Fish Report for Friday, November 1st:
Great Weather: Good tides and great weather with lots of interesting things going on. If anyone actually gets out, who knows what will happen. Read on……
Coastal Squid: Gaviota, Deep Hole (and that whole area) is coming alive with squid. Absolutely no doubt there are seabass up that way. Middle grounds from Newport to below Dana there is more possibilities, check out Barn Kelp. Lots of squid and seabass discussions. This in one of those deals where they are probably catching fish and keeping it real quiet. Right about now, they are wishing they had called me and told me what was happening so I could keep it a secret. Lesson learned. Below that, the La Jolla area has more of the same but the seabass have been there for months.
Threshers: Really fun fishing off Newport and all the way up through the inside of the LA/LB Breakwall and up into Santa Monica Bay. Find the balls of anchovy, and its game on. Lots of small guys around, almost a slam dunk.
Colonet: Still the bluefin here, and all around the area. Nice weather this weekend, I’d make the run if I had a ride. Sitting on the anchor catching BFT’s, rockfish and lingcod and big yellows at the same time. Heaven on earth boys.
Halibut: Fall spawn is starting, and its going to get really good. Most never even know there is a fall spawn and bite, so it never gets fished much. Shallow waters along the coast and at the islands.
Catalina: Squid is up the back from Church to Salta Verde, with yellows and seabass on it. When the conditions are right, the fish will bite.
San Clemente and Santa Barbara Islands: SCI has the squid in Pyramid holding the yellows and seabass at the Caves and to China Point. Again, if the conditions get right, this will bite. SBI has the big giant yellows in the anchorage wanting the squid on the dropper loop early in the morning. You’ll hook a few, but its no bonanza. Then what do you do from there? Maybe some halibut or sheepshead fishing.
