Hi there Fishslayer,
Boy oh boy! The start of this season is really confusing. One day Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Anacapa, then Santa Catalina, next Clemente, and yet again the Coronados are turning out impressive fish counts of either yellowtail or WSB.
If I were a gambling man, I'd drive to whatever landing was hitting the island/fish species of my choice. Weather aside, the bite to the north seems steady, Catalina spotty with Clemente and south taking advantage of the yellowtail bites.
Pierpoint trip Thursday to Catalina got me no yellowtail (they were breezing by so fast I couldn't throw a jig in their path fast enough) or WSB. Everything about the trip other than that was great.
