½ Day - ¾ Day: The good local fishing continues on with no real change in sight. ½ day boats are getting the usual mix of rockfish, sculpin and calico bass. There are still yellows around deep off the canyon, but they have been a bit picky as of late. The Coronado Islands are still producing good yellowtail, with a few boats getting limits. The hoop-netters are still getting lots of spiny lobster, but the legal to short ratio is dropping.
1 Day to 2.5 Day: Boats fishing off Ensenada to San Martin are getting steady action on yellowtail, rockfish and lingcod. Boats out of Ensenada, Colonet and San Quintin are all doing well with lots of clients heading south for a panga ride for lingcod and yellowtail. There are still some reports of bluefin tuna out at Cortez Bank along with yellowtail and rockfish.
Long-Range - Baja: The 10 to 15 day boats are enjoying a successful winter season at the Hurricane Bank with lots of yellowfin tuna to well over 200 pounds. For the 5- to 8-day range, wahoo south off Mag Bay are providing nonstop action and the yellowtail and white seabass at Cedros are adding to the variety.
Freshwater: The San Diego County Water Authority is conducting scheduled repairs and maintenance on the county's water pipeline infrastructure, so many of the local reservoirs have no water supply. The Water Authority plans to get the majority of the needed water directly from San Vicente to avoid taking it out of the other lakes, but several lakes are expected to drop. This will certainly affect access for boats and the fishing.
Whale Report: All the whale-watch operations are reporting multiple sightings of Gray Whales and Dolphin as this epic season continues.
Trout Plants: 02/25/15 Dixon (1500), Wohlford (1500) 03/04/15 Poway (1800, Includes trophy trout)
