LONG BEACH/SAN PEDRO — Local waters produced nice and consistent mix of both bas, bonito and barracuda with a few yellowtail in the mix as well. Backing that top-water stuff were whitefish as needed. The Victory had 93 bass for 25 anglers Sunday, plus nearly 40 barracuda, 75 bonito and 125 whitefish, 3 yellowtail – nice mix from local waters.

ORANGE COUNTY — Good catch and release bass fishing inshore but with the shelf break just a couple of miles out the local waters offshore fishing has been stellar, with over 100 dorado on one run for the Sum Fun. It’s been all about trolling feathers and finding kelp paddies even for the local runs. There have been lots of smaller yellowfin tuna caught, mostly 3 to 8 pounds locally.

OCEANSIDE — Much the same as for the O.C. boats, lots of those smaller yellowfin tuna skip jack on tap. Sunday the Pronto out of the SEA Center connected 11 anglers with 12 white seabass too. Mostly light line and lively baits on smaller hooks here.

SAN DIEGO — Local waters ½-day fishing showed good bass fishing and the usual coastal hard-bottom mix. Just a little offshore the variety has been crazy. A 108-pound wahoo was boated on the 9-Mile Bank and in local waters wahoo are being targeted with daily success. Full-day runs found schools of willing yellowfin and skipjack tuna. Sunday the boat San Diego had 181 yellowfin and 27 skippies for 36 anglers.
