Fishing for Calico Bass mixed with Barracuda and the occasional Yellowtail, has been the focus of almost all the boats here at Channel Islands Sportfishing.

Summer is here and the surface fishing is heating up! Yellowtail in the counts!

This past week was one of the best, if not the best, week of fishing yet this year for White Seabass Fishing. Both local island and outer island boats got into a wide open White Seabass bite catching limits or very close to limits.

The White Seabass fishing has escalated! And the White Seabass Limit went to 3 today, June 16, 2019.

This weeks Thanksgiving Day holiday brought a lot of new faces through our doors and on to the boats. Fisherman will always find time to fish when near the water, especially when visiting from out of town or state.

Fall fishing remains good for Channel Islands Sportfishing but this fishing season is quickly coming to an end with only two months left.

Yellowtail bite slowed down due to high winds across the Channel Islands.

This week we battled the big yellowtail again. Local island boats headed out each morning with the intent of bringing home a boat load of Yellowtail.

The Yellowtail bite continues as predicted into the month of October.

The Channel Islands bite for Yellowtail continues into September for the local boats. Outer Island rockfishing is consistent.

The surface bite is still going strong at the Channel Islands. We are still catching big numbers of Yellowtail fishing the local islands, Anacapa or Santa Cruz.

All kinds of fish to be caught now, but still the Yellowtail are stealing the show. Local island boats fishing both Anacapa and Santa Cruz Islands are catching mixed grade Yellowtail

Calico bass fishing this week was outstanding! Yellowtail still biting some. Weather was good.

Fishing the Channel Islands is still the most consistent location to fish in Southern California.

Surface fishing at the Channel Islands for Yellowtail and Calico Bass, has become a reliable bite as all the boats are gathering up and catching fish side by side.

Here we are in early October and the fish report is still as good as it was in July. A few windy days kept us off the water but finding the fish once we got back out there proved to be easier than expected.

This weeks report is all about condition change. A big wind storm cooled the waters.

  Fish Whoppers: 1) Nick Rothfus from Ventura caught a 35lb Yellowtail on a 3/4 day trip aboard the Gentleman. 2) Dave Holoubek from Oxnard...

At the local islands Anacapa and Santa Cruz, the Yellowtail are still out in force. All of our morning departures are catching some nice sized Yellows simply fly-lining live baits.

The month of August has come and gone and was by far our most productive and consistent month of the season for fishing California Yellowtail.

With a hot Yellowtail bite, along with the bass fishing, this summer's anglers continue to experience better than average fishing.

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.

The Yellowtail are still running hard and peaking the interest of our anglers but there is so much more going on. Calico Bass fishing is outstanding

A red hot Yellowtail bite continues here at the Channel Islands. For several weeks it has been a consistent that all the boats have been able to enjoy.

Another exciting week fishing the Channel Islands. The Yellowtail bite turned up a notch with almost all the boats getting in on the action.

This week the fishing continued to pick up as White Seabass and Yellowtail are in our daily counts with regularity.

This weeks fishing action picked up dramatically as predicted. A big reason for this would be two major factors. Great weather all week and live squid has become plentiful.

It was a tough week for the fisherman here at the Channel Islands. Not that fishing was poor but the weather was either too windy or it was raining.

I got on to the Island Tak on Monday night to go Yellowtail fishing.

The Channel Islands and surrounding areas continue to put out some great catches this week
