All we've gotten so far are those slimy barracudas-- we've got enough of them already--

Plenty of live Squid available -- were here right in front of Avalon-- just east of it---

We just put one in--- about 150lbs-- Mako? the question was asked--

San Clemente Islands big Yellowtails bite again early this morning in the Cove-- by 8-9am the bite tapered off- ---boats working down the line-- the Canyon report 66.6 degrees not much happening to them yet-- 11:09am

We worked the 43 Fathom Spot for the past hour-- lots of birds around here-- were seeing quite a few kelps-- checked out a dozen or more-- some bait but we haven't seen any yellowtail yet-- 2:34pm

Smaller Mako Sharks bit well today-- destined for tomorrow's grill--

 -----------------Have a Happy 4th! ------------

1. CLOUDINESS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER LOCATED SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF ACAPULCO MEXICO.  SOME SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS SYSTEM IS POSSIBLE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD.  THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...LESS THAN 30 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

 

-------Thursdays Report-----------------

 Strong temperatures breaks deserve some exploring both here close to the beach and again below Clemente Island. The inner break stretching from Carlsbad towards the 277  and the outer break running Southeast from Clemente Island towards the tuna grounds off Ensenada--

Live Bait-- Live squid off the East End of Catalina and also at the bait receives..
San Pedro Baqit Co. in Cabrillo and Newport both now have live squid.The squid is in excellent condition! And both locations also have anchovy and sardine.
Newports is mixed & Cabrillo has it separate.

Making mackerel at Newport's Jetty entrances-- Hi JD,  Kyle and I had no problem making bait ‘mackeral’ off the east jetty 6-7 fathoms on the hook and plenty of cat food.  Once it gets going, all you want – mostly the smaller 8” -10” size. Too windy to fish our normal west jetty spot, so we tucked in the lee of the east jetty.  B.H.

Increasing wind from the west this afternoon--- stronger the further south you go-- Can I get a fish report from the flats, horseshoe--- skipper? --- real windy- no fish-- 12:30pm

 They haven really moved since we got here maybe a 1/2 mile in the past hour-- south of Dana Pt-- Blue Whales-- they sit tight for a while ---you just have to sit and wait em' out. -- There's still a lot of white caps not as bad as earlier--- -- ok  ---it's still blowing - but nice when you see em'--they blow so high- so they really aren't that hard to see- not like the dolphins in this white capping water---

short period 2-3 ft wind swell/chop made the day a little uncomfortable for most boaters-- turning the corner around the East end of the island (Cat)  towards the back and you were refreshed with 20/25 knts and salt in your face-- a little sloppy--  

 not many fish reports heard-- 1/2 day boats reported brown sharks and mackerel along with some sculpin for their counts and a few bass too-

--------------------------------Wed's Report-------------------------------

Sand Bass were starting to show up on the mud flats off  Huntington Flats-- their yearly migrations to these flats to spawn and feed in the clam beds that can be found in the softer mud bottoms, backside of the water swept (similar to a wind swept hill) of these low laying bottom ridges hold mud and the clams, the front sides are more of a harder sand bottom and have baitfish on them.

Live Bait report ----

 The Pamela Rose is dropping off a fresh load of live squid at approximately noon today 7/01/09. Newport Bait Barge----  We also have anchovies with sardines mixed in. Good luck to all.

Water temps-- said to be as cold as 59 1/2 degrees! If your coming down to the beach in the next few days-- better bring a jacket!

