- Dense fog waited right at the coastline, but visibility was just enough to let me get out to try some of my favorite spots. I started off fishing a shipwreck in 70' of water, and the calico and sand bass were on the chew! There was almost no current, so I dropped down to a 1/2oz leadhead and #20 florocarbon leader.
After a fast-paced hour of bass fishing, I headed off to the Horseshoe Kelp, where the barracuda had been for the past few weeks. Visibility dropped to about 100 yards, and I decided to troll to locate some fish. I inadvertently stumbled on three boats that were anchored in a U shape (with me in the middle), so I decided to shut down and drift.
Pretty coo, Matt!
Thanks Stephen. It was surreal fishing in fog that dense. I could hear people all around me, but not see them.
Great video! We are going to try fishing the horseshoe area pretty soon. If you could share details on the location of the shipwreck it would be greatly appreciated!

This book is full of rocks, wrecks, and other structure. It’s got spots all over LA and Orange County- can’t recommend it enough.
How fun! what swimbait is that looks like anchovie with curly tail?
It is called a Jam (or sometimes a Wham-O). About 15 years ago I found out the company that made them was going out of business, and I bought 1,000 of them. The plastic is really durable, and they last for a lot of fish.
Also, what phenix rod were you using?
It’s a PSW 866L. I’ve had it for maybe 15 years, and love it. Pretty good casting range with the 8 1/2’ length, and it also makes it easy to maneuver over people on a crowded boat.
