Anglers Making a Difference Releasing Rockfish in Southern California
Scott Buchert from Corona del Mar is educating anglers in Southern California about how they can release rockfish suffering from barotrauma so that they will live to fight another day.
Instrumental in this effort is Dr. Chris Lowe from Long Beach State University and Tom Raftican from the Sportfishing Conservancy.
Find out how you can make a difference by visiting CSULB Shark Lab on Facebook and SportfishingConservancy.org.

Catching Fish that can Fly!!
In this video, I go fishing for flying fish and other species with my good buddy Carl from Slob City Charters off the coast of Florida. Seriously, we were fishing for fish that can fly! Once we got to the fishing spot, we set up our drift, deployed the chum bag and started fishing. Within less than an hour, I spotted the first flying fish in the chum slick. I tossed a small piece of bonito for bait, and within seconds, I was hooked up to the first flying fish of the day. After catching the first flying fish, it was game on! The flying fish bite was epic! We caught seven in total. While I was fishing for flying fish, Carl caught several cobia and a few mutton snappers. After finding our bait, we set up another drift and used the flying fish for bait to catch wahoo, sailfish, and dolphin. While kite fishing, a giant hammerhead shark swam into the spread and tried to eat our kite baits. As the hammerhead shark was trying to eat our kite baits, one of the flying fish we were using for bait got hit by a dolphin. Carl reeled in the dolphin while I was trying to hook the hammerhead shark. We ended the day catching a small reef shark before heading in. It's also a blast catching flying fish and using them for bait to work our way up the food chain.

10+ Legal Calico Bass-Excellent Break Wall Fishing in Long Beach, CA(Part 1)
Due to uploading difficulties I had to make this a 2 part video. It has a weird cut-off point at 9 minutes but the rest is in Pt. 2!
Here's a video of a great day Kelp(Calico) Bass fishing at the Long Beach Break Wall. We are using live and cut bait, sardines and Mackerel. This was filmed during an incoming morning tide in late June of 2017.
The style of fishing is basically horsing them in as quickly as possible until you can see the fish. The reason for this is they are extremely strong and very quick to kelp you, meaning snag you in the kelp or any other sort of cover they can find. It is most common to find them in the kelp though, hence the name Kelp Bass.
This is one of the best days we've had targeting these fish. I got 11 legals on film, and I know for sure there were plenty more than that caught by the Capt. and myself. The best fish for me comes at the end on cut bait, a 4-5 pound 19 incher! Hope you enjoy.
