Fishing White Seabass & Yellowtail
Fishing the Channel Islands is definitely starting to heat up as boats are bringing in Yellowtail and White Seabass with regularity. Fishing the Arch at Anacapa Island has been the hot spot for most but a new spot of fish has popped up on the west end of Santa Cruz Island. Mixed grade of fish but most of them are 25 pounds with larger models pushing 35 pounds. Catching these fish on whole frozen squid or if the boat is lucky enough to come across, live squid is working even better. These fish are also biting jigs being bounced just off the bottom. Specifically, YoYo jigs like a Salas 6x or Tady 4/0 in Scrambled Egg color.
Blessed with good weather for the majority of the week, all of our trips were able to get off the dock and catch fish. Whether it be going for the big game or simply loading up on tasty Rockfish and Lingcod. This week was good to us and we look forward to more just like it in the near future.
