lowprofile · 06-07-2011, 06:42 PM

last day before i have to check in to Pendleton and want to get the fishing out of my system for a couple weeks.

am considering (if i can get a couple more to go) launching out of DP and trying my luck at a thresher all morning, if no luck then head to the harbor and slay bass till i cant stand them anymore.

anyone down? not sure where exactly ill launch but want to do around 6am.

Sounds like a good plan to me. I'd be down to go.

chances are ill probably be heading out of DP saturday morning...donno bout thresher hunting, not quite ready for that but ill probably fishing the kelp along the headlands for bass and halibut. you gonna be launching at baby beach?

lowprofile · 06-07-2011, 09:43 PM

was thinking the boat ramps at the south side of the harbor. where's baby beach? is that at the park?

fishsouthcounty · 06-07-2011, 10:26 PM

baby beach is just at the end of the doheny harbor road...same road you use to get to the launch ramps just you keep going. launch ramps are 10 bucks per vehicle so i usually just park at baby beach and make the paddle to save the cash.

I might join you Tim, I don't know yet about the weekend, do you work on sunday, what about sunday?
And why do you not think you are ready for mister T as long as you got back up, they are the bomb...

I fish solo because all of my fishing buddies are still in float tubes. If you guys end up going, I'd like to join if you don't mind.

Thanks. I know Dana pretty well. I too launch from baby beach when I'm there in my float tube or yak. My weekend is pretty much wide open. All I've got planned is fishing and I'm not too partial as to where. I'll keep an eye out for your post for the meet up.

Thanks,
Randy

Ill be out on a 3/4 charter out of Dana Wharf on sunday but i am off of work saturday and definitely plan on gettin out there. Gotta figure out my bait tank situation before saturday though.

I think ill give it another few outings before i go after Mr. T....backup or no backup. But definitely look forward to meetin a couple of you fella's out there.

Saturdays lookin pretty damn good according to magicseaweed...1-2 with 16sec intervals and high60s

i went down today, didnt find any signs that said baby beach but found the beach in the back of the harbor with alot of kayakers so im assuming thats it. so heres the launch site ill be at (pic below). and it still stands for 6am. since its about an hours drive. i could try for 5 or 5:30 if you guys would rather do that.

Dunegoat · 06-08-2011, 10:00 PM

I have been working at the Hyatt in LB(By the convention Center)and the job is 9-5 so I have been fishing in the morning on the belmont pier.2 weeks ago I saw a small thresher jumping clear out of the water and a guy said that some were caught off the pier this year.Yesterday there is a guy with 4 heavier setups out flylining live baits.He said he has caught 2 off the pier this year both were quite small at about 40# or so(the size most of us would throw back)

Just food for thought to chew on.They are out there.
