Every wharf has a rat
Happenings on and off the water
Daiwa bass rods, similar to those stolen from the Chubasco II
The week held nice weather and decent seas for the most part, and the anglers showed up to fish. The landings sent out the largest number of boats and anglers aboard so far this year. Yellowtail continue to bite off the Coronado Islands and down the line in northern Baja, while rockfish, sculpin and bass, both calico and sand, are the main targets closer to home. The half-day boats found a few local yellows willing to bite, as did some private boaters and kayak anglers off La Jolla. Some nice-sized lingcod are being reported in the rockfish mix off the Coronados for the ¾-day boats, while the 1.5-day and longer trips scored on a good rockfish bite along with those yellows and some chunky whitefish on the high spots off the Baja coast. There is a decent sign of white seabass at Catalina Island, though few have been caught locally. I expect to see some in the local reports within a month or so.
Wharf-Rat News
Apparently, someone (or two or three) broke into the Chubasco II’s dock locker in Quivera Basin, Mission Bay, and made off with a grip of rental rods and reels. From their notice on Bloody Decks: “Please keep an eye out for anyone selling a large quantity of used Daiwa rods or Daiwa Seagates at local swap meets, garage sales, and online.” Anyone with info can contact Chubasco II at: 619-599-8290.
