Hey there guys,
Southern California Saltwater
Report for July 17, 2003 (Thursday)
Way Up North- Aliva
Good fishing again for salmon and various rockfish.
Up North- Channel Island
Catalina WSB and calico bite was still good although 1's and 2's still were the rule.... with some exceptions.
Further South- Clemente
Anybody want to volunteer info?
San Diego- Local
The albie count for the one dayer's is good with the local bite on the bass down and usually about half a limit if that.
LA Local
Limit fishing for 1/2 day and 3/4 day boats today. Just awesome fishing. Every single run at Berth 55 either hit limits or average over 10 fish per angler. Everybody needs to go on a boat from a landing south of point fermin to be just about guarranteed a limit on sand bass and a good shot at a bunch of barracuda.
Bait is 2 inch chovies at some receivers so you must, have to, should, am required to bring plastics. If you don't fish plastics.... start or.... you'll be sorry.
Kalins swimbaits are really doing the trick but I'm sure FT's and BH's will work to some degree. Use the painted heads with eyes as I was getting bite 5 to 6 to 1 on the more expensive leadheads. Blue and Green were good head colors. Nice grade of fish yesterday around 3 to 4 pounders common.
Albacore fishiing is awesome right now with the overnights in SD doing great!
