HERE'S WHERE I WOULD GO TODAY

Bluefin back on with the high speed trolling, yellowtail and bonito fill in the action at the islands

Here's Where I Would Go Today July 6, 2022

Bluefin are back chewing the fast troll Nomad Mad Mac and are being caught inside of 15 miles off of Oceanside as well as on the ridge up to Clemente……..Spreader bars are still working…….this is that coastal bite that everyone hopes for……..get on it before it moved offshore….

Newport Reef – Seabass & T-Sharks

Here's Where I Would Go Today May 30, 2020

Reports over the weekend are coming in that Newport reef is holding smaller grade threshers and big white seabass. Everyone’s pretty tight lipped on what their eating.. But the Newport bait receive is open for business now, so I’m assuming either sardine or macs, but this one came off a lure. Keep sending us your reports.. Good luck!

Local Broadbill On The Bite

Here's Where I Would Go Today October 10, 2019

This year has been off the hook for swordfish.. some of the biggest numbers caught since the Zane Grey days. Guys are getting them on the deep drop & baiting them up on the surface. A couple of hot spots have been the East end of Catalina and the 9 mile bank.
Charlie had a good day earlier this month bagging 3.
Nice work Charles! Keep sending in those reports.. and good luck!

Big Bluefin On The Bite

Here's Where I Would Go Today July 23, 2019

We received a good report this morning that the backside of Clemente is heating up. The bigger grade of bluefin are back on the chew as we come off the full moon. The hot ticket was fishing the kite using a dead flyer.. the action really picked up after 5pm. The beast weighed in at 280lb, congrats!

Newport Bass Bite

Here's Where I Would Go Today June 26, 2019

Below Newport harbor at the #2 spot the calico bite is red hot! If you can get some anchovies your set. But their also inhaling the artificial and the larger dines.. you’ll need to anchor up off the kelp in about 75′ of water… make sure to get a chum line started to draw them in and keep’em around.

Catalina Yellows

Here's Where I Would Go Today June 3, 2019

Front side for photos.

This weekend lots of reports were coming in.. yellows are biting at the East & West ends of the island… and all points in between.
Rob Kirnbauer sent in a report of a decent grade of yellows being caught at the West end.
6 out of 9 tails we’re on the iron.. great score!
Look for up hill current. Keep sending in those reports, thanks guys!
