I fished from 8:30am until 11am for a skunk. I was trying for mackerel using cut pieces of anchovy with no luck. I did see smelt puddling along but didn’t land any.

I fished from 1pm to around 4:30 this afternoon. Had some luck with mackerel. Caught around 10 in that time using #6 sabiki.

I fished the Redondo pier on Saturday and caught a few mackerel but was hoping to catch a bonito. I haven’t seen any bonito caught all summer and was wondering if any of you have had any luck this summer? It’s seems awfully late for the bones not to have made an appearance?

I ended up catching two but otherwise I had great fishing on calico bass. I ended up with 13 calico and one sand bass. One calico was very close to...

I spent a couple hours trying for mackerel with a Sabiki rig for none. I saw a few fish caught but to be honest they appeared to be sardines caught on the bait catching rigs. I fished Hermosa the week prior and it was really good. I caught about 15 macs and one Bonita but it would seem for now...
