[@CastNreeL82]

Awesome ~👍 Thanks for sharing nice video :)

[@GaryGiffin]

I have tried everything in my bag now its time to try the lucky craft, Nice video thanks!

[@donniedarko1345]

Try and find some that resemble local baitfish. I use the Sexy Smelt and the one that looks like a Grunion. I also have a completely white one with a hot-pink stripe on the belly...Cherry Berry I think its called. Good luck!

@@donniedarko1345 I have one that looks like a grunion. I heard the Cherry Berry is the best for halibut. Been casting in Del Mar on both sides of the bridge with using swimbaits and Big Gulp so far. thanks!

Frozen sardines from pacific coast bait and tackle work really well too

You’re supposed to say “Fish on!”

[@thegoodfriendsnetwork]

Looks like Buena Vista Lagoon... thought that was a no fishing area?

[@donniedarko1345]

Batiquitos Lagoon. Ponto area of Carlsbad.

[@dcslja]

I only have tried agua hedionda lagoon and guajome lake, only 2 small rock fish on the lagoon.

[@kylebruns9060]

I thought batiquitos lagoon is a red zone ?

[@donniedarko1345]

Everywhere I fished in this video is legal. They expanded the zone where you could walk a few years back. You cant go beyond where I hooked up.

[@drewamasterpiece5268]

Any specific signs marking red and green zones for fishing? Trying to go.

[@pablotanja2405]

nice catch bro but it would be very nice if you can tell me exactly where is that secret place lol🤣🤣👌👌👌👌

[@Yiffin84]

Ponto beach in Carlsbad. The spot he is fishing in the begining is technically illigal. Not sure if it was back then, but it's a wild life preserve now. I just got a ticket for fishing that spot. You can only fish that spot closer to the west, pretty much under the bridge and on towards the ocean. If you go to that spot, don't walk past the green run down fence. Beyond that fence is the preserve

[@fishingwithjulian5295]

Are you allowed to be fishing over there

[@donniedarko1345]

Several years ago, fish and game started allowing people to fish beyond the fence-line. You just can go beyond the sandbar and onto the rocks towards the railroad track.

[@Yiffin84]

As of today, no. Game wardens will give you a ticket. I found out the hard way about a week ago.... He said if you fish here you have to stay west of the green fence.
