The White seabass and halibut and some yellowtail have gone gang busters. All of the boats out of channel islands had full limits for the boats and crew along with some really nice halibut, the Seabiscuit had one that went 35lbs and there are some yellowtail mixed in with the fish. It is time to get out and go fishing.

Today was amazing! Many of the boats got limits of White Seabass! (Some boats didn't target them)

The Seabass fishing this season has been outstanding! The limit for these changes from 1 to 3 on June 16.

Erna B - White Seabass

the fishing if off the hook. The big and small yellowtail have shown up in abundance along with some really big white seabass and a lot of big lings and reds to go with it. Now is the time to get out while the water is warm and catch some really nice fish. We have not seen fishing like this since the last el nino in the late 90's, and it will only get better, expect the calico bass and other fish to break loose soon.

The Yellowtail are still around but it looks like the White Seabass bite slowed way down. The halibut are starting to bite more too!
