Carlsbad Lagoon Fishing!! Morning bite!! | San Diego |

[@TurbineStream]

Hey 👋 I’m new to the channel and you are so underrated! I live near there and never catch nearly as many fish as u did 😮😅 Keep Up the good work Brother ❤🎉

Thank you for watching! I think it was a very lucky and productive day!

Hi Bernard! I actually live by that lagoon and am looking to get into fishing. Any recommendations you can make on purchasing a rod, bait, time of day to fish, etc?

[@bnardo_7]

@@slicknix6707 Im glad you’re going to get into fishing! Honestly I’d start with a Walmart set up, I still fish them. A good rod from there is the uglystick GX2 combo. (I currently have it) For around $50. Bait, I prefer using shrimp, that’s been the most reliable for me. Usually with a 2-3 ounce weight and 2 hooks (tied on with dropper loops). Either size 6 hooks for smaller fish or size 1 to minimize bycatch. Time of day is usually 2 hours before/after tide change (you can use tides4fishing.com ). I prefer the morning but night is productive as well. I know it’s a lot of information but I hope it is helpful! If you have any other questions shoot away!

Huge eel!! 😮

[@bnardo_7]

That eel was massive !

[@longanisa5564]

Dope content. What rod and reel specs are you using?

[@bnardo_7]

Thanks for watching! I’m using some ugly sticks from Walmart the gx2 about 15lbs capacity but paired with Penn pursuit 4000 with 20lbs braid. Pretty inexpensive but very solid set ups! I never really pulled the trigger on expensive gear unless it’s for big game and then I get the best deals 😂

[@CalcetaJack-q9q]

You’re not the first to fall there. If you are lucky you can get a legal Halibut at that spot. Nice video!

[@bnardo_7]

Thanks! I’m still hunting for my first legal Halibut!!

@@marceloamador92024 it’s funny because I knew it was going to be slippery but still fell 🤣 I love fishing those! I need to go back with more lures/jigs. I tried over 5 combo’s but the morning was somewhat a dry session

Green n Brown you’ll go down (green or brown algae’s 🛑no step) a hundred years ago I slipped on brown algae on top of San.PEEdro BreakWall halfway out n lost a lot of tackle from crashing tackle box . Been using backpacks ever since. Now only Terrorist are allowed on SP BreakWall 😔

[@bnardo_7]

@@randydelabarcena4988 that’s a good way to put it! I’ll take that into consideration on my next adventures! Thank you for sharing your story, very unfortunate for your tackle. Got to love backpacks! The news on the SP wall is crazy. I was unaware that even happened until I saw your comment and did some research

[@LilTayRX]

Sup bro. I love your vids im a local young fisherman at cbad and love catching calicos. Were you using shrimp for the wrasse?

[@bnardo_7]

Hey brother! Thank you for watching! Calicos are a fun species to catch! I was using shrimp for the wrasse but got lucky with the foul hook. I think to get a bite with them you would need a size 6 hook because of how small their mouths are but if another species bites, you can possibly gut hook them.

[@LilTayRX]

@@bnardo_7 yea their mouths are just like opaleye. There are actually mullet and I think yellowfin croakers in that lagoon it’s super cool. I’ve never caught one but hope to do so!

[@bnardo_7]

I’ve never got a mullet yet, I think they are vegetarian. Croaker are great! I never got one on the lagoon but on the jetty next to the lagoon I’ve caught some. Probably a good 15-20 feet away casted out north at about 3/4ths of the way out on the rocks.

[@LilTayRX]

@@bnardo_7 eyyy nice!!! Yea the mullet are vegetarian. Also the buena vista lagoon on the north side of town has bass and massive carp, as well as catfish

[@bnardo_7]

@@LilTayRX I’ve never went there yet! You’re the second person lately to tell me about it. I’ve done research but it seems to be low key, at least video wise. I’ll add that lagoon to the list of where to go!

So sad this place will change dramatically one the farm is gone 😢

[@bnardo_7]

It is sad! I heard of the news recently. I’m sure fishing will decline dramatically and the water will be affected largely. San Diego Bay fishing will probably pick up with the transfer over but at the cost of the Carlsbad lagoon

[@DominickSinor]

The fish is called a wrasp
