again for posting.
Before you get the 14, try the 12. I'm a big guy and the twelve handles really well and better than the 14 when in the wind. Jim
Love it. I had the PA14 last year. It is the ultimate kayak, nothing can match it. Visit FAST LANE Kayaks in Mission Bay for a demo
@@WARBAITS Will do and thank you for the tip ;-)
@@jimrieff8962 Thank you Jim, I will try them both for sure.
Sculpin are delicious! Surprised you didn’t keep that big one.
Next time!
Abu Revo Beast 40 HS and Ritual Angling Swimbait Rod
are mano swimbaits coming back?
I noticed in Dana point all the sandys are all like your first one! The dark color with the brighter orange. I also wonder why
Good question! It's either food or the spawn I'd guess
WARBAITS FISHING yeah I was also thinking spawn
As a 3rd generation San Diego native, and an S.D. Bay angler since the '60s, I can testify that the California scorpionfish (Scorpaena guttata) that we commonly refer to as sculpin is indeed one of the finest eating fish in the bay, and possibly on the SoCal coast. In its heyday, the famed Anthony's Fish Grotto even had it on the menu in the early to mid-1970s. Just be sure to clip off those dorsal and pectoral fins to avoid an unpleasant surprise. ;-) www.liveabout.com/catching-scuplin-californias-scorpionfish-2929299
We need to do a catch and cook!
It was interesting to see you fish with the "slow-jigging rod". What make and size of rod is that? Are those jigs 40 grams? I've been fishing mainly Orange county coast and sometimes at San Clemente mothership trips and I love the flat-fall. I love your gear, been a customer for about 5 years. Thanks for the great videos as well. Jim
These jigs are very similar to "flat fall". It's what the Flat Fall jig was based on. It San Diego Bay, I fish 40-60g. The rod is rated for 40-100g. I use a few different rods, I had to buy them from Amazon because they are very hard to find.
Could you recommend a rod and where to find at Amazon? Thanks
What's the California record on sculpin fish I think I might have broke it, i landed one 4.8 pounds at the wedge few years ago, I need to find my old phone with the picture of the catch on it , it was a monster
Does that free floating swivel chafe the braid? How often does that rig get wrapped up, especially on doubles. Im going to give it a go.
On this last trip, no noticeable chafe on the braid. I did re-tie after the session. Surprisingly no tangles. I think the key is the off set leader length and different sized head. Also a rod with not much "Whip"
Ill pick up some of your baits. Really like the slug profile and wiggle. New to the channel. Enjoying the content...
I do most of my spot fishing in Newport. Every stick any big ones there?
Where are you launching from? Want to try kayaking San Diego. From OC area. Thanks
Shelter Island launch ramp. You’ll have to park on the street though. Lots are closed
Where do you get the white stickers that are on the side of your kayak?
We have them on warbaits.com
always hurts to lose a cool iron
I dont fish, but I plan to start this year, my question is why are you letting the fish go, do you eat them?
I treat it mostly as “sport” fishing. Catch and release so I can catch them again another day. I do keep and eat fish. Cleanest meat you can get 👍
Nice fishing Afran I was finally able to get out on the water Thanks to the people at Dana Landing there skiff rental was open today so sick. Thanks for keeping us sane and putting new content as well as getting my orders out to me quick. #warbaitnation 🤙🏽
That’s great news! I hope to be on MB this week
Hello, where can we order the swim bait you are using in minute 12:21?? Thank you in advance
Warbaits and MC Swimbait SLUG
what rod is that
how do you tell if you are on a clam bed with a fishfinder?
Typically if a fish pukes up some clams, then I know. Can’t really see it on the fish finder
nice.. do you need fishing licenses to fish around the side sores ?
yes license required for shore fishing
@@WARBAITS been a long time i fished time to get me some gear.. can you just buy a digital fishing license and have proof of it on the phone now days ?
Do y’all put together a “SD Bay” lure kit? Would love to purchase one if you did! Love the channel!
Great idea, thank you!
Where you launch from?
Shelter island Launch Ramp
Good fishing bro, hey since you’re not digging those sculpins can you send me the spot location please so I can go catch em L🤪L
hahah those things are so fun to pull on!
i really want a kayak like yours but those prices kill my wallet :((((
Try used at a kayak shop or Craigslist. There are a lot of deals out there. My first kayak was $200. Best way to get on the water
