All new Fishdope website and charts this morning. Take a look at all the new charts. Hot bites have not been updated as of this time.
We are still working on fixing bugs and converting over the forums. The forums will be down for a few days as we have contracted that part out.
Thank you for being patient.

Catalina Island
Lot’s of Squid have appeared at the Isthmus. Several light boats were on it last night and everybody had a big full float going.
Action at the Island was very slow today. large drop in water temps and the water has turned green.
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!
San Clemente Island
No Change……..Yellowtail along the front from Purse Seine Rock up to Gold Bluff
These Yellows are roaming along the island out away from the spots Try trolling a mini Mack or an Xrap out in 100 to 150 feet up and down the island.
Inside of the cove some Yellowtail have reappeared on the Squid Bed and biting on the Squid in the morning. This bite is said to be over by around 9am

LA Harbor
Squid is on Izors. The moon is backing off and making it easier to catch. Sand bass are living on the Squid bed and they are biting mostly at night and on Live or fresh dead squid.
Over on the Horseshoe the action is really slow. Best daytime action is for Rockfish and sculpin at the 150 and other 250 ft rockfish spots.
- 33.39.03 x 118.06.08 Izors Reef
- 33.35.62 x 118.09.75 150 Spot

- 33.35.79 x 118.16.27 Peterson’s Pinnacle
Newport Beach to Oceanside
Water is very slowly warming back up. 63-64 just below Dana this morning.
Best bet through out this entire section of coast is Rockfish.
Action along the kelp line is really slow with just a few short Calico Bass biting.
Still a lack of current too. We need some to push this ugly water out.
Santa Ana River Pipe
33.36.87 x 117.58.36 Bend in Pipe
33.36.64 x 117.58.43 New Pipe

33.17.29 x 117.34.15 Box Rockfish – General area
Oceanside
32.57.191 x 117.17.981 Rockcod Area Outside Del Mar
Got a report from Capt. Brian Woolley on the Sum Fun:
We fished Box Canyon today with Anchovy and Live Squid. Conditions allowed us to anchor up and use just 8oz sinkers.
Water temp was 63 degrees.
The pic are from todays trip
Crystal Pier
Squid continues to show nightly. Some Yellowtail are living on the Squid bed and a few bite really early in the morning. Every thing is over by 7am. After that its dead.
32.47.58 x 117.16.58· Pacific Beach Artificial Reef – Crystal Pier
Coronado Islands
Today warm water moved back over the islands and the Yellowtail are responding.
Fresh report from Capt. Steve as of 3pm, 20+ Yellowtail on deck and fish hanging as we speak. GREAT FISHING for the Mission Belle today and they have barely gotten started. They finished up yesterdays trip with 25 Yellowtail from 15-30lbs.
OFFSHORE
Calm seas and better numbers of Bluefin are showing now.
US waters are not seeing any rain yet but down south in Mexico there is considerable amount falling.
Here are the results of the Make a Wish Tournament
US Waters
267 / 209 / 312 / 181-182 Ridge
Mostly quiet. 95% of kelps are not holding any Yellowtail or Dorado.
However everyday somebody finds one with fish on it. The water is warm and clean enough. We just need some fish to push up into the area.
temps on the 209 was/is 68.8 at 10am this morning.
MEXICO
Lots of Rain from Ensenada, south.
The 238/295, 1140 Finger, Lower 500, Catchers mitt, and below the D220 are all seeing moderate to heavy rain.
425 /371/ 390
The cold water that was to the east of the 425 has moved west and now covers the high spot.
There is a warm band of water running to the South West down across the 390.
This lower end around the 390 and the 450 has some kelps with micro Dorado and a few bigger ones.
32.13 x 117.34 Rat Yellows
32.04 x 117.48 Dorado kelp
31.56 x 117.49 kelp
213 down through the 1010 Trench and the 1067 Knuckle
Scattered kelps with Yellowtail and Dorado. Small signal of Bluefin on a few of these kelps. The further south you go the better for a shot at Bluefin.
31.41 x 117.42 kelp
31.34 x 117.51 kelp
31.32 x 117.48 sonar mark on Bluefin
Hidden Bank /Upper 500
Still stuck in a buble of cold water. The temps are rising though. they are up to 65 now on the upper 500.
Not much of anything happening in these areas.
295 / 238
The temp break is a few miles below these to high spots and along it are kelps with Yellowtail and Dorado.
Some are on the cold side and have Yellowtail. On the warm side the kelps have some Dorado and even a Bluefin or 2
This break is quickly weaking and begining to work north
31.33 x 117.27 Kelp
Double 220 and Below
Much improved Bluefin fishing!
Look at a box centered at 31.23 x 117.43.
It is hit and miss but some boats made good score on 30 to 50lb Bluefin.
31.24 x 117.39 Bluefin
31.13 x 117.43 Bluefin
31.21 x 117.49 Bluefin
West of Colonet
Below the lower 500 you cross a strip of COLD 62 degree water. This band is now breaking down quickly
After you pass through it you come back into clean 68 to 69 degree water.
Lots of Yellowtail along with some Dorado and Bluefin are stacked up along this edge.
They are also spread out a bit more to the south.
Some 40lb class Bluefin have been caught over the past few days
As you travel even farther south the numbers of Bluefin increase
Brian from the Reel E’ze reported in after the MAW.
They had the top score for the tourney.
We ended up with nine bft for the day. Fished between Colonet and San Martin.
30.25 x 116.43 and 30.34 x 116.48 were the two best stops.
3 on the troll and 6 on bait. Water was 67.8
All reports, good, bad, or otherwise are very helpful.·
If you go fishing please give us a call or shoot us an email.

