Run should be a 4 letter word  ::)  ;D

I'm surprised the Rangers don't know you by now ;D

2026 is starting off well for you as far as fishing goes, hopefully the Job Market improves as well !

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / 1/4 Sunset Beach in the Rain
Last post by jrodda - January 04, 2026, 12:16:25 PM
V quick report.

Planned last night to fish Newport pre-dawn drifting medium-heavy gear, but couldn't sleep all night so bailed on the early rise, got out around 0900. Didn't look rainy out so I wore shorts instead of neoprene pants. Got to the beach and realized the neoprene would have been the play. Brought an 11' rod to throw 1.5oz c-rig with whole squid, with the aim of walking with the current.

Swell was around 3', wind was around 5mph from the south. 0900 was a 7' high tide so I was fishing the top of the outgoing.

Overall I got one short bite, not much life, but the water looked really good. Not much junk in the wash, water color was great, some good milky spots.

Fishing Talk / 2026 Goals
Last post by jrodda - January 03, 2026, 09:16:21 PM
I had a wildly frustrating year of fishing in 2025 without a boat. I'm so convinced there are no fish in this county that I want to move somewhere south of Carlsbad the minute Alicia graduates nursing school. But since that's still a couple years out, I'm going to keep challenging myself around here.

Just a few simple goals to help me get out:
1. 52 trips
2. 365 fish
3. 1 new species
4. OC striper
5. local trout (one within 5 miles of my house, 3 potential lakes)

I'm probably gonna wait one more year before the next boat, although if a killer deal comes up I may swoop on it.

Anything come to mind for ya'll? Is this the year for pontoon part 2 for Timmy?

Decent trip! I'm sure he wouldn't have minded if you called the old guy an intolerable raisin.

I suppose I should head to one of the better stocked lakes in north county to prove my skunks are a result of Mile Square Park and not skill.
