I fish MB every now and then with a lot of luck. Every now and then you will see big schools of corbina running around too. I use my trout gear and drop shot gulp sandworms...

Down grade the gear think trout gear, 1oz is usually the max for perch down here, even lighter. Mostly Barred not many of the big Redtail down this way.

Bolsa chica has always been good to me... Nice perch, corbina and even halibuts in the inlet. I use sand crabs

Most of the perch caught in so cal waters are barred surf perch. They can be caught at pretty much any sandy bottomed beach around here. A quick and easy way to rig up is a carolina rigged 1 3/4", motor oil colored grub. Slow and steady retrieve with light tackle and you are sure to get a few.

X2, great location which always produces good results. As far as gear I always C-rig but typically with 1/2 oz slider. If it's super crazy swell or wind I'll step it up to 1 oz, but that's a max and the conditions really have to call for it. Sand crabs are always the go-to bait if they can be had otherwise it's Gulp Sandworms or BH Grubs, which also produce. I run super light gear too, I think my setup is 8lb braid on something like 4lb flouro leader. Not exact on the setup since it's not often I use it but just wanted to agree on using light gear.

I've gone to Torrey Pines - c-rig like the others mentioned, but also used crack - as in Gulp sand worms.
Also check socal surf fishing - http://www.scsurffishing.com/ |

My other alternate spot with lots of success is south Mission Beach, from the jetty all the way up to the pier. Note, sandcrabs are the go-to bait when they're around... most folks also pack some gulp sandworm if don't want the trouble of pumping ghost shrimps or buying bloodworms, but I have to say.. ghosties and bloodworms will nearly guarantee you a bite! that said... good luck... PM me if you have questions! |

Uh...I'm pretty sure Laguna is off limits for fishing. Anyways, another good spot to go is South Crystal Cove, that's if you don't mind dealing with some rocky areas. There's a ton of perch down there of all sorts, Black Surf Perch, Barred Surf Perch, Shiner Perch, there are even some Opaleye and bass in the shallows over there too.

San Onofre works for me. Fishes like warm water coming out from the plant LOL. I use lugworms and get barred perch, corvina, & yellow croaker mostly but none I want to keep.
