Thanks for the heads up with the error about “You reached the view
limit for this month”. The chart views are now fixed and shouldn’t be a problem again.
Welcome to the NEW Fishdope website!!
Be sure to check out all the new features like all the different charts and the Bite zone chart.
Should be interesting to see how this works out in regards to where the fish are biting.
We are still working out the bugs that happen when ever you open up a new website.
The forums are still down but the should be up within a few days
Thank you all for your patience during this process.
Catalina Island
Best shot for a Yellowtail is still spots like Red Bluff, Gilbralter, and Hen Rock.
Red Bluff is probably seeing the best bite right now on Yellows running from 6 to almost 20lbs.
Massive spot of Squid is at Lions head. 33.26 x 118.30
Darrell has full tanks of Squid and is anchored up in front of the Casino
Contact Darrell on the “Mary Claire” at 949-677-0607 or CH 11. If you mention “Fishdope” you’ll get $10 dollars off on each scoop of Squid!

Report from Brett
YT at Red Bluff at about 9:30am on live squid, nice down hill current. Wide open Calico Bass, still some more YT swimming around…
San Clemente Island
No new reports. Last piece of info was about a week ago.
Always make sure the Island is open before making the run.

LA Harbor
Squid is still coming up every night. Appears to be a very good volume of the stuff right now.
The Squid are at 33.38 x 118.11.
A small number of sand bass spots are in the general area, in and around Izors. Better bite for them is after dark. Not much happening during the day.
33.39.03 x 118.06.08 Izors Reef
Dana Point to South of Oceanside
Still only small numbers of Bass biting and most of those are shorts.
Water is looking much better and is warm
Best bet continues to be Rockfish. The Box canyon stones are working good.

La Jolla / Point Loma
Yellowtail have been showing at the Squid bed at Crystal pier and at the Southern end of the MPA. This is a morning bite and is over by 9am
Get your Squid and get on them quick because after that you stuck with Rockfish for the rest of the day.
Up the beach at Blacks beach a school of Yellowtail popped up in the afternoon but the didn’t want to bite anything.
32.47.58 x 117.16.58· Pacific Beach Artificial Reef – Crystal Pier
Coronado Islands
Still a few fish were found at the Middle Grounds and at the North end of South Island.
Water is warming back up and getting clean so the bite could rebound at any moment.
Slow Trolling is working best right now.

