Santa Catalina Island:
Catalina has been producing decent White Sea Bass fishing. The 6 pack boats did a number on the Sea Bass. Yellowtail fishing was also decent on the Squid grounds. Most of the Yellows were big, up to 30 pounds. Live squid was hard to come by.
One of our Customers, Mike, ran to the bait grounds on his 26’ Blackman, Patron and scored two 30 pound White Sea Bass, a 34 pound Yellowtail and a nice Halibut. He caught his fish early in the morning. He was heading back to the barn by 10 a.m.
The ¾ day boats are doing well on Calico Bass. Fly lining a sardine on 12 or 15 pound with a Flurocarbon leader has been the ticket. Bonita fishing has been wide open at the Island.

San Clementie Island:
The Overnight boats have been catching a few Yellowtail at San Clemente Island. There are a lot of Yellows at the island but they just don’t want to co-operate. My gut feeling says these fish will go on the chew this weekend since we are looking at some good weather. The Calico Bass fishing was excellent when the boats backed into the kelp. Things are looking good for our Overnight trip on the El Dorado this week. We are looking for a few more anglers.

Santa Monica Bay
Santa Monica Bay Boats found tough fishing this week. Twilight has been good. The boat Rocky Point out of Redondo sport fishing had 54 bass one night.
Captain Danny on the New Del Mar has some good vibes about fishing in Santa Monica Bay for the days to come. He likes how the water is looking in the Bay. The water is warming in the bay. He said they have been catching a few Bass on the structure spots in the afternoons. The encouraging news is that the bass are no longer in a leadhead and squid mode. His anglers were catching the bass on dropper loop Sardines. He also reported one of Thursday 1/2 day runs scored a ten pound Halibut. To make reservation for the New Del Mar call Marina Del Rey Sportfishing at 310 822- Dock.
Larry at In-Seine Bait also reported a lot of Halibut weighed in at the Fuel Dock. Twin Towers was the spot one of his customers scored 3 keepers in 50 feet of water. Larry said the water in the bay is 64-66 degrees and clean green. No more red tide. Larry also said there are a few Thresher sharks in the bay. Try fishing around bait balls. You can purchase live bait from Larry across the channel at the 76 Fuel dock. Let him know you heard about him in the Fish Report. He will take care of you.
Steve Konrady, captain of the Spitfire said the boat is chartered Saturday but will be running open party to Catalina on Sunday. The boat will have plenty of Sardines for bait so bring 1/0 and 2/0 hooks. Steve said to make sure the guys bring 12 and 15pound line. The Bass have been biting the light line. The main target will be the three B’s (Bass, Barracuda, and Bonita). Steve said he is closely monitoring the Bass and Barracuda Bite at the Horseshoe. He might run down there in the near future. Steve will run to where the fish are. The Spitfire will be departs at 6a.m. daily. You can call Redondo Sportfishing at 310 372 2111 to make reservations.

L.A. harbor:
L.A. Harbor boats are enjoying good to excellent fishing for spring time bass. The boats are scoring anywhere from 50 to 100 mixed bass. The fish were eating the plastic really good. One of the dead heads reported even catching bass on the iron. L.A and Orange county boats provide the best opportunity for great bass fishing.

Orange County”:
Sport Boats along the Orange county coast had great Bass fishing. The Barracuda fishing backed off. They are still catching them but the main body of fish must have moved.

San Deigo:
The San Diego boats had good Bass fishing this week. Both the ½ and ¾ boats consistently conked them. The Coronado Islands are producing some good Barracuda fishing.
In the local offshore waters, the kelp patties are beginning to hold decent numbers of Yellowtail. The 1 ½ day trips reported kelps were hard to come by but the ones they found held fish. The Long Range boats seem to have a monopoly on Tuna. Albacore and Bluefin Tuna are about 170 mile south of Point Loma. Wednesday the Independence scored 45 Albacore and 4 “nice sized” Bluefin Tuna. Not a bad score on the Albies. I just hope these fish push up the line and gain a few pounds in the process.
