Hey there guys,
Southern California Saltwater
Report for August 18, 2003 (Monday)
BFT caught on a San Diego 3/4 day boat!
Marlin YFT and dorado caught on a San Diego day boat.
Way Up North- Avala
Lots of rockfish and a few albies
Up North- Channel Islands
Good sand bass bite but the staple bite still those rockfish.
LA Area- Catalina Island
Same old story Calicos, Barracuda and big 'ol breezin' yellows. I do believe a good number of yellows were caught today but I don't know if it was Catalina or Clemente.
Further South- San Clemente
Some boats from Dana and Newport had good counts of yellows so my money is there's a good bite of yellows at Clemente it just those guys are keeping it quiet.
San Diego- Local and Albacore
Albacore being caught on the 3/4 day as well as the all day.
The local bite is a real crap shoot. You might catch anything right now. No kiddin' Hit the right paddies or temperature break and you'll get a big suprise.
LA Local
Decent sand bass bite again up at the SMB top end and down Newport and Dana Point way. OK bite in the middle too with sand bass, barracuda and calicos up further on the 'Shoe'.
