Is mid-November when the Channel Islands surface bite shuts off?

This week at the Channel Islands we battled weather fronts coming through the area, bringing a lot of wind.

Good week of rockfishing in the Channel Islands. Rockfishing has picked up to full speed as both local and outer island boats are catching an abundance of quality Rockfish.

One week of regular trips left in the 2016 season, then we will officially be switching modes to "off-season".

This weeks fish report with current whoppers and information.

The endless summer fishing bite continues at the Channel Islands. Yellowtail, Bonito and Barracuda are the focus of most the boats. Everything is the same as it was last week with a strong bite at the local islands.

White Seabass, Yellowtail and Halibut are starting to show a little for the CISCOS fleet.

El Nino 2015 is in full swing as we start off red hot in this new month. September is usually a great fishing month here at the Northern Channel Islands, with reports of true exotics are coming in daily.
