Good morning Guys and Gals,

Well it finally looks like this season is getting going. A little bit of squid showed up last week and within a few days there was good catches along the coast and the island for yellowtail, seabass, calico bass and halibut. Sportboats from Newport and the LA Harbor area had scores of up to fifity yellowtail (10 lb average) yesterday at Catalina and the half day boat Monte Carlo had six yellows locally yesterday as well with great bass fishing to go with it.

As far as bait.......the San Pedro barge has plenty of live squid for this week, as well as anchovies and sardines. Newport just ran out of squid yesterday, but has plenty or cured sardines and anchovies. If all goes as planned, both barges will get fresh batches of squid for the weekend.

Both barges are open 24/7 for the season and can be reached at the following numbers.....or just come on by:

Newport 310-461-5370
San Pedro 310-365-2516

Good luck and good fishign to all!!
