The first week of December was productive from a quantity standpoint. All the boats are basically bottom fishing for Red Snapper, Sheephead, Whitefish and of course Lingcod. Local boats are doing well at the islands but also had a couple outstanding days fishing the coast. In fact over the weekend the boats that fished the coast were in early because they caught there limit of nice Rockfish so fast. The overnight boats have been enjoying good weather so they have been going to San Miguel Island with regularity. If you looking for not only a lot of Lingcod but big ones, this is the trip for you! All the overnight boats have been reporting easy limits of Lingcod to go along with respectable numbers of Whitefish and Sheephead. They have also been catching limits of Rockfish with Vermilion Rockfish making up the bulk of the 10 fish limit.

Today’s Fish Count: 8 boats and 164 anglers
1,384 Rockfish, 274 Lingcod, 54 Sheephead, 145 Ocean Whitefish, 16 Bonito and 1 Calico Bass.
