Marshall Bode nailed three bigeye, and Kastorff caught the biggest bigeye, a 119-pounder. They were fishing 100 miles south of San Diego, Kastorff said. Fishing is slow, but picking up. A 650-pound marlin was caught last week, and there also were reports of sailfish, tuna and wahoo taken. Sailfish improving, with a good tuna bite.
Dorado fishing is decent, with lots of roosterfish, pompano and jacks inside.
Bob Marriott's fly-fishing group caught and released three sailfish and caught limits of dorado and bonito, according to John Ireland of Rancho Leonero Resort. Anglers reported excellent fishing. Fishermen are averaging 15 to 25 bass per day. It's also a day when most states, California included, waive the requirement for a fishing license. Lake permits still may be necessary, so check before fishing.
