Surf Fishing In San Diego - How To

[@erictrujillo9884]

I have a question. I live by PB area, would I be able to surf fish there? Maybe night time since that is a big surf spot?

[@surffishinginsocal]

@@erictrujillo9884 absolutely. Especially this time of year you can for sure manage.

[@lucasgeorgge]

Hey man! Couple questions for you. What beach is this, and what rod and bait do you use to catch the best fish? Thanks man.

[@surffishinginsocal]

All the info is in the description. As for location I don’t reveal exact locations other than what’s in the title, description and video. Hope this helps!

[@kingnocho1231]

Your guides are goated! Caught 5 walleyes and a croaker my first time fishing today with a Carolina rig

[@surffishinginsocal]

@@kingnocho1231 awesome to hear man! Thanks for showing some appreciation and I wish you more success going forward🤙

[@user-qk7vk3mz3y]

I remember being a little kid catching sandcrabs for fun

[@johncabarios1157]

Thank you 🙏

[@Gypsyboy932]

Thanks Nick! Great tutorial.

[@surffishinginsocal]

For sure!

Is it possible to fish for Halibut with little to no structure like the corbina and spotfin? It’s the number one fish I struggle with in the surf. And is Oceanside a valid place to fish for them?

[@surffishinginsocal]

It definitely is possible to fish for halibut successfully at sandy beaches. You’ll look for the same troughs and holes etc. but I would say most sandy beaches will require you to walk a lot more as you try as many good looking areas as possible. I find them better where I know hard structure is and then I fish the sandy areas around the hard structure. Hope this helps!

Incredible Video Nick! This is great!

Thanks, Josh!

Hey Nick, my name is Roger. I've never surfed fishing before I would like to learn. Is there any way I can get in touch with you and maybe go fishing 🎣 one of these days I'm in Temecula thanks!!!

[@thatonebeone]

cool stuff.. fun on ultra light or fly rod

[@Abraxastrust]

Great video, great channel man. Really helpful and genuinel

[@surffishinginsocal]

Appreciate it man!

[@glenfishing]

Hey nick, im a noob. I’m using a Carolina rig in San Diego looking for perch. Am I constantly reeling in or do I cast, take up slack, and let it sit? Thanks for all the info.

[@surffishinginsocal]

Depending on what you’re using for bait, you’re typically casting out and doing your best to not retrieve at all while keeping tension. The best overview I can give you is on my website and in this video here. But here’s a helpful article: surffishingsocalsd.com/how-to-go-surf-fishing/ I’d encourage you to read that entire article and I think you’ll end up knowing the answers to a lot of your questions.

[@glenfishing]

@@surffishinginsocal I've read your article and I am squared away. Thanks Nick.

[@p.jasonburke3278]

Thanks Nick. What licensing does a person visiting from AZ need to surf fish? I know some piers don’t require a license but I understand you do for surf fishing?

[@surffishinginsocal]

Yes you would either need a nonresident annual with a ocean fishing validation or you’d just get a standard 1 day or multi day temporary license

[@surffishinginsocal]

[@calypso2niner]

Cheers, brother! Thank you for this. Good times ahead.

[@surffishinginsocal]

Absolutely!! 🙏

What beach is this? Ive yet to catch a surf perch in San Diego. 😢

[@kenanmammadov7281]

Hey nick! I just have a question. my usual fishing spot is del mar beach. recently, I have gotten nothing. Do you know of any good spots in that general area? Also, this may be a longshot, but I was wondering if we could go fishing together in the near future. It would be amazing to learn from you to get experience to get better at surf fishing. Anyways thanks and keep up the great videos!.

[@surffishinginsocal]

Hey Kenan! Unfortunately, between my guiding business, my 9-5, content business and personal fishing time, I can’t commit to getting out there recreationally with many people. I can tell you things are heating up though and although I’d encourage you to explore all the spots sd has to offer, Del Mar should be very productive in the coming weeks.

Hahah it surprised me too😂

[@dewdog]

@@surffishinginsocal ain't no fakin' it, that's for sure. I assume this wasn't recent, cuz the water is damn cold 🥶 and you're in shorts.

[@noelconklin5916]

What time of year do you surf fish with success? Obviously summer and warmer temps I assume are best but are there months you absolutely don’t fish? Thanks.

[@surffishinginsocal]

It’s different every year to a degree but historically Nov-Dec usually has a tough patch and usually there’s a time between Feb-March that’s challenging. Mostly it’s cuz those are transitional months for species to start and stop feeding

[@noelconklin5916]

Thanks for the info.

[@YoureTooEZ]

Where do you surf fish at?

[@surffishinginsocal]

Mostly San Diego county but sometimes OC, LA, and SB

[@YoureTooEZ]

@@surffishinginsocal thank you! Do you have any tips on when and what beaches in San Diego to surf fish at when there is nobody swimming?

[@surffishinginsocal]

@@YoureTooEZ surffishingsocalsd.com/best-surf-fishing-spots-in-san-diego/ Here’s what I have on San Diego. Generally speaking, the more difficult it is to get to a beach, the less crowded it is.
