Fresh Oceanside Fishing Reports

Afternoon fishing with Mom and Dad from Virginia visiting there son who lives in Carlsbad, Ca. They caught two kinds of Bass, Sculpin and Sheepshead.

Awesome group of people came out. We put some nice rock fish on the boat. Everybody had an amazing time.. Goodbye 2024

We traveled for 50 minutes to get the Hot Spot. We caught and released 30 Sand Dabs keep 4 Then caught limints of Rockcod

Cruising south from Oceanside for 40 minutes we are in the zone to start fishing. We went to spots for nothing and then it the Hot spot for for 14 fish. 5 Big Bocaccio (Salmon Grouper), 2 Rockcod and 7 Sandabs.

Leaving the slip at 7:30 AM we stopped to pick up some Sardines for bait and check out all the Sea Lions in the harbor. About 30 on a dock just for 4 them. Within 15 minutes of leaving the Harbor we came upon a large pod of Common Dolphin feeding. WE spent time watching and taking pictures. We then travelled for about 20 more minutes to fish for Rockcod in 350' of water off Carlsbad. We caught three different varies of Rockcod all great eating. Then tried for Bass but because of Red Tide no biters in Carlsbad. Moved back to Oceanside area, no Red Tide but the fish are good at stealing your bait so no keepers. Just a fun Day on the water.

Left the Harbor at 1:30 pm for a afternoon of fishing from Oceanside Harbor. We caught Sheephead (Great crab cakes), Sculpin ( great eating and the primary winter fish also some greenback mackerel.
