WHERE TO FISH

Fishing the past week has been GOOD
bad and Indifferent. with the indiner-
ent kind predominating.
Despite all the signs which pointed
to a good sport fishermen met only
with disappointment during the great
er part Of the week. Unexpected 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 halibut also
were caught. Outside trolling was
good on two days and Wednesday q
monster Jewish was caught. IL Ilppeo
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.
Bay City, Sunset and Huntington
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,
lack smelt and perch came away with
good creels.
San Pedro reported the best fishing
of the week. In the channel halibut,
bass and yellowtail were taken on sew
4 in X.
water sculpin, striped bass. rock bass,
calico bass and sheephead were plenv
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 and
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.
Tide will start from sea level at
1910 a. m. Sunday and rise to 3.9 feet
at 1908 a. m. Tide will be low again
at 11:41 a. m. with drop to 2.5 feet,
and will reach a height of Sc feet
at 5:56 p. m.
Under these conditions and hours

morning and late afternoon with the
first car and shutdown fishermen hav-