Late report---- marlin seen between the 267 and the 14 Mile Bank this morning-- seen by a stick boat--  a look at the water temps for the past three days revels that's about right--

In a question to San Pedro Bait Co- to Todd- I asked the question to him trying to assess the amount squid being caught this late in the year, July-?-  a normal year we'd be losing the squid and seeing more fin bait now - JD

Seems like every year has been different for quite a few years. We’ve been catching squid in august for the past few years. Most others are concentrating on offshore fish at that time of year and bait haulers focus on the fin bait for them. With the sardine fishery being so limited these days, the commercial fleet spends more time looking for squid too. Clemente with squid this time of year and into august is off the hook on a regular basis, but it gets little pressure as soon as something shows up offshore. Whatever its worth we caught five Bluefin on Monday 15 miles se of the head. All on live squid. We couldn’t get a boil on sardines. Stuff was moving fast to the se chasing 2” anchovies. Saw some small albies out there too 8 lbers. Water looked great with a lot of bait so hopefully that area will get going soon. It should. Todd--

More on the proposed ban on fishing along So Calif/ Laguna Beach--- please read and vote your voice about it--It's not just a decision that is affecting themselves it effects all of us--  JD

-- E-Mail report ----Hey JD-
 Just thought I would share this link with you. 
It is to an article in the Laguna Beach Independent about the City Council Members supporting a motion to close their coast to all fishing.  If you look in the right hand column, there is a poll about what us as readers think.  All fishermen I know are taking the time to read the article and vote NO to close the coast.  Hoping you and some of your website visitors may do the same. Thanks, M.

---------------------Tuesday's Report ----------------------

Report form the Alure--- fishing the Hidden Bank below the border 31:42/over 117:15-- yesterday ( Monday) most of the S D fleet was there- sloppy conditions for most -- they had limited out ( 5 fish each- four anglers) on the albacore est. at around 15-18lb fish-- and working a kelp pulled out a couple of  yellows-- when asked what the best colors they had for the tunas-- a mix of colors brighter colors as well as the purple and black smaller mini- jet heads worked  well-- working the general area from dawn till the afternoon hours-- maybe a better bite as the day went on.

 

Any Live Squid for sale--- the question asked on Ch-11--- only a few stupid remarks came back - so we still don't know for sure if it's available or not?-- JD

Water temps cooled off along the beach-- 61-62 degrees!  When you think about it--- their still selling live squid and here it's almost July---- normally the squid would be gone by now-- ?

E-Mail report---- JD, We left Dana Point Harbor at 4 pm on Sunday and made a very slow and rough crossing to Catalina in search of squid.  No squid boats anywhere to be seen and nobody would answer our calls on channel 11 for squid.  Due to the nature of the seas, we tucked in close to seal rocks for a few hours of sleep.  At 2:00am, we rounded the corner and saw bright lights that lit up the sky and low clouds off Ben Weston.  About 15-20 Squid boats covered the area off of Ben Weston.  I guess my radio would not transmit over the island because as I called out to them on the backside it seemed like the squid boats were fighting for my 60$ scoop.  Anchored up at 3:00am in rough sloppy seas and started fishing.   Caught a few rays and lost what I assume was a large WSB or a nice yellowtail.  That was the only action from the bait ground.  That water color was green and cold at about 61 degrees.  We pulled anchor and searched for nicer water on the backside of the island and decided to head west.  Fished little harbor and west end for nothing.  Water looked good and was close to 66 degrees even 1 mile west of the bait grounds.   Hen Rock was great for small calicos until a school of large bonita and barracuda swam through and gave us some light tackle fun before a rough ride home.   I heard that Clemente was good and Mark on the Pacific Edge did well with the YT on the more traditional backside bait grounds.  If the weather was nicer I would have continued with my plans to fish Clemente but unfortunately had to call off that distance due to the rough seas.  Talk soon, G. H. (Hooked)

 Sounds like the partyboats locally were targeting the Calico Bass and a few bonito at Catalina-

Walked to the dock this afternoon--- made 3 cast --no bites the water looks cold, green and murky- doesn't look fishy at all-- winds blowing from the west-- cool air when the sun's behind the clouds. Water feels cold. gave up.

