Epic video and adventure!

WARBAITS FISHING Great catch! Awesome halibut!

[@anthony_sasquatch8056]

WARBAITS FISHING your a beast dawg!!

[@WARBAITS]

Thanks man! Love fishing

[@mrbonsynat]

I now have to go buy some warbaits underspin.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Doo ittt! quality

[@joshuapotter7372]

The spot you're fishing at start of video is a good spot to fish for Bonito when they're running. Also on overcast days or early mornings with haze use a 8" white grub like the Berkeley white saltwater grub or a 6" Mogambo. Jig the structures or rock piles for bass.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

yeeeee! yea I love catching bonito when they are running

[@MC-pe8mx]

What an awesome day! So much variety. I’d take this over a crowded cattle boat any day!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

it was such a great day with good company :) Im looking forward to fishing with Afran again in the 2020 year

[@matthewwirth5763]

I worked in the shipyard for years wouldn't eat anything from the bay , but fun to catch and release

[@tymaster42082]

Awesome vid! You and Warbait's videos have greatly helped me with my fishing skills since I moved to San Diego. I do have one little suggestion to anyone else reading this. Please dont feed seals and\or birds. This teaches them that human=fish. Getting your bait or catch stolen by seals sucks and hooking a bird sucks even more. I know most seals and birds are already conditioned to this but throwing them macks doesnt help.

[@dabodsterfishing1133]

Dude o cringed when he grabbed the sculpin I was screaming at my phone lol. Good video!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

hahah! thanks for watching !

[@9363234]

CAN'T BELIEVE HOW CALM THE WATER IS!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

It was a great day too! cloudy , little wind, current, however not to crazy. made it ideal for fishing

[@UixoCalifas]

Thank you both for everything you guys do for the fishing community 👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Silent Slayer no problem ! Fishing is life ! :)

[@drrckhamilton]

This was the absolute best!!!! Sitting at work. Computer down all morning. Received pop up and clicked...... BAM!!! Not one but two of my favorite fishy guys slay'n em!!!!! I would rather be fishing but this was the next best thing!!! Warbaits rocks!!! Rodney Marquez rocks!!! Made the boring wait while waiting for IT a bit nicer!! Thanks guys!!!!!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Heck yeah! thanks a ton Derrick for the positive vibes !

[@DwightPerkins-i7t]

We always fished the bait stations in the 60s and 70s. You guys were getting slammed on the bite. Great video.

[@ATD352]

Yay!!!!! You, with the Corvina,..Warbaits, with the Halibut!!!!! Awesome combination! Doesn't get any better then that!!! Love it!!!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Aron Delfin thanks man ! I hope to collab with warbaits more :) and also with subscribers

[@carcistan]

I’m fairly new to SD and learning more about all the awesome nature to get into around here. Fishing seems like a great excuse to spend more time at the beach - I moved up to North County and would love any tips on areas near Carlsbad that would be quiet and good for beginners (like less busy so I don’t accidentally hook someone learning to cast, for one!) Love your videos - your energy is infectious!

[@Enchanted_Adventures505]

You guys killed it. Great video! Cant wait to try your tips thank you.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

No problem! Good luck out there

[@fastactionfishingco]

Nice halibut, I just caught a 34" out of Mission Bay 3 days ago. Tight lines!

[@TomCruisesButt]

I heard near the penguin encounter is a good spot... never tried it.

[@jameswesthart5873]

Caught, or landed or brought to the sea wall a monster Halibut tonight (8/4/2020), at least 8 lb. in Glorietta Bay this evening! It was a dream as I was about to go home after an hour and a half without getting a single bite. Three casts of the Lucky Craft Flash Minnow and the water exploded. Ultra-lite gear with 8 lb. braid and the fish was tearing off line with me in a state of dismay. Heart pounding and adrenaline pumping as my hands frantically trying to increase the drag on my Shimano 2500 Symetre reel. Out gunned but we managed to get him to the sea wall with my 6'6" Cabellas fresh water Lt. rod. No net, no gloves. This is what happens when you are un-prepared, never again. Way too heavy to lift, I never dreamed there were fish that big in Glorietta Bay.

[@outdoornation1406]

My heart sunk on that first gaff lol

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

MEE TOOO! hahah

[@kenrobison9528]

Nice white seabass, at the baitbarge.

[@ericunderwood8080]

Fishing under the bait tank...now that's smart!

[@jammerk65]

You should keep a net on board for those halibut !,,, nice fish !, planning a trip to puerto penesco to fish cortez halibut off the beach, i'm in Tucson so it's a shorter drive for me, will be in Diego when the yellow tail come back !

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

The yellowtail are soon to bite. Good luck out there

[@jammerk65]

@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel thanks buddy !, love the videos !

[@victorcianflone5093]

Nets are a law by the way.

[@timatia211]

In my opinion the best two San Diego anglers in one video. Definitely stoked to see this bro!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Heck yeah !!! Really means a lot , thanks !

[@FOE_RUNNER]

Thanks for sharing Rodney! Always enjoy watching your videos as well as Afran’s!!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Primo Paderanga thanks man!!! Happy fishing out there

[@joekrizovsky7719]

Growing up my pops and i fished that exact area!!! I love to see my old fishing spots on you tube. Next time im out that way im gonna hit you up, lets go fishing. Shore, boat, salt, or fresh I dont care. New sub because of this video.