OFFSHORE
US Waters
Only game on the offshore water inside of San Clemente Island is for Marlin.
Kelps are barren or have bait on them but no Yellowtail or Dorado or Tuna.
Dolphin schools are not “talking”. They don’t appear to have any Yellowfin on them right now.
277
Marlin jumpers and at least 1 hooked.
They are on the ridge running from the 277 into the slide
289
Marlin are still on this highspot too and some jumper Dorado seen as well.
Jimmy Decker leadered another marlin close to the Highspot.
Nobody has been able to hook any of the Dorado however.
43 fathom spot
Spotter Plane Dope! Tuna have been located. 2 different schools.
Several others spots seen in schools of like 100+
32.36.08 x 118.03.90
32.39.10 x 118.07.90
Cortez Bank
Latest word says the Bluefin are no longer on the bank as a couple of boats saw no sign of them. Lot’s of 6 to 12lb bonito but no tuna.
Some Yellowtail in the shallow spots if you have live Squid but no big numbers.
Lots of big Whitefish and sheephead are biting, along with Salmon Groupers.
MEXICO
The SST shows most if not all the cold water breaks are gone now. There are breaks from 67.5 up to 68-69 degrees now. All that 62-64 degree water is gone.
Most of the inside has an uphill current running for the past few days.
Have to believe that some of that stuff around the Lower 500 up to the 238 is pushing uphill right now.
302 / 226
Couple kelps found at the 11 o’clock hour holding Dorado.Lots more seen than caught though.
This is great news! Finally some “local” fish to chase after.
This looks like the stuff that was around the 390 before the wind blew everything out.
Water temp 70.3 and clean blue
32.28 x 117.40 Dorado kelp
32.27 x 117.38 Dorado
32.25 x 117.40 Yellowtail and Dorado kelp
32.29 x 117.42 kelp holding Dorado
371
Report from RxTSea:
Went to the 371. Wind was blowing, water was rough. Found a couple of paddies, both were holding. Only problem you have one chance at the fish either you catch a fish with your first cast and hookup or nothing else is going to bite. Dorado jumping at the paddies but won’t bite our sardines.
South 9 through the 425 and SW to the 390
Good looking water on the SST. No reports of anything or anyone fishing it though. This weekend will see guys working though.
The bite dried up in this area about a week ago with almost nothing being found. It got so bad the 3/4 day fleet went back to fishing the Coronados instead.
The zone needs a new influx of fish.
475 Knuckle down to the Banda bank
Warm water band along this stretch of water. Could be holding kelps with Yellowtail and dorado.
We have no reports for this zone however. This is just an observation.
238 to the Banda Bank
Ensenada 6 pack boats are working this area and finding a few kelps with Doardo and Yellowtail. Not many Tuna but there are a few smaller grade Bluefin showing on kelps.
Not every kelp is holding however but the bite is improving.
31.30 x 117.01 kelp
31.32 x 117.03 Dorado kelp in 69.4 degree water
Below the D220 and 295 spots
Kelps are holding mostly Yellowtail but a few Dorado and smaller Bluefin are also being seen and caught.
31.20 x 117.37 Kelp
31.25 x 117.34 Kelp
31.23 x 117.25 kelp
31.17 x 117.30 kelp
31.19 x 117.39 kelp
483/500
Still the zone to look for a big Bluefin. Most are 40 to 50lbs but a number of 80 to 100lb fish were seen again this morning.
Be advised however the bite today is much slower than in past days and not every boat is finding them
The area has drifted slightly back to the SE from Yesterday.
A few kelp paddies in the area are turning out a few Yellowtail but the better kelp fishing is off to the east.
31.22 x 118.01 Bluefin
31.21 x 118.03
31.19 x 118.01
31.20 x 117.59
31.23 x 117.56 Yellowtail, Dorado and small Bluefin on a kelp.
East and Southeast of the Lower 500
Kelps are holding yellowtail, Dorado mostly.
Not many Tuna around but there is some.
A few guys have found Yellowfin and one found a couple of Bluefin on a kelp.
31.04 x 116.48 kelp
31.08 x 116.48 Double Yellowfin jig stop
31.01 x 116.44 kelp
All reports, good, bad, or otherwise are very helpful.·

Welcome to the NEW Fishdope website!!
Be sure to check out all the new features like all the different charts and the Bite zone chart.
Should be interesting to see how this works out in regards to where the fish are biting.
We are still working out the bugs that happen when ever you open up a new website.
The forums will be down, likely until the weekend and the Hot Bite Icons which has also been down should be back online sometime today.
Thank you all for your patience during this process.

Catalina Island
Massive spot of Squid is at the Isthmus. 33.38 x 118.11 had a daytime float this morning.
Now some Seabass have moved in on the Squid with a couple of “locals” scoring a few fish this morning at Grey light.
Best shot for a Yellowtail is still spots like Red Bluff, Gilbralter, and Hen Rock. Not a lot of volume but there are fish around. Live Squid is a MUST HAVE bait! Without it best bet would be Rockfish at the West End Humps.
Darrell has full tanks of Squid and is anchored up in front of the Casino
Contact Darrell on the “Mary Claire” at 949-677-0607 or CH 11. If you mention “Fishdope” you’ll get $10 dollars off on each scoop of Squid!

Still lots of kelps with Yellowtail and Dorado on them in the area but not much pressure on them today with the Big Bluefins showing just off to the west.
31.27 x 117.45 Quick limits of yellowtail this morning
31.30 x 117.37 Dorado and yellows on this kelp
483/500
This is the place to be if you want a BIG Bluefin.
Almost the entire fleet is in the area now and looking at 50 to to over 100lb Bluefin.
Most are 50 to 60lb fish but many are larger too.
Lot’s of lost fish due the size of the Tuna. Quite a few guys are getting spooled this morning!
BRING THE HEAVY GEAR!! These fish are not line shy. Use at the very least 40lb and 50lb is probably not a bad idea.
Take a look around 31.27 x 118.02. This is a 5 mile block and it extends down to the south a ways.

Got this report from Jerry on a 1.5 aboard the Chief:
we started at 31.27/118.02. The whole fleet was here (at least 12 boats). We actually went south a few miles when we ran into this school of 60 to 70 # BFT. We hooked about 20 fish and only landed 6. Lots of rent rodders on board. I went 1 for 3 (too many tangles). Here’s a pic of the one I got. 66.6 # at the landing.
