Surf Fishing Malibu Beach With a Visit From California Fish and Game Wardens - Late Fall

[@diawaprolite7967]

Its California someone called it in.

[@TallThingy]

[@BradChism]

@@robert039 You need a license everywhere in California "technically" except fishing off piers which is why a lot of people fish piers. I prefer less crowded spots and bigger game so I fish from the beaches. had a license for over 20 years, live in HB and fish here and Newport beach often, fish the lakes too. Never once checked. so I guess it all depends how someone is feeling. ha

[@donklee3514]

Yep, I've been fishing the cost of southern California my whole life and billionaire NIMBY are the worse. They sit around living on passive income half drunk with nothing better to do then weaponize law enforcement on the peasants to serve there lordly desires. One of my favorite stories was a county sheriff that met us back at my truck to apologize and complain how he hated that F B and wished she would stop calling him. Over the years, I got to know this guy pretty good. After a while he stopped searching my pockets for lint and I would joke about working class solidarity against the NIMBY. Why do these people need to by a house above the best fishing spots when they cannot buy the ocean they built over. Some of these house have 15 feet of actual land and a 7,000 sq ft built over the tidal zone.

[@tracys_valentine]

@@mitchellyoung8561 You can’t use that analogy when it comes to the CFG. They have the right to check if you have a proper fishing license or hunting license. They have the right to check your fishing tackle. They have the right to check your catch.

They have the right to enforce all federal regulations which includes mammals, all marine life and inland bodies of waters. They also have the right to enforce all state and federal regulations that applies to hunting all land based, marine life, animals and fowl.

As for criminals who happen to be undocumented immigrants, I'm not sure where you got the idea that their legal status can't be checked, but it is, and they are typically deported after serving time.

I've been surf fishing for about 15 years now and the only time I've been approached by the fish and game is when I'm fishing in malibu. I fish all the way from San Diego and as far north as Pismo beach. Good to see that our money is not going to waste, but I would like to see more interactions with anglers. Not just in Malibu...

Nice video, thanks for posting. It’s good to know these spots are available to everyone. Fished there myself several times and yes I’ve been asked for my license on a few occasions. I ran into another angler years ago and started chatting it up. I soon realize he was Kevin Costner. I’d like to add a word of advice, if I may. You are allowed access up to the high water mark, just as the home owner has the expectation of privacy beyond that point. I have found that a little courtesy goes a long way. If you go, pack lite. Carry your gear with you. Don’t lean your poles against someone’s back fence or leave your tackle box in what is actually someone’s backyard. Great job and thanks for practicing catch and release.

[@jamesnorwood4084]

Always bring license and valid measuring device when fishing. Also a printed page or booklet that has all the lengths and bag limits, season closures etc. Here in Florida I learned that lesson P.D.Q. Never broke the law, but after a few checks by officers I did a deep read on our state's fishing laws and always came to the venue prepared for visits from Fish & Game. See same situation obtains in Cali. Called in? Most likely residents that resent fisherman presence on their turf/ backyard. Always leave venue as found; leave no trash behind. Here in Florida "the people" own the beach to the high water line. Problem in most areas anymore is access.

[@cramos6638]

I was kicked out of Malibu’s Zumba beach when I was fishing. The life guard approached me with a pamphlet to let me know it was a state protected area for fishing. He was very nice about it .

100% someone from one of the houses called it in... we in the area all know what those Malibu types are like. They think it's private property because the beach is hard to get onto.

You can park for free in the Malibu Country Mart parking lot, and there is very little foot traffic on weekday mornings.

Great video

[@Lemurai]

Honestly I have alot of respect for game and fish officers, they are the only law enforcement officers that actually do their damn JOBS and are some how better at conflict deescalation than standard police officers. Strange enough I’ve been stopped way out in the wilderness where the nearest service road was a 3 day trek away and they were still polite and even gave me a lift out of the area I was in. I normally have a lanyard around my neck when I fish that holds my license though so I make the interaction brief.

[@driftless1870]

Fishing always requires a valid license. Whether you are actually catching anything, or keeping any fish or not. And California has a specific value for each species of fish that belong to their great state. (And they are very proud of them!). So, keep an eye on the date of expiration on your license (1 year from date of purchase) or things can get very ugly. I had my experience with them way back in 1989 and it has made a life long believer in me ever since. (And my officers were pretty cool in the end. Just doing their jobs.)

