The variety continues! We've had really good mixed rockfish biting in the deeper waters both on the 14 Mile Bank and along the beach below San Onofre!

In the 1/2 day zone closer to home we've had some real crowd pleaser size sheephead and a few sand bass and calico bass.

Some swell and current has the inside areas a little mixed up currently but as fast as things get wonky they can bounce right back into shape!

Watch our daily fish counts to see what's biting and don't forget you can load our Dana Wharf app on your device and have all the info in one spot!

The kept a good eye on things on their way to Catalina Island today. They found a nice kelp in their travels on the way over and were rewarded with some June 1st yellowtail! Great work and we hope to see more of this as we roll through the next few weeks!

Catching a few barracuda here is a great indicator that things are moving towards summer time. They're not all legal fish but we've had a few keepers in the mix along the coast. Surface jigs like 45 or a live sardine have been catching fish.

We fished some mixed up conditions this week but the calico bass fishing remains strong!

Surface action was definitely there and even the surface iron got bit and had its time and place.

Stop by our tackle shop before your trip and grab a few to add to your arsenal!

๐Ÿ‘€Peep the pic for the color that's been getting bites!
