WHERE TO FISH

Old reliable San Pedro repeated last
week as the star resort for fishermen.
The channel and bay produced great
catches all week long and spotfins and
Chinas came to creel in punches. There
was also great run of calico and
striped bass, the latter gamey fish go
ing in many instances as high as eight
and ten pounds.
Not to be left in the lurch. the break
water reminded all the rod and reel
devotees that there were sheephead
sculpin and rock bass in the deep wa
ter, and the fishermen who tried their
luck along the big government pier
were more than repaid for the walk
from the end of the car line
The spotfin has evidently returned to
his first love, and the San Pedro chan
mel is running over with three to seven
pound fish that bite voraciously and
pull like a shark. The China choaker
in two-pound size made life worth liv-
ing for everybody who tried his luck
from the cannery and Southern Pacific
lumber piers and from boats up near
the suction dredger
Striped bass planted within the past
two years are beginning to show in
numbers and size, and they put up a
magnificent fight; and if one gets only
a lone fish he is we'll repaid for the
trip. Weather conditions right. San
Pedro promises to continue in the lead
of all coast resorts.
Redondo continued good all the week
for cornfed mackerel and jacksmelt.
and on two days yellowtail made their
appearance and gave great sport. An
unusual shore run of sardines brought
schools of bonita and skipjacks inside
and kept things lively on all three
wharves for a day or two.
On the south coast Huntington
Beach. Balboa and Bay City led with
good catches of corbina and yellowfin.
and at Naples black bass were caught
In numbers.
Long wharf and Playa del Rey pro-
duced pompano in great numbers dur
ing the early morning hours, and the
run promises to continue with warm
weather.
Tide will be high Sunday morning at
s: 3S o'clock. with a rise of As feet, and
low at 11:42 a. M, with drop of 81