[@cstarsfly]

Fish don't belong to states... You don't need a fishing license in many circumstances in California, including some piers and charters. I'm not against licenses but at the rate we are required to get licenses and pay taxes soon the lady walking on the beach will need to pay for a special license. After all she is effecting the microbiology of the beach, which all belongs to the state of California, according to you.

I believe a home called in on you. I was diving near there and they (fish and game) told me someone called in. The same with long Beach. I went to the end of Ocean Blvd. climbed the rocks and went to the end of the jetty. When I got back fish and game was waiting for me. They said the life guard called on me.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

I started going to Malibu in 1959/60 long before the homes started showing up. It's where I started surfing. Without seeing the old short pier south of the old surfing beach I'n not sure of your location. Last time I was there was in 1962. From what I understand the home owners think they own the beach but the CDFW can spot you from places up on PCH. It could have been either way? Doesn't matter though, if you have a license you are OK. I fish/crab a pier in NorCal and they come out quite often to check us for legal size of catch, no license required to fish from a pier or jetty in the state.

The California Fish and Game Code (FGC), section 7145 (a) requires that every person aged 16 and older who takes any fish, reptile, or amphibian must have a valid sport fishing license on his or her person or in his or her immediate possession. I’m guessing this was considered “in his immediate possession” since if it was in his pocket it would have been “on his person”.

[@traviskas]

They definitely were "observing" you before you were approached. DFG are usually cool, but if you do have a license but not physically with you, you can still give them your DL# since it is linked to the DFG database. Always better to remember it. You handled their silly questions better than they could ask them.

[@kqc8224]

In my opinion, homeowners won’t get FnG out, calling in on someone fishing, since it’s not illegal to fish. Odds are, FnG was in the area and just happened to see you from the road and decided to check you, especially since they really don’t have much to do 😅 Most are pretty regular guys and gals, but few can have an attitude. They live out of their binoculars btw… makes it easier to observe potential law and code violations from a distance. My buddy got popped once fishing without a license and got a $275 fine. They watched him with binoculars and as soon as his line hit the water, they were on him. Good fishing video. Looks like you have a few good spots. Make sure you have something to measure your halibut and bass with. FnG will write you tickets for short fish for sure. Good fishing!

How far should you cast to catch surf perch? I'm pretty new to fishing and I've caught 0 fish the past three times I've gone. I use a berkeley sand worm like the one you used in the video with a standard high low rig.

[@HookGuru]

The high low is a good setup - I suggest you use a 2oz pyramid sinker as the pyramid sinkers stay better in the surf (compared to round sinkers). I try to cast out about 20 yards in the water. Wait a couple minutes and reel in - wait again. Been using sandcrabs (aka sand fleas) as my bait, but in winter they are not always easy to find - so Berkley sandworm is a good alternative. If the spot doesn't produce - try moving down the beach 30 yards and try again. Once you find a spot where you catch, most likely there will be many more. Don't get discourage - perch are fun to catch - keep practicing. Once you catch perch - you can start targeting corbinas, sharks, and the ultimate catch from the shore - a legal halibut :)

[@John-qe7mu]

I’m pretty new too, but have been going with my neighbor who has a lot of experience and we’ve been using squid on 2 hooks with a steel lead and pyramid sinker. So far I’ve caught mostly croakers and small leopard sharks. Also some stingrays and shovel nose rays. I’d highly recommend squid for bait, especially if you’re fishing after dark.

Another point is that somebody in that community had enough PULL to have the CORRECT AGENCY to address it with such SPEED!! "Stay out of Malibu Lebowski !"

Good to see them in that area they need to be around more so many poachers

[@phihelix8777]

Spotted you. They actually do their job.

[@massyla92]

it's Malibu, someone called it in....i heard they once even bulldozed the sand, to keep public beach, private,

[@AlexeiPavlov]

Why do you use two different reels for casting Luckycraft and sandworms?

[@HookGuru]

I like the baitcaster for casting Luckycraft because you are constantly casting and retrieving. It feels more accurate to where I want to cast. The spinning with sandworms - you cast and wait. Both can be used vise versa - more of a preference.

Are people allowed to fish in that area? 🤔

[@freetrailer4poor]

There are a lot of idiots in So. Cal. Some think you are in a santuary, some say you can't keep fish, some just don't want people fishing.

[@Sm00th89]

Somebody called it in cause they can't mind there own business 🤷‍♂️

[@frankflores5691]

I think someone called it in to many houses and I'm pretty sure lots of nosy people