Yellowtail are at the can Dump, Hen Rock and Red Bluff. Live Squid is the ticket. Without the Squid your not going to get a Yellowtail.
Calico Bass are biting pretty good. Plastics with a strip of fresh dead is working great
No word from Darrell Wilson. He had planned to be here or on Izors this morning. Call him to find out where to meet up with him for Squid.
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!

Squid is on Izors. The moon is backing off and making it easier to catch. Sand bass are living on the Squid bed and they are biting mostly at night and on Live or fresh dead squid.

Newport Beach to Oceanside
The calender says it August. The conditions and catch says it’s January.
Cold and dirty water continues to be a major problem. It dropped down to 57 on Thursday and is slowly warming back up. Lack of current is a problem too. Need some to push all this ugly water out.
Main catch right now continues to be Rockfish.

The conditions are aweful. 58.6 water in the Middle Grounds.
Not much is happening except for Rockfish.
There was at least 1 nice Yellowtail caught yesterday. Check out this one that was caught by a fishdope member.
Report from Jason on the shank:
Despite high hopes the Shank had a reality check and settled for a mixed bag of Rockfish and Sheephead.
Slow drift from the North end of North Island down through the Middle Grounds. Worked at a depth of 130 feet with strips of Sardines on a carolina rig w/3oz of weight.
Steady bite for 3 hours.
Bottom line, Good weather and good eats.
Ride back was nice.

At 32.13 x 117.25 there is a bubble of 69.9 water.
390
Yellowtail and numerous reports of jumping Dorado are in this area and is spread towards the 213.
The Dorado are keyed up on tiny 1 inch saurie’s. When this happens try and drop down to the lightest line you have (12 to 15lb) and fish a pinhead anchovy on a number 4 or 6 hook. NO SINKER.
Report from John on the Tuna Asalt:
Fished the Make a wish tournament with my my friend Steve and Dick on my Riviera 370.
Started at the 390 bank and got a hard jig strike on a brown and white zucher, it kept taking out 125# line on a Penn 50 and I could only think we had the tournament in the bag.
My angler even asks me to back down to help him get some line back. As we harness him and he cranks up in low speed, the fish comes out of the water, we realize that its not a big bluefin but a 100 pound+ marlin that bit on a small tuna feather in 66 degree water so it was very unexpected.
It put on a great show after that “grey-hounding” out of the water which made our whole day. It then came off when we got it to leader.
Made it out as far as the Mushroom bank and only found dry kelp but continued trolling till 4pm for bluefin.
Got a taste for fresh ceviche so we stopped north of the 213 for a couple of yellowtail 52nm from San Diego.
Nothing worth weighing in. Only heard a couple reports of multiple bluefin at the lower 500.
Double 220
At least 1 Bluefin was caught in this area. It was hooked on the Albie Nut, on the troll right on top of the D220.
Not much of anything else found however
31.35 x 117.38 Single jig stop for a 22lb Bluefin
Outside of the Banda Bank down to the Lower 500
Good warm water band running north to south with kelps hold mostly Yellowtail but some have Dorado too.
Possible shot at a Bluefin too as the conditions are right with 67.5 to 68.5 water
31.30 x 116.59 Kelp
31.32 x 116.53 kelp
31.20 x 117.01 good kelp
West of Colonet
Below the lower 500 you cross a strip of COLD 62 degree water. This band is about 10 miles wide.
After you pass through it you come back into clean 68 to 69 degree water.
This break is REALLY strong. It jumps up from 62 to 68 in about 500 yards in spots.
Lots of Yellowtail along with some Dorado and Bluefin are stacked up along this edge.
They are also spread out a bit more to the south.
A few 40lb class Bluefin have been caught this morning
31.04 x 116.41 Inside edge of the break
30.57 x 116.51 Edge of the Break
30.56 x 116.48 Hot Kelp. Lots of Yellowtail and some 40+lb class Bluefin
155 to 180 miles
Conditions way down the line are not nice either. Some Bluefin and Yellowfin but the bite is slow.
The guys are working between 30.03 x 116.37 and down to 29.43 x 116.39
