It's mostly the overnight boats that are getting all the seabass. they are getting them at grey-light, the early morning bite. the 3/4 day boats are pickin away at them. every once-in-awhile, they'll get into a wide open bite.

I was talking to aaron and he said that when he was working the victory, he saw a whole school of 25-30 yellows surrounding the boat just a bout 15 feet from it. nobody could hook them though! Rediculous!

Hi theangler,

The bite is just crazy at Catalina right now but the boats making the counts are the overnighters, sixpacs, and charterboats. Some boats 100+ WSB.

Two days on the 3/4 day Pierpoint back to back, it was close to a fish a cast for some of us all day long. Hungry Calicos everywhere, Barracuda charging every 20 minutes and Yellows breezing constantly. 3 yellows lost today alone!!!

Jigs, softbaits, and bait (anchovies and sardines) you name it they bit!!

Limit for White Sea Bass is now 3 fish per rod! Go tomorrow if you can.

Hey there DH tubinjoe,

The Victory and the Pierpoint often use the same bait receiver. I think we got our sardines yesterday because they were mixed in with the anchovies. I'd say out of 30-40 scoops there were about 3 or 4 scoops worth of sardines.

Truth is, some guys soaked a sardine for quite a while but just couldn't get the yellows or even barracuda to bite! ha ha

oh. they go to sammy, the old scruffy guy, for their bait then. the pursuit, the boat i work on, goes to bill's bait. they said that they are getting straight chovies. but thats what the fish are eating. so all is good.
