I just moved to San Diego and after a couple of months of trying to get my bearings here, my wife and I finally started catching a few fish. Then, we had to figure out what kind of fish we were catching. I've fished the Gulf of Mexico and the North East Coast and never saw anything like what they have here.
Actually, I had read a good deal and talked to the local bait and tackle store owners and knew that the different types of bass (sand, calico, kelp, etc.) and the very numerous types of rock fish were what was supposed to be biting here at this time of the year.
We started catching some nice sized ones off the whistle bouy out from the San Diego harbor. Unfortunately, the rock fish are off limits now due to reaching their quota for the year.
We are bottom fishing with either dead squid or live anchovies/sardines. Haven't caught a great deal but at least enough to keep us interested.
