Fishing down there Shawn Morgan of course he was in a park with some cows this morning weird guy that Shawn Morgan but one heck of a good fisherman you should give him a call and go fishing of course I’m kidding around he’s a great guy and a lot of fun to fish with

There’s also some yellow Fant outside of Cabo so that has been going along very very well s Canen some great yellowtail fishing on the yo-yo iron at times great big Lings being taken down there and we continue to see really good fishing on our regular basis Tony

Beltran with some nice Lings down there in that neck of the woods mulah I’m going back down the peninsula that’s down near Loro more or less and down there Nathan BB with a a good shot a nice big fat Yellow Tail man we are seeing a lot of yellows here this year

Of course down there this is normal up here around San ctin inata P colinette it’s been a little bit really not out totally out of the ordinary but we’re certainly seeing a better signal this year than we saw in 23 no question about that speaking of Puna colinet the sport

Boats that are running those colonet trips are starting to see more and more yellows down there catching them on the yo-yo iron mix with it some really good lingot and rock fishing going on so that has been good and down there in inata only 70 Mi below the Border we’ve seen

Some great fishing beautiful little six-pack yacht that I really like the little horse had the kids out yesterday around Toto Santos Island catching Rockfish and white fish and nice Bonita how can you beat that excuse me man it looks nasty over there and uh on board uh out of black

Pins sport fishing they’re there on punaa they had a Yellow Tail and of course they continue to catch Bonita and Rockfish and all of that stuff so really good stuff don’t forget it’s tax season and there’s nobody better to take care of your tax needs and relieve that

Burden from you then Tim Marquez at a best income tax give Tim a call right now and relieve all the stress because Tim will handle it for you beautifully Royal Polaris on a long range trip 22 day trip they’ve been having trouble getting any kind of a yellow fin tuna

Bite going on they were able to get the Skiffs in the water yesterday and that meant that they could catch a lot of the different Oddities and Reish on the big boat they focused in on yellow Fant tuna but they just couldn’t get it to buite

They had 160 lb yft beautiful fish no doubt about that but they said you know what let’s get out of here let’s go look in somewhere else so they’re going to make about a 48 hour run on the RP and see if they can’t find some fish in a

Slightly different area now I just want to cover that Yellow Tail situation man that camera is going to blow over gusting to 18 maybe right now um the yellowtail situation we’ve talked about it we’ve seen it down there at San con we’ve seen it there it that’s 140 Mi

Below the Border we’ve seen it now at colinette 120 Mi below the Border Louie PTO it’s for reals sport fishing Louis put us on this whole thing when it first started to get going amazing stuff he was down there at Santo Tomas Reef 85 miles below the Border black fin Yellow

Tail yesterday that was a great thing and of course we’ve seen Yellow Tail up there also in the La Hoya area so things are really starting to come together on this Yellow Tail situation now of course the weather is going to go to spit on us

Here for a while and that will put us backwards a little bit but I don’t think it’s going to shut this bite off I think it’s going to continue to progress and we’re going to continue to see some really good stuff we’ll continue to watch it for you as I’m starting to

Think I might get this report in Rain there rain over this way so far I’m in good shape keep my fingers crossed here for a little bit longer in the San Diego area you got to love the sandbass fishing that has been going on what a great wintertime bassbite we have had

The Mission Bell yesterday Scott buer on board there he said they were around four fish parod ended up with like 90 sandbass something like that fishing sardines fishing squid fishing the Plastics Scott said it was really great fishing on the mission Bel the premier with 100 sandbass yesterday how in the

Heck can you beat that kind of wintertime bass fishing as the ocean is creeping up on me let me know if there’s a rogue wave headed my way man oh man it is nasty out but it’s still great to be out here and great to be spending time

With with you all so some really good bass fishing and you know that extends up here into the LA Orange County area the Monte Carlo yesterday really great bass fishing Walt the captain said it was really just a special great day especially given the fact that we’re

Here in the dead of winter in Southern California as the birds are coming to attack right now don’t forget heating and air conditioning needs that’s our dear friend John Lopez efficient heating and air conditioning if you need help with either your heating or your air conditioning give John Lopez a call

Today really good bass fishing we are loving that now let’s talk about our halit situation and we must talk about the pride out of 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro California they constantly put in a huge effort and they never surprise us when they come up with some good fish

They only have one white seab bass on that trip but the signal the sign it just points toward a big white seab bash here this year they saw a lot of fish caught one on their halit fishing on board the pride they ended up with Excuse me and they had seven short uh

Seab bass also ended up with 11 halet and 21 shorts had 50 Calico bass released nothing wrong with that kind of a score and the pride now is in full swing they’re going to keep going and they’re going to pull some great catches out I will tell you that right now this

Local halit bite you got to look to the Native Sun and the great Derby that they have been running this year and all the people that I’ve talked to go out there and say man that crew puts out 100% they do such a great job and when you look at

The numbers on the native Suns so far here this year they’re incredible they have over 100 100 legal halib it so far this year it’s going to be another B of year we told you it was going to be because of all the Market squid that we