 

------------Monday's Report--------------------------

What started out to look like it'd burn off-- remained overcast till noon and stronger wind from the south blew in-- swing to the west in the afternoon-- still for the most part overcast--

 Sportfishers heading up the line from Cabo-- really took in in the shorts this weekend-- as that High moved in and kept a strong westerly on the outside blowing  creating swells and wind--

A sheephead and a handful of bass- was one 1/2 days mornings count another had a few cudda to add to their count-----

A couple of Thresher Sharks hooked today off Laguna-- on Rapala lures slow trolled--- smaller fish

Checking with the San Clemente Island Security-  San Clemente Island Security for the Fourth of July Weekends holiday---It looks like starting Wed-- Pyramid Cove will be closed 8am to 11am then open the rest of the week through the weekend-- Fri, Sat and Sunday--- 

Newport Bait barges has Sardines

 

Hi JD. Thought I would share one of our clients fish report.  Larry Little on his Cabo 40 FB “Wahoo”Take care, Caprice

We went to the 238 slow fishing but managed 8 albies fished the islands on the way back, catching red snapper  and some lings.  Heard the Marlin are starting to show, saw one jumper coming up the line yesterday.

Boat ran great, looks nice!

 

E-Mail report --- JD--Reports from several anglers fishing the YT tournament Saturday reported fast moving schools of bluefin on the Hidden Bank.  They threw everything at them, no bites.  Feeding on tiny forage and traveling fast to the NW.  They had scattered jig strikes on albacore 2-7 fish per a boat.  Just a handful of yellows under the kelps.  A few boats bringing their squid back from SCI and Catalina hammered the big sea bass in La Jolla Cove, and bigger grade yellows.  Good luck B.H. .

JD,  We had a big release of white sea bass from the grow out pen in Dana Point Harbor on Friday with over 15 volunteers from the sport fishing community  hand counting and releasing the 5,025 fish who had an average length of 8.5 inches.  After feeding and growing these fish for the past 120 days, it took about an hour and forty minutes to accomplish the release task and a big thank you is deserved for all who participated.  John Riordan

 

--------------------------------The Weekend's Report ----------------

The Chinese were on the radio early this morning- responding criticism which sounded something like marsian talk kept other chiming in-- Ahaaa--  the summer radio chatter begins----

 Yea we got four nice size halibut and a nice sized White Sea Bass over at Eagles Nest this morning---

We came out of that 62degree water to that break at 64 1. -- 64.4 some bait around metered a couple of fish-- got bit on one of the jigs and we got four others on the bait---on that 50 out line, just inside the little bump--

White Caps mid channel 10-14 knts northwest---building

Some action on the Yellowtail and a few White Sea Bass at Clemente Island this morning --- not as good as yesterday though--

--------Sat report ----------------------

The Balboa Angling Bay Bass tournament was held in Newport Harbor this morning- lots of teams competing for the event-- good to see such a turnout- and the current/ tide should provide a decent bite---

We fished the front side (Catalina) -- got there for decent bass and a few barracudas-- the current seems to have died down about an hour ago-- things have quieted down for now-- 11:28am

 Long Beach Carnage selling live squid off the east end of Catalina just east of Avalon-- ch 11-

Coming back in from the 181 -- nice blue water there but we got nothing---

Pescador-- you at Clemente---- we're in the cove-- catching the yellows-- how's you weather--- nice but no sky-- nice big yellows were here on the 277 a westely swell with some wind--- little bit of breezy here off Clemente too.

 Tow cattleboats talking to each other off Catalina---- coming back around from the backside of the island----- then into somewhere on the front side--- looks like there some barracuda round- boiling on the bait---  look-- there's some yellowtail up swell of us boiling-- we haven't hooked one yet---- fifteen minutes go by-- only a couple of barracuda so far---- now where do we go-- we back around the corner these was still some current-- water temps were lower--  we've got six or sever barracudas here now--- 10:22am

A couple of nice big halibuts in on the pipeline off Newport/ Huntington--- hard to satisfy the 80 anglers aboard the partyboats-- they had to go looking for more fish-

Swordfish boats out looking for Broadbills--- I think there were only the three fish stuck this past week mid channel (San Pedro)  so far--- overall is been a slow start for them this year---  April, May and June were productive months in the past-- but so far only those three so far--- on the- not a whole lot of forage food in the water- anchovies, or sardines, mackerels etc.  off shore-

