SANTA MONICA BAY — From Redondo the rule was all bottom biters of one sort or another, rockfish, a few lings, and sculpin. Runs were sparse though and Marina Del Rey Sportfishing put out a few more trips. But still those west winds even made it into Santa Monica Bay and kept all dockside some days. With the New Del Mar back fishing they found lots of sculpin, limits some ½-day runs, as well as rockfish. The ¾-days on the Spitfire bagged boat limits of the sharp-spined red devils consistently, addng a few sand bass and halibut too. The Betty-O was rockfish bound, getting anglers between 7 and 10 fish average bags each run.

LONG BEACH/SAN PEDRO — With the Fall season the number of trips being run aboard the partyboat fleet has, as is usual, considerably reduced. However the evening lobster runs from LA waterfront continued to be popular and the reason seemed clear – lots of legal lobster. And shorts too numerous to count. Long Beach Sportfishing’s fleet seemed to be the busiest of the 4 landings in the region. The Eldorado even managed to dodge Friday’s windy weather to make a modest catch, while most of the rest of the coast was tied tight to the dock. That boat is transitioning to its winter schedule, with the deep waters surrounding San Nicolas Island the target. Local runs on the Victory pagged huge numbers of whitefish and rockfish. At 22^nd Street Landing Capt. Shon Roberts has embarked on readying his new deluxe 6-pack Ghost for this winter. Capt. Mike Potvin has taken over full operation and management of the Pride. The Monte Carlo was one of the few there with a recent report, getting a bunch of whitefish on a ½-day. The Pursuit was posted as fishing a 1.5-day – loading up on the bottom stuff and bagging a sample of tuna and yellowtail too just before the west winds took over the outer banks for the week. Over at Pierpoint Landing the City of Long Beach and Enterprise continue schedule late-week and weekend local runs, with the overnight boat Toronado online fishing 1.5-day runs over the weekend.
