Dorado came in droves, and warm water continued to bring strong bass fishing this week at Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching.
In his weekly report, Captain Brian Woolley said it was a great week with opportunities just off the beach and on the coast. The remaining kelp beds not hit by the sustained warm water provided good groupings of calico bass.
The missing kelp wasn’t all bad as it opened up some isolated rocks and hard bottom areas. Anglers dropped in sinker lures in these areas to pick up sand bass, sheephead and halibut.
Offshore is where the dorado came into play. Woolley said a good warm bubble of water helped with the dorado. San Mateo had a midweek haul of 25 dorado, the Boardroom pulled in 18 dorado and dorado showed up in the counts nearly every day.
