Finally got back out on the water this year with Jonathan and friends. Been a busy year for me, got some freshwater fishing in as well, but very little saltwater. Set up a twilight on the Spectra which is now running out of 22nd Street Landing in San Pedro. My friends Chris and Noreen came back out again with us along with Kyle who went out last summer on a twilight with us. He brought along two friend, it was the first time out on the water for both of them. Captain Chris and Ted were the crew for the night and we stopped at the San Pedro bait barge and picked up some anchovies and some squid. It was a beautiful night, warm water and no wind perfect night for hunting sand bass.

Got to our spot on Izors Reef and started to work away at the bass. It was slow fishing but steady at times. We decided to wait out the spot as other twilight boats came and went. We ended up with 30 bass on board, Jonathan caught one small sculpin as well. Beautiful night on the water, with no wind and nice and flat. Everyone had a great time, and the new guys got their first salt water fish, both sand bass. Captain Chris and Ted did a great job as always on the Spectra and we hope to get back out here in September on a full day or 3/4 day trip!

Island Yellows – Anglers aboard Spectra enjoyed an excellent yellowtail bite at Catalina Island over the weekend.

“We had a company charter to Catalina Island over the weekend and boy, were they in for a surprise.”

“Trying not to sound like a broken record, but we all know this season has been full of surprises, some more disappointing than others. One day it’s on, and the very next day it’s off like nothing even happened. Let’s not all forget that although catching is fun, it’s the fishing that drives the best hunter out of all of us. I was well-reminded by a good friend recently,‘some people will never understand that sometimes, it’s not about the fish, it’s about the fishing.”

“On Saturday’s Catalina Island trip, six lucky anglers were able to participate in a rare excellent yellowtail bite. We caught eight yellowtail, three black sea bass (released), 25 calicos and various other fish as well.”

The biggest fish of the day was caught by chartermaster Charina A. Pastrana, landing a yellowtail that tipped the scales at 39 pounds – a personal best.

“Calico bass fishing was excellent as well. They bit the fin bait over the squid. It’s best just to bring both baits over to the islands.

“Whether you plan on fishing with us or another operation, Catalina Island is Southern California’s little escape. If you have not been there yet, look into it, because it can be a truly amazing experience.”

Working rigs aboard the Spectra included 30- or 40- mono with a dropper-loop sitting about 24 inches from the bottom weight. Six to 8 ounces of weight was working. Other rigs included a three-quarter-ounce sliding egg sinker, with an aki twist hook, size 7/0. The akis work well for squid fishing.
