Big bump keeps the boats in and the numbers down

Local lakes loading up on trout

Inshore: Rockfish continue to dominate the local catch on bumpy seas. Not a lot of folks venturing out, but those ½ day and ¾ day boats that do are finding good action on the bottom for sheephead, whitefish, bocaccio, and sculpin. Calico bass are biting well when the current sets up right to fish the kelp edge and sand bass are stacked up when found on the flats, especially off Imperial Beach in 60-80 feet of water. Though no schooling tuna or yellowtail close enough and too rough outside for extended ¾ day runs, a couple home-guard yellowtail and the occasional white seabass are finding their way into the local count.

Outside: The big NW swell kept a lot of the overnight and longer boats at the dock this past week. Friday’s high winds kept everyone on terra firma. The Condor made it out Wednesday the 9th with 26 anglers aboard an overnight trip and scored 58 yellowfin tuna; the only tuna caught out of a San Diego Sportfishing landing within 4-day range since Sunday the 6th. The long-range boats operating in Baja Sur and the banks below there are reporting several yellowfin tuna over 200 pounds caught and good wahoo action on the way back up off Bahia Magdalena and the high spots south of Cedros..
