Summer is on our doorstep, and the fishing is picking up just in time at Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching.
In his weekly report, Captain Brian Woolley said there have been good improvements and good calico bass fishing on the half-day trips. Woolley said the water temperature hit the magic mark that paired with a good current made for good fishing around the kelp.
There are also good signs for fishing ahead as Woolley said yellowtail are being seen under the kelps three to five miles out. They haven’t got too many bites locally with the fish moving around, but that will change.
The Fury did get some good yellowtail on its trip out to San Clemente Island. Over 50 were caught in a range of 12 to 25 pounds.
