WHERE TO FISH

m HE warm days during the past
week brought salt water fishing
"A to it's best for this season, and
there is no complaint to be made either
on the quality or .-antity of the sport.
Sunday last however, for some un-
known reason was a bit Off and why
the fish didn't bite is one of those mys-
teries it is hard to explain. Weather
and water both were perfect, but the
catches were few and far between, and
the fish ran small. Monday, however,
showed decided improvement, and
conditions were good all during the
week with the exception of Thursday,
when a cold wind and a choppy sea
made it disagreable
A fivepound corbina was caught at
Huntington Beach Sunday and several
were brought in which ran as high as
three and a half pounds. Monday the
largest corbina caught this season at
Playa del Rey was taken off the beach
below the new pier. The fish tipped
the scales at six pounds eleven ounces
and with the exception of the eight
pound surf taken at Balboa two weeks
ago is the largest caught this season
at any resort.
Good at Catalina
Catalina fishing could not be i'm
proved upon, and all kinds of game
fish are being taken at this magic re-
sort. Yellowtail, sea bass, white bass
and rock bass, barracuda, albicore and
whitehsh have been plentiful. Not a
day has passed but twenty to fifty good
fish have rewarded those who have
gone out for them.
The south coast resorts continue to
lead in results, and splendid catches
have been made at Balboa, Huntington
Beach, Newport, Sunset and Bay City.
Spot fin croaker have been running at
Balboa and in size have not been ex-
celled at any point where they are to
be found. Bass are plentiful at Rocky
Point and corbina are running in num-
bers and size on the ocean front. Hunt
ington Beach and Sunset showed up
splendidly, big catches of corbina be-
ing made there on all but two days out
of the week. Bay City was another re-
sort where the game and toothsome
corbina was taken in quantity and at
Newport mackerel, bass and sculpin
We're found each day
Halibut, mackerel, sardines, tomcod,
turbot, sculpin and grouper are plenti-
full at Redondo and surf perch and
striped bass are to be had at Clifton.
Manhattan, which has shown but little
this season, came to the front last
>
smelt, herring and croaker, At Playa
del Rey that game and beautiful fish,
the sea trout, appeared and was taken
in numbers during the week. Sea trout
were also caught at Long Beach during
the week.
Trout fishing has been ordinary, but
all resorts report the limit taken al
most every day by some angler.
Tide will be high Sunday at 1905
p. m.. rising to 81 feet from S of a
foot at 5 o'clock a. m. 1t will be low
at 4:04 p. M, with a drop to 2.6 feet
This will make a gentle current in the
bays and channels, and with favorable
weather should make good fishing all
day.
