WHERE TO FISH


| Fishing conditions the past week wer'
vastly improved over that of the monti
previous and the weekday fisherman aionI
both the west and south coasts was wei
rewarded for his trip to his fayorite resort
| Jacksmelt, that delightful and gamel
| denizen OF the deep. appeared all along boti
coasts in great schools. and Spanish and
cornfed mackerel were also much In evil
dence. Yellow I'm and sea trout were more
plentiful than usual and the small fry, such
as herring, smelt, sardines, tomcod. perch
kingfsh and whitensh fairly overran the
wharfs and piers
Yeilowtaf, that monarch OF game hsh.
was a regular visitor at Redondo and near
by beaches, but It was from No. that most
OF the big fellows were caught during the
week and no less than 100 ranging in weight
from fifteen to twenty-five pounds were
taken.
Pompano, the delicious little poppy fish.
made Playa del Rey one OF the most popular
resorts during the week. and in addition
yellow fin, small corbina. mackerel and
jacksmeit were there by the hundreds.
Bass, striped bass. rock and calico bass
and small black sea bass, the second cousin
Of the monster Jewish, came into San Pedro
channel during the week and divided honors
with the spot fin and the China croaker,
They were caught plentifully up near the
big dredger, and out at the breakwater
sheephead and sculpin added to the sport.
Balboa, Newport, Huntington and Bay
City We're well patronized resorts during
the week and the visitors were rewarded in
princely fashion for the time and trouble
Outside albicore easily led in numbers
and size OF the fish taken. At Catalina and
San Clemente a few large fish were added
to the seasons record.
The storm Of the latter part Of the week
and the rain following disturbed fishing
conditions for day or two. but after the
quiet the sport was better than ever. ana
IL conditions hold fishing should be excellent
for fha next few daYR.
Tide will be high at s;54 a. m. Sunday,
rising to a height Of 6.5 feet. coming from
90 of a foot above sea level. II VIII be low
water at s:55 p. M. with a drop of 0.6 OF
foot and high again at 10:oS p. m. with
a rise to 6.1 feet. This makes very
equable tide and will cause good current
In the bays and channels. Fishing should
be best early in the morning to after the
turn and late IN the afternoon.
