The Indian has been hitting Catalina. 217 YT on Sunday.
There has been some boats working PV off Flat Rock and Rocky Point. These boats are outside about 1/4 mile from the kelp line. The 1/2 day boat Redondo Special and some other boats are out there but the YT counts are minimal. Check it out. DR

Oh they have? Well no wonder then.

I did hop on the Special a week ago for a shot at yellows. Yes, they are some little firecrackers. Should've been thrown back those little things. Although, once in a while someone does catch a nice 20lb+ model.

Fish Samba (Bubble Hole) on friday 5:30 to sunset. No steam coming from the power plant but the bubble was flowing hard.
Typical LC, Kastmaster, 3" blue/white iron then the Kroc for a 13" C&R Calico.
Fishdope was reporting Bonito and YT, for a couple days ?

Check out this guys RB short pier pics :Shocked: I think Jackpot Jimmy got in on the 2011 Halibut run when he reported legal Hali's caught off the Tradition while in the slip. Also there is a pic of the 29 pound Sheephead that was caught off the short pier.

Cool link DR. The stripper, I mean Striper, was caught from the beach if I remember correctly. The guy bought some bait from the pier so he went back to get a pic taken to show his catch.

As for the giant Sheephead, I almost want to call BS on that, but KH is very deep for a harbor so it's not that unusual if they're around.

[DockRat]

That Sheephead was caught by the old RB Sportfishing owners son. I remember the Swordfish story. I was a paper boy around 1972 and it was a big story for about a week, just sitting under the dock at the marina for a week. The next pic under the Goat is a good shot of the bubble hole.

Fresh KH Broomtail video.

Well, they never left, but we haven't seen the biggest one in a while. This is it! About 6' long and a few hundred pounds. For size reference, note the Kelp Bass that swim in front of it. This one and 2 of its friends were using us and our bubbles as a barrier to ambush schools of Jack Mackerel (Trachurus symmetricus) - quite successfully.
