Good morning Guys and Gals,
The San Pedro and Newport barges both received fresh loads of live
squid this morning. Sardines have been very tuff to come by lately,
but thats not so bad since live squid has been the bait of choice
for the yellows and seabass that are scattered up and down the So
Cal Coast. As far as fin bait, there is and has been plenty of good
size anchovies around the past couple weeks. If you come across any
large areas of anchovies or sardines, I highly recommend
fishing them with either a live squid, jig, or fin bait of some
sort. The majority of the fish have been very close to the surface
and hanging high in the water column. There has been a lot of
thirty to fifty plus pound seabass mixed with the anchovies and
squid the past week and from time to time they decide to bite.
Both barges are open 24/7 for the season and can be reached at the
following numbers.....or just come on by
Newport
310-461-5370 or Ch 79 on the VHF
San Pedro
310-365-2516 or Ch 11 on the VHF
Good luck,
catch some fish, and have a great weekend!