Saw last year and into this year inhabiting the banks and the islands and here on the coast that Market squid is a magnet that sucks in Predators like halit and white seabass that Seabass white I think Sean Roberts is acutely right on board the pride that’s going to

Be big this year but for right now crazy numbers on the halit for the Native Son they’ve got two fish over 30 lb they’ve got 18 fish over 20 lb and they’ll be back at it Wednesday through Sunday when this weather is supposed to mellow out

We’re going to go back to some Breezy days but not that bad and a lot of perfectly flat no wind kind of days on the horizon so that is really great stuff and you have got to love that hey let’s highlight a couple of private boers Steve Duncan and Jimmy smell

Haven’t seen Jimmy for many many years they were out had three halet nothing wrong with that Ray Johnson was out fishing the local areas for halib these numbers are incredible to me man it’s going to be a another huge year no question about it Tom troop private Boer

At the Coronado Islands with some beautiful Calico bass really great stuff I’ve got to tell you I am so impressed with how this season is starting out in the midst of an El Nino which means warmer water headed toward a linia probably in late spring or summer that

Linia colder water it just makes for an enigmatic mysterious future one that’s going to surprise us one that’s going to be really interesting and one that’s going to be fascinating I can’t wait to see how this year unravels all right let’s talk about this great white shark I

Didn’t get the guy’s name because I ended up getting a phone call and he ended up leaving he gets me up in the parking lot and he says man oh I said man yeah it’s a big surf out there today he goes yeah it was great however we

Were out right around here where I’m looking right near the jetty here he said we could clearly see this great white shark and at one point it was like beining toward us not in attack mode nothing like that but it was just kind of swimming at it I looked at the guy

Next to me the surfer told me and I said let’s let’s bail on this let’s get out of here so they rode the first wave they could back in but can you imagine being out in the water and having an 8-footer just kind of headed toward you now Chris

Low over there at Long Beach State University is the great white shart expert so if I say something that’s not correct Chris you can correct me for sure shark attacks are very very rare and all evidence seems to point to that great white sharks are not interested in

Eating human beings in fact I don’t think they like they like the way they even taste when they eat or they make an aggressive move or attack a human it’s usually because it’s an air they thought it was a sea line and normally when you have a death that occurs from an attack

It’s because the initial attack is so catastrophic that you bleed out or something like that happens but it’s usually in air and really infrequent I think worldwide shark fatalities are somewhere around eight or nine something like that so I mean they it’s just not very common at all however being the big

Chicken I am I would erase that guy to get out of the water myself because I don’t know there’s just something creepy about that no question about it but that took place here in serite he estimated it to be about an 8 footer normally when they’re 10 ft in length that’s when they

Turn and start eating animals 8f Footers are in here feeding on rays and halit and those types of species so man I’ll tell you pretty crazy stuff not uncommon at all great white sharks live amongst us they are among the Surfers and people that are out there on a regular basis

And you don’t see very many attacks but I thought I would bring that to you anyway all right let’s get into some great surf fishing of course it’s not going to happen today it is way too windy and nasty and rainy and it’s going to stay that way for another 24 hours at

Least but we have seen some really great Sur fishing going on up there in Malibu Ray Camaro had a big be nice corbina great job Ray Charlie husley 35 Plus bar perch all release really great job there Charlie down there around the Huntington Beach pier we’ve seen great bar perch

Fishing South of the Border around San Diego all the way up to County Line it’s been an incredibly good bar perch season so far here this year and hopefully that is going to continue we are loving that a lot and of course you saw Kobe Fox on

The lead in catching that halban in the surf and the dance he did pure joy after he landed that nice little flatty in I shouldn’t say little it was a nice fish definitely a great catch there no question about that once again your surf fishing headquarters right down the

Street here at the corner of Seal Beach Boulevard and Pacific Coast Highway and that is big fish bait and tackle where they’ve got all the bait you’ll need all the tackle you’ll need they’re starting a competition also a derby that will focus in the month of March on Bard

Perch and they’ll be giving away a free beautiful custom rod that is going to be something man it’s really gusting here now you’ve been watching the surf behind me it is nasty a little bit of sunshine at sunrise here in Sur side but really ominous Cloud starting to surround me I

Really should get the heck out of here but I’m not smart enough to do that all right so some really good surfacing going on also here in SoCal and lobster hoop netting you don’t want to be caught out in that at all but the good news is

That after you get this kind of a storm those Lobster love to crawl and they were crawling the last couple of nights anyway I’m telling you limits on the Triton for two trips in a row really good lobster fishing here on your promar ai.com Lobster hoop netting report it’s

Been a great lobster season for the guys from promar everybody using promar Nets and products it’s been fantastic locally and Catalina Island has been phenomenal really really great stuff going on there I got to mention Rich tber he has a guide service rich does a great job puts

You on fish WEA we had him fishing up there in the Channel Islands with big calicos and halet and now he switches over to Lake Casitas Russ comes down from Phoenix check that out man that’s some good bastard and I know Russ had a great time with Rich Tober that is all
