Fish Report for Tuesday, March 25th:
Weather: A band of showers in creeping into Southern California but rainfall is not guaranteed. What is forecasted is a bit of wind. We had a little wind in the afternoons last few days and it has done a number on the 64-65 degree water temps we had. I was at Catalina Sunday and water temps were 61-62 degrees.
Catalina: Very good signal on the seabass dissolved when the water temps dropped. What little bit of yellowtail was biting ended as well. Squid looks to be very makable on the front and I saw signs up the back that are very promising. Making bait was not easy, we used underwater lights and a custom crowder to fill the tanks. Please do not go over with a toy squid light and expect to catch much bait (or even see any).
SCI: Same deal here with cooling water temps. Its only a matter of time before a big batch of Coronado Islands yellowtail shows up at SCI, and some of it already has. As always, this island will come alive with no warning and one lucky boat that took a chance will make a big score. With the weather coming at the same time as the good tides end of this week, I think we have to focus on the next 1st quarter moon phase and hope for stable weather.
SBI: A few big yellows before water temps dropped, and a handful of seabass as well. Kept very quiet, but the fish are still there.
Coastal: Its been an amazing year for the coastal seabass if you are a free diver. Some real monsters on just a couple spots. Anglers are resorting to mackerel for bait with little to no squid around. Once the squid shows up, it will become very obvious where these tankers are and have been. This has been going on for over a month now.
