Catalina, SBI and SCI Fish Reports
Fish Report for Monday, October 23rd:
Coastal Seabass: Here is the deal guys, the TANKERS are biting. Either find the squid and fish where the squid is for a chance at the fish of a lifetime, or get on a trip with someone that knows this stuff. I admit this is not my area of expertise, and would highly recommend that you consider a private charter with one of the pros at coastal tanker fishing. Brandon Hayward has been on the seabass all year and has openings. Give him a call 1(949)212-0719. Here is Brandon’s website, please check it out. One Man Charters. Another pro at this seabass deal on the coast is Barry Brightenberg 1(619)540-8944. Website: Always An Adventure is Barry’s charter business. The reality here is that this is not my neck of the woods, and for me to send a bunch of people down to where these guys make a living and feed their families is just plain wrong. I do not want to be the one responsible for an angry mob like the ones earlier this year.
CATALINA: Now we’re talking my neck of the woods. Some really big yellows here down east. They are moving around so you’ll have to find the current and clear water. On the back there are some seabass mixed in with bigger yellows, and lots of barracuda around the whole East End. The squid you’ll need is in the Isthmus from the High Spot all the way to Emerald, and at Little Harbor. There is squid in other areas too, and lots of it. Up west got looked at a lot with very few fish seen or caught. That stuff either moved or is taking a break. On the middle of the island there are some 5-10lb yellows. Look from Red Bluff to Yellowtail Point for these fun little guys.
Local: Still great halibut fishing inside LB Harbor and south to the HB Pier. A few threshers around to eat your halibut baits, but again, small pups so don’t go out and kill a bunch of them. Bite times are early morning and late afternoon. Mid day there is a debilitating low tide that won’t help you with much.
