Southern California Saltwater Report 10/23-29 - JapanRon - 10-24-2003
Southern California Saltwater
Report for October 23, 2003 (Thursday)
San Diego is still just killing the yellowtail with 100+ yellowtail catches a boat happening again today! Some of the South Coast boats aren't doin' to shabby either!
The Blue Horizon on a 3/4 day trip with 18 anglers got over 35 yellows and 25 skippies.
Way Up North- Avila and Monterey
Rockfish limits.
Up North- Channel Islands
Rockfish and a mixed bag of snapper, etc.
LA Area- Catalina Island
Lots of Bonito
Further South- San Clemente
I'll bet yellows are being caught there but confirmation is nowhere to be found... by me!
San Diego- Local and Offshore
Local yellowtail action by the 3/4 boats is awesome just awesome. Skipjacks and other fish in the mix too.
LA Local
Sculpin, Rockfish a few halibut and bass. South of LA harbor, some of the South Coast boats including the Freelance, Cat Special and the Dana Pride are getting those yellowtail again today in great big ol numbers.

Yellowtail still good on the San Diego local scene.
Way Up North- Avila and Monterey
Rockfish.
Up North- Channel Islands
Rockfish and various species make for a mixed bag
LA Area- Catalina Island
Bonito pretty good with other species starting to pick up.
Further South- San Clemente
No idea.
San Diego_ Local and Offshore
Lots of yellowtail on the local boats with good bites on the offshore scene too.
LA Local
Bass, Barracuda, and Bonito seem to be the staple except for the South Coast landings which are gettin good catches of yellows. (i.e. Newport, Davey's, and Dana Wharf landings)

San Diego Yellows bite still good!
Bonito bite in the LA area good to very good.
Newport and Dana Wharf boats doing good on the yellows.... San Clemente Weekend Trips??????
Way Up North- Avila and Monterey
Rockfish
Up North- Channel Islands
Rockfish BUT..... Check out Patriot Sportfishing as they are going to have some contests and their counts were pretty good today too! ha ha
LA Area- Catalina Island
Calicos, Perch, Bonito and a few Barracuda
Further South- San Clemente
Don't know much but I'll bet some of the South Coast Overnight or all-day sporties went there and got some yellows and calicos.
San Diego- Local and Off shore
very very good for most landings and it will be worth going out and have a chance at a yellow on a 3/4 day boat.
LA Local
SMB Sculpin and Snappers with South of Rocky Point getting a really mixed bag of bonito, barracuda, calico, sandbass, and the various rockfish.

Yellowtail still getting slammed by SD boats and a South Coast boat the Dana Pride.
Lots of Bonito everywhere with SMB fishing about the best its been all season.
Way Up North- Avila and Monterey
Up North- Channel Islands
LA Area- Catalina Island
Bonito and Calicos are a pretty steady bite.
Further South- San Clemente
Calicos and a few yellows showing for the week-end trips.
San Diego- Local and Offshore
Although the traffic has got to hurt the bite good bite on a number of species locally. Offshore offers the multi-day boats good counts of yellows and yellowfin tuna.
LA Local
SMB bite really good on the sculpin and bonito. Yellowtail and bonito schools showing all over the place with the bite on the bonito bigtime and bass, barracuda and rockfish following behind.
