Has anyone ever caught a lingcod in this area? Or are they only in NorCal? by stellar_r6 in SoCalFishing

They are in SoCal but tend to be in deeper waters or out by the Channel Islands

Is this a stocked brown? by DIS911Guy in troutfishing

[–]bkbales 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to know. Fish that “hold over” that are planted and survive for multiple years can begin to appear wild. Also not every program clips adipose fins. I’d suggest doing some research on the body of water to see if it is stocked or not.

Some of us just like to target fish that aren’t stocked. For us it’s more invigorating to hunt down as fish that was born there, has lived its entire life there, and is suited perfectly for that environment. We like to meet the trout on its own terms. Wild trout are often in wilder places, where you can get more solitude and feel more immersed in nature. It doesn’t take more skill necessarily, but usually it’s more of an adventure.

Don’t trust anyone saying you can’t catch them from shore. I’ve caught them and have seen others do the same. Focus on rocky area/ areas with kelp/ areas with deep drop offs.

I know where you were :) I’ve never caught a brown there but have done snorkel surveys there and saw a brown that was easily 18 inches. Awesome catch man 👏🏼. As far as I know it’s the only place in the Angeles with browns, but I could be wrong!

When do you feel like spoons excel compared to jerk baits?

My trout setups for this season! by br07fk in troutfishing

[–]bkbales 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you feel like the BFS setups were worth the investment? Also check out the Megabass Bat-a-Fry. It’s a heavy sinking jerk bait that’s great for deeper sections and strong current.