[@surfratsociety5310]

Me and my friends unintentionally catch sculpin and usually cut the line because some of the aggressive ones thrash around so much you can’t even try to get the hook out

[@heatherrobertson34]

Sculpins one the tastiest fish in so cal and probly most overlooked or underrated, love me some sculpins!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

I will try and do a sculpin catch and cook video!

[@PNW_Adventures1]

I can’t believe you boat flipped that halibut 🤣🤣

[@dorianyanke7431]

That's an awesome video!!! One of the best videos I've seen about fishing SD Bay!!! One thought, tho. Really not a good idea to bounce Corvina into the boat if you're planning on releasing them. They're so strong in the water but once they come out, they're really a fragile fish and die easily. Would be cool seeing big Halibut CPR with good techniques too. I love eating halibut as much as anyone else, but it's good to put them back sometimes and teach people how to do that without hurting the fish or their tails so they can live. Again, awesome video!!!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Dorian Yanke next big halibut I will demonstrate proper CPR :)

[@ShreadsEBS]

Awesome video! Watching your videos makes me want to leave work and hit the water!!

[@alexanderpfleger3265]

So awesome I was just getting a rush. Man I want to catch one of those!!!

[@petesampson4273]

Did you know sculpin are delicious? I don't know what the current population is like but we considered them one of the better food fish back in the 70's. You do have to watch out for those fins though. We were on a party boat and someone tossed one in a burlap sack without clipping the fins. I caught said fin right in the kneecap and it was a miserable experience! The guys on the boat rubbed some concoction into the wound and it did dull the pain but I was sick as a dog for a few hours. Cheers!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

pete sampson thanks for sharing that experience ! I almost got pricked at numerous of times before this trip. I'll need to be more careful Haha. Fish on and cheers to you too !

[@cesarbarrera2006]

You guys are the best anglers in San Diego !!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

too kind! Theres a lot of anglers here, I am just like you guys :D

[@scottburkhart6953]

You always make me miss Cali. Won't make it back this summer but maybe in the winter.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Scott Burkhart winter time halibut !

[@briano4292]

The seals 😂

[@p4tr1ck18]

I've been here in San Diego for most of my life but haven't gotten a chance to get out on the water yet. I wish I could learn the trade, but it's just never come my way. I'll keep an eye out for you guys from the shore! Ahah

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

I hope you catch a big one!

[@arthurabad2913]

SD Bay fish whisperers! Time to make a “how to gaff a fish” video LOL!

Arthur Abad hahaha let's go fishing !

[@jeffreytorres9192]

Going back to San Diego in a week for some fishing this helps a lot man thanks !!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

heck yeah! hope you catch some big ones!

[@luisc2554]

Great video! Two great guys too! I’ve had the pleasure of a fishin Mission with Afran. Next video for you two Rodney is a kayak collaboration fishing video. Catch the yak fever Rodney!!!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Luis C I want to do some kayak fishing . Maybe someday I will be able to go out and catch a legal from a yak😁😁🤙🎣

[@luisc2554]

You got plenty of options out there. A few of your KZbin buddies have multiple kayaks. Hit em up! Maybe you can make it out with the #Yak_ninjaz. We'd have a great time! Get you on that yak fever!

[@efraindelariva9368]

Nice catch Efrain

[@jimbo4612]

The bigger halibut was just came to the boat to fast and was not ready to be gaffed yet. You can see it making multiple boils and still raw green. Usually you try and wear out em out a bit before they come to the boat . Also when there this green they tend to snap at everything and they have serious teeth to inflict wounds. Gaff shot goes in the collar straight up and straight up, the weight of the fish should drive the hook in if not the gaff is to dull and the tip needs to be sharpened with a file. Personally would also rather eat the Corbina which has much more flavor than the Halibut.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

nice words of wisdom! thanks. I never tried Corbina before. I would love to catch them

[@jimbo4612]

@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel Warbaits are great. wish they had a bit bigger keeper pin to hold the plastics in place but there great lure none the less. Works on a load of species even Florida Snook as a found out last summer. Look forward to new creations keep up the good work and tight lines to you and yours

[@Opaleye]

Looks like so much fun! Thank you for the video!

[@wideopenadventures.2192]

Nice catch.. still havnt landed a legal hali yet this yet.. was at harbor island this morning got a 19inch close but no cigar.. keep on the vids

[@ClaudeBooth]

Sculpin yes the spines are poisonous but if your careful you can catch and cook and they are good also they like holes in the bottom you can find them in a hole in packs. They are excellent eating.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Claude Booth I never tried sculpin before , next time I'll catch one and eats:)

[@ClaudeBooth]

If you look on the party boats catch counts you see them. They are not sculpin as called but a scorpion fish the filet is mostly both sides of the head and they are so good ! the meat is not poisonous and the fish is white like cod but tastes better.

[@ClaudeBooth]

This a California thing Sculpin! LOL!

[@raidermatt8398]

You know the legal size and limits for that things?

[@armandorama]

Great collab, Rodney! I've learned a lot from both you guys. Fun and informative as always!

[@werftv4580]

come in over the top for that gaff shot.. all good

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

DumbestFisherman TV in noobish:D

[@werftv4580]

lol.. point the gaff hook DOWN, line it up with your thumb (for me, my RH thumb, I'm a righty), with the opposing hand helping steady the shot, so you track where it's pointed. come over the top of the fish and gaff through the collar whenever possible. all one movement, keeps the line out of harms way, and gives a secure hold to the fish..
