SAN PEDRO/LONG BEACH — The overnight boats out of the Harbor area continued to make big catches of the larger rockfish, whitefish and sheephead found out at San Nicolas Island. The Eldorado crew, Long Beach Sportfishing, loaded anglers’ bags to the top with close to 20 fish each.
Tuesday the 26 anglers on deck sacked a total of 26 cabezon, 6 lingcod, a pair of sculpin, 28 sheephead, 216 rockfish and 232 whitefish.
Along the coast the local boats fishing 3/4-day loaded up on whitefish too, albeit of a more modest grade. Saturday, 27 anglers fishing the Victory all limited out on the tile fish, taking a total of 270. Fifty rockfish, 15 scorpions and 16 sheephead added to their take.
