Southern California Saltwater Report 7/2-8 - JapanRon - 07-03-2003
Hi there guys
Southern California Saltwater
Report on July 2, 2003 (Wednesday)
STARTING A NEW WEEK OF REPORTS TODAY.
Way up north- Avila
Fishing is slow or this time of season
Up North- Channel Islands
Seems like all the landings got out (Chris's, Virg's, and Patriot) and did pretty good.
LA Area- Catalina Island
Fishing was good at the island and the traffic was practically nothing. Water was heating up to 67 and the Calicos and barracuda were biting. A few WSB were boated.
Further South
No info.....anybody know of any recent trips?
San Diego- Coronados
Albacore are biting on the multi-day trips and the averages of fish per rod vary widely by landing.
LA Local
Most local boats got a mix of Calicos, Sand bass and a few barries. Of special note, the Redondo Special, and the Victory did well on the bass.
SQUID IS NOW AVALIABLE AT THE LA HARBOR BAIT RECEIVER. GET IT WHILE YOU CAN.

Hi there guys,
Southern California Saltwater
Report on July 3, 2003 (Thursday)
Way Up North- Avila
Good salmon and Rockfish.
Up North- Channel Islands
Rock fishing just fantastic for all three major landings.
LA Area- Catalina Island
Legacy got 40+ WSB Dreamer, Sea Hawk LXV did good as well as the Cat.
Further South- Clemente
No News
San Diego- Coronado
Local fishing varies with bass and barries putting out an average of about 5 fish per rod at most landings. Albacore fishing for the multi-days is fantastic to so so. What else is new!
Local LA
Boat averages varied from landing to landing. It seems like the areas fished have different fish every day. LA boats didn't do that good while MDR and a big jump to Newport and south did good on an fish per rod per boat count.
MDR has got good anchovies and sardines.
July 4th boat loads might be light! Twilight is great if the boat goes down by Disneyland and the fireworks!

JapanRon: Somewhere in the message boards you mentioned putting on your walking shoes and strolling down the San Gabriel River and some bridge which was "BVD" I think. What is the name of that bridge and where is it? Thanks

Hi there gvanzant,
Sorry about the confusion. The bridge I start at is at the junction of the San Gaberial River and PCH. You can't park at 'the hole' anymore but there is parking within 2 or 3 minutes.
I then head down toward the ocean till I come to the first bridge, fishing all the way. Lots of interesting fishing.

Excellent rockfish counts with the Island Tak doing good on the WBS.
LA Area- Catalina Island
Lots of overnight boats doing good on the WSB and YT. Calicos and barracuda doing from fantastic to so so.

San Diego- Coronados
Multi-day boats are getting the albies and the local boats are still hitting about 5 or 6 fish per rod average with some boats limiting on the bass.
LA Local
The loads were really light today and the Calicos and Sandies put out a bite that went from limits of 300 fish to 3 or 4 fish a rod.

Report for July 5, 2003 (Saturday)
Way Up North- Avila
Boats are doing good on rock cod and so so on salmon
Up North- Channel Islands
Rock cod is doing great as you would expect. Few WSB.
LA Area Catalina Island
Counts on YT and WSB is not that high but Calico bass fishing is holding up.

San Clemente fishing is good for yellows and other fishies it's just I don't get many reports. Dreamer, Legacy and Phantom did good on the WSB and a few yellows.
San Diego- Coronados
1 day trips weren't doing so hot but multi's were working the albies. Local fishing is holding at 3 to 4 fish per rod.
LA Local

Way Up North- Avila
Good Salmon and Rockfishing for all
Up North- Channel Islands
Rockfishing doing good, few WSB but 200 barracuda count!!!
LA Area- Catalina Island
Dreamer, Legacy and Phantom did well. Calico bass still good for those that make the effort. YT sparce for the sporties!!
Further South
Fishing is good! I just don't know who and how many.
San Diego- Coronado and Local
Albies on multi-day trips good! Average fish per rod on local trips vary with the top being 10 fish per rod with a mixed bag.
LA Local
Average fish per rod was not that great varying from 1 to 4 or 5 excepting the landings down Dana's Wharf and Newport beach which did much better. I'd say the bass bite was down south today.

Report on July 8, 2003 (Tuesday)
Way Up North-Avila
A couple of salmon boats did OK along with rock cod counts.
Up North- Channel Islands
Passengers got fair results on a really mixed bag of rockfish and the usual suspects.
LA Area
The word is BASS. It looks like the Sand Bass run is on although the calico fishing is also really good. Good numbers on most boats on both species of bass. LIMITS LIMITS LIMITSS especially twilight!!
Further South- San Clemente
Good Calico and YT fishing
San Diego- Coronados
Lots of good fishing from Sand Bass to Albacore.
LA Local
Well it busted wide open today with a ton of boats getting limits. It didn't seem like which boat it was as long as it was south of Rocky Point.
I wonder how this will effect the 3/4's that have been going to Catalina consistantly. I hope they let the 1/2 day guys do the meat fishing.
Going out and will report on the Catalina trip that's being scheduled tomorrow.
