Mitch at Patriot Sports Fishing reports rock fishing had been excellent until Tuesday when the earthquake near San Simeon turned off the bite. Rock Cod trips daily with Thursday's long-range trips the toppers. Port Side Marine Sports Launch at Avila Beach reported not many boats launched, but those that go are getting a few halibut, even fewer salmon and good numbers of rock cod. Lower Owens River and the wild trout section are rated good to very good. 12-18 if presented properly.
Snakes are out.
Fishing ice cracks from shore can be rewarding at South Lake. 3 Bob at the Marina said anglers are reporting success trolling for white bass. Two caught 25 and kept 15 Tuesday using an small orange, brown and silver Rapala. White Roostertails also are a winner. Few boils in the early morning and late evening.
