WHERE TO FISH

~ ALT water fishing is fast getting
into its regular swing and with
~ warm weather and lack of storms
at sea the gamey inhabitants or the
Pacific are coming in shore and renew
ing acquaintance with the ways ana
habits of the anglers.
The season is right at its height for
small fry, such as pompano, smelt'
Jack smelt, herring, mackerel, turbot,
sole, kingfish. tomcod and perch, ana
at all the beach resorts they have
been more than plentiful for the past
three weeks.
The big game fish of the ocean are
appearing in numbers and at Avalon
for the first time in three years the
leaping tuna has made his appearance
and has smashed more fine tackle in
the three days since his arrival than
has been broken in all the three years
of his absence.
Yellowtail, white sea bass and abb
core are also plentiful at the magic
isle and the increasing number of fish
ermen making their fay toward the
Catalina boats each day testify to the
drawing powers of the sport.
Sea trout came to the west coast
Wednesday in great numbers and at
Playa del Rey, ocean Park and Venice
there was great sport during the week
catching this splendid fish.
Pompano herring, yelowfin, small
surf, mackerel and yellowtail were
also caught freely along the west coast
Fand at Long wharf especially was the
run of pompano heavy.
Long Beach improved wonderfully
last week and yellowfn. corbina, POM
pano. mackerel, herring and perch re-
Warded all who cared to wet line at
this delightful resort. Pompano were
caught i'm great numbers from boats
half mile from the shore several days
during the week.
At Oceanside and Mateo in San Diego
| county there were great catches of
corbina by Los Angeles fishermen who
| spent several days down there The
| fish ran of good size, ranging from two
| to four pounds in weight. For the
| benefit of fishermen who wish to go
there the Santa Fe has made special
| concessions.
The south coast from Bay city to
Balboa has been the mecca of the surf
fishermen for the past week. At all
points the gamey coroina has been
running in large sizes and numbers and
| not a disappointing day has been re-
] ported from any of the resorts. Bal
boa led with the largest fish and holds
the record for a catch of an eight
FOUNDER. The catch was made on
Thursday and the fish weighed in two

YelloWfin, bass and spot fin croaker

catches of sheephead are being made
at Rocky Point.
