WHERE TO FISH

Fishing the past week has been good,
bad and Indifferent, with the indiffer-
ent kind predominating.
Despite all the signs which pointed
to good sport fishermen met only
with disappointment during the great
er part of the week. Unex pected rough
weather along both coasts turned
what might have been otherwise good
days for the sportsmen into barren
time, and while many good catches
were made at several of the beach re-
sorts, nearly all OF the usually de-
pendable places were compelled to re-
port conditions poor.
The south coast, which the week
before reported fish plentiful, was
disappointing except at odd times, and
very few good catches were made.
Good bass and croaker fishing was
found in the bay at Balboa on two
mornings and a few big haiibut also
were caught. Outside trolling was
good on two days and Wednesday a
monster Jewish was caught. 1t tipped
the beam at close to 300 pounds. A
yellowtail some barracuda and any
number of albicore were taken.
Newport gave the best sport on the
south coast, halibut, yellowtail and
black bass being plentiful the early
part of the week.
were poor spots all week and but lit
tie was done by fishermen who went
there.
Alamitos and Long Beach reported
plenty of small fry and the fishermen
who were satisfied with herring. smelt,
jack smelt and perch came away with
good creels.
San Pedro reported the best fishing
of the week. In the channel halibut,
l. o,,H % W
eral days in numbers and at the break
water sculpin, striped bass, rock bass,
calico bass and sheephead were plen-
tiful part of the week.
Redondo came to the front on two
days with runs of cornfed mackerel
and jack smelt, and Manhattan was
visited by yellowfin, sea trout and
Spanish mackerel on wednesday ana
Friday.
Pompano, small yellowfin and corn
fed mackerel were caught freely at
Playa del Rey at sunup on two days
of the week. Catalina furnished the
poorest sport of the season.. but few
catches being made and the fish
brought in were of poor size and quail
ity.
