Weekly Fish Report

½ Day - ¾ Day: Rockfish, sculpin and calico bass are the main catch on the ½-day boats with an occasional home-guard yellowtail being caught. ¾ day trips to the Coronado Islands are still putting up good numbers on the yellows, as well as lingcod, rockfish and bonito. Sand Bass, halibut and calicos are starting to show as the water temp holds in the low 60s.

1 Day to 2.5 Day: It’s been really good for yellowtail off the beach in the YoYo mode in 160 feet of water or so, with most anglers catching limits. Rockfish and lingcod are coming in good numbers and with size. Some nice halibut are being caught in 60’ of water in the Colonet area. Bonito and barracuda are abundant off the kelp edges in 100’ of water from Ensenada south.

Long-Range - Baja: Though the water has cooled a bit at Alijos Rocks, the wahoo are still on the chew there. Down at the Hurricane Bank the big yellowfin tuna are biting well in the morning and then pretty much shutting down after noon.

Freshwater: As trout season winds down in the lower elevations there are still some monster trout coming from the lakes that hold them. Bass are up and active county-wide with the exception of Cuyamaca. Some large blue catfish have been landed this past week, including a new lake record for Lake Hodges at 36.6 pounds.

Whale Report: Operators are finding many gray whales going north and still a few heading south. Humpback whales, pilot whales, bottlenose dolphin and many common dolphin also have been spotted this month.

Trout Plants: 03/18/15 Cuyamaca (1200), Poway (1500), 03/25/15 Dixon (3000), Wohlford (1500)

Lobster season closes March 18, so hopefully y'all got all the bugs you wanted this year until the fall, when it opens again.
