Definitely when I went to the Newport jetty last week is was just mackerel and no bites bottom fishing. Same with Balboa a couple weeks before.

On the boat off the Palos Verdes was slow too.

Some Spanish macks, two short calico and a short halibut.

Could be some red tide poking up around the areas right now.

Hard to say what's going on. Somewhat in between the seasons.

 

[Brock Norris]

Yes I'm thinking stuck between winter spring still good conditions one day blowing turning water over the next Im not seeing any red tide right now thanks for the reply I've using blood worms market shrimp salted sardines and squid and ghost shrimp so i don't think bait is the problem thanks

 

[Ken Jones]

No, sounds like you've got the right bait. Traditionally, if the bait is there, halibut should begin to bite in inshore SoCal waters in May

 

[Mahigeer]

No red tide. At times windy, but no red tide.

Two weeks ago I was at Balboa Pier and it certainly seemed like there may have been a red tide; stained water all the way out to the end, foul smelling sea foam, and very slow fishing.