To remind all anglers this season--- the Fish and Game laws allow only one marlin per day--- but you can catch two swordfish!    So limit your kills-- JD

We just hit one 20-25 lb off a paddy --- in the area we were talking about earlier-----you coming up this way---  we found a little gold mine--- there's a bunch of patties here -- we'll troll around and see what we can do--- 11:50am

How you doing--- a lot of open water with very little to show for it---

32:54/118:19 --- We ran up on him pretty quick-- at first we thought it was a mola mola-- then saw it was a marlin-- it's sunk out now but we've got a bait out---were in the lee of Clemente island---- 1:19 pm--  High tide today--- 2:34pm

 

1st. Marlin of the Season--- Estimated at-- 130 -140 lbs-- released-- using 40lb Big Game "Bob Hoose special Line",   Andrew Z. the angler--- vessel Mirage, captained by Andy-

E-Mail Report from Catalina---- JD-  We Fished Catalina yesterday.  We bought our squid from the Carnage out in front of Avalon.  The water has really warmed and cleaned up on the backside – 66-67 and clean blue.  We caught four sea bass and one legal halibut on the bait grounds (16 -17 fathoms) yesterday afternoon  – dropper loop rigs (#30 Big Game, Aki 7/0 hooks, 4-6 oz torpedo sinkers)  and white lead heads.  With SCI closed, the entire seiner fleet moved to Catalina.  Very busy night - turned the bite off for the grey light.  There are some log barracuda mixed in too, and some legal halibut.  Backside beaches we had some decent calico fishing, another sea bass, and had two 25 lb yellowtail fly lining squid.  Fluorocarbon leader made a difference, we were using #20 and #30 lb Berkley Vanish to 5/0 and 6/0 Aki hooks.  Heavy on the chum to get the fish going.  Some 3-6 lb bonita showed up, as well as more calicos.  We kept moving around to find the current, but once you found that condition- it was decent fishing all along the backside.  Front side had wind against current and too many seals.  Good luck. Bob H

Cabo San Lucas FISHING:  Fly Hooker Sportfishing
www.flyhooker.com  

BILLFISH:s Boats that targeted Striped Marlin this week were having very mixed results.  One day the fish would bite and the next they all had their mouths closed no matter what you put in front of them.  When they were on the bite, getting three of four strikes on a mix of lures and bait was normal and the majority of the boats were able to release one or two fish.  When the bite was off, no one was getting anything going.  There were a few Blue Marlin caught this week as well as a couple of Black Marlin reported, and the size of the fish was decent at an average of 250 pounds.  They were all found on the Sea of Cortez, and they struck on lures

YELLOWFIN TUNA:  For most of the week the action continued to be slow with a few fish being found among Dolphin, and most of the fish were footballs between 5 and 12 pounds.  A good catch would be 4 fish.  At the end of the week there were a few very nice fish between 100 and 150 pounds brought in, caught among the big black porpoise in the Sea of Cortez.  Hopefully they will remain in our area for a few days longer

DORADO:  Dorado were the fish of the week for offshore anglers as they were almost everywhere on the Cortez side of the Cape.  Along with numbers that averaged between three to six fish per boat came a very nice average size at between 15-20 pounds.  A few small fish in the 10-pound class balanced out the few caught that were over 50+ pounds, and there were quite a few in the 30-40 pound category.  Trolling lures along the current lines and under frigate birds worked very well and then once hooking up, dropping back a live bait for following fish had good results

INSHORE: Fish of the week for inshore anglers was the Roosterfish.  Although they were not everywhere, when you did find them they were there in good numbers.  The high swells at the start of the week and at the end of the week put them off their feed for a while, but they did bite well once they got going.  This week end I had a report of one boat fishing live bait catching two fish over 60 pounds, one of just under 40 pounds and quite a few in the 15-25 pound class.  Up around San Jose there were good numbers of small fish in the 5-10 pound class
