The Island’s History San Clemente Island has a rich history that dates back centuries. It all began with the indigenous Gabrielino-Tongva people, who lived on the island for generations and relied on its plentiful marine life and resources.

The island was named “San Clemente” in his honor, coinciding with Saint Clement’s…

We had a successful week with good coverage of offshore, bass, and rockfish. Along the coast, the 1/2 day scene has been productive. Water temperatures ranged between 66°-68°, with bass action both in mid-water and on the sinker set ups. There is still some flyline action happening on days with favorable conditions. There was no…

We had a busy week with boats out every day Bass fishing for the 1/2 day boat remained kinda status quo with water now in the 66°-68° range.  Sinker setups reverse dropper loops and Carolina rigs fished best for the bass.  Some nice sand bass on those setups and some nice sheephead for the guys…

Great week across the board for us great opportunities in many areas Along the coast the water back in the 70-71° range.  Bass fishing showed some improvement with the red tide about gone.  Classic flyline fishing for the calico bass and plenty of bites coming off the rigs fishing the bottom for the sand bass,…

Fishing for bass has improved with water temperatures reaching between 64-65 degrees. The most successful approach this week has been utilizing Carolina rigs or straight sliders with sliding egg sinkers. Using a lighter line, around 10-12lb, has proven effective for catching both sand bass and calico bass. Additionally, half-day trips have yielded some nice sheepshead…

This week, water temperatures have been varied, ranging from the coolest at 60.5° to 65° at the start of the week. It seems that mixed-up conditions and some downhill current may have contributed to this. Despite the cool water, bass fishing has been as good as expected. Those looking to catch some bass have had…

Plowed through another week here locally and over at the island. Along the coast here, 63° water was pretty much the norm.  Where is the sun?  Man a little bit of sun would really kick things up.   We’ve got some great sardine and anchovy mix for our live bait so the bass action picked up…

Good week, very similar to what we had to work with last week with the conditions on the beach with 63° water. Bass fishing for the 1/2 day anglers showed more signs of improvement with some action for the guys on the fly lined baits and the artificials.  A day or two of some dirty…

Status quo type of week with some good opportunities and some good fishing. 3/4 day fishing has still been on the rockfish push.  Along the coast here, the reds and bocaccio made up the bulk of the counts with some whitefish and other random mixed rockfish.  Good conditions made for easy drifts and anchor sets.   Off the beach…

Water temps on the beach making good improvements 62°-63° and the half-day bass fishing has been improving every day with it.  Good action on the live baits with the calico bass.  A 1/4 oz egg sinker and a live anchovy are super simple and just classic bass approaches are catching fish. We just started our…
