The great weather stuck around for another week as we prepare to turn toward summer, and that provided another week of great fishing at Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching.

In his weekly report, Captain Brian Woolley said the water held at 62-64 degrees and the bass action has continued to improve. The half-day trips hit all the spots for bass, and anglers saw their best catches on the fly-lined sardine, not on the artificial baits.

Anglers also got some nice catches of sheephead using exotic baits such as clam and shrimp.

The three-quarter-day trips fished deep off Camp Pendleton to grab some rockfish and others from the bottom. As the water warms up, Woolley said the three-quarter-day trips may soon start working toward the shore to get some bass into their catches.

For the overnight trips, the Fury saw a nice haul of yellowtail over at San Clemente Island. On Saturday, May 4, 24 yellowtail were brought in, ranging from 8 to 20 pounds. Woolley said that is a “great sign” for San Clemente Island.
