We are into yellowtail season, even if there aren’t too many boats fishing for them. The bite has been off and on and the winds have been up a bit, as is typical for winter. Most days you can get to San Pedro Island early in the morning and come back with the wind when it comes up. The bite hasn’t been ‘hot’, but some good catches are being found. The fish are up some days in the morning off of San Antonio and Doble. The fishing around the high tide, or just after the low tide, are usually the best. Yellowtail are a school fish, so sometimes you just need to find the bunch. A good fishfinder helps, and if the readings are deep and the fish aren’t biting the lures, you may have to jig.
We had some luck mid-week on the north-east end of the Island just off the north tip. There were a lot of small to medium-sized fish around, with some big ones mixed in. There are still some bonita in the area, with a few sierra in close. We weren’t able to find any cabrilla this last week, but they could still be around. The tides look a little better for possibly finding fish on the surface or higher in the water column this week. Get out there early, or on a calm day, put in the time, watch your fishfinder, and if all else fails, jig and just enjoy the fact that your friends up north don’t even have liquid water and the temperatures are still 50-100 degrees warmer here!
