Whats being caught?
Rockfish is always on the menu here in the Channel Islands area.. nothing better for the dinner plate!
Sand Bass are FINALLY here and biting hard! Also excellent eating, these bass are fun shallow water fighters.
Barracuda are also still around, and probably the most fun when caught on a surface jig.
White Seabass are in the area, but not biting like everyone would like.. however they could just be holding out till the holiday weekend?
Halibut are still being caught.. several record catches already this season, and most averaging over 30lbs.
Sheephead and Whitefish are also biting on our shallow reefs. These fish fight hard, and can range in size but we have recently seen sheephead in the 20lb size class.
Many other species to see ~including calico bass, yellowtail, sculpin, and lingcod. Every day is different, so you never know what you'll catch!
