We've been catching barracuda more and more on sabiki rigs at the same old places that we catch bass and grunts. They show up on sonar as squiggly lines suspended in the water column. There are lots of them, they are invading.

We made it out fishing on March 9, 19, and 21 at about 25 to 30 miles out in 80 to 175 feet of water using live mackerel and barracuda for bait. The total for 3 days of fishing was 10 white sea bass from 30 to 50 pounds, a 30 pound yellowtail, and 16 grouper (gulf, leopard, pinto) from about 10...

I use #6 crosslock snaps (~150lb) with no swivel. I add a short piece of chafe tubing at the crimp crotch on my top shot, as that is always the weak link. I stopped using swivels. I don't think they are needed for most types of fishing I do. P-line and Berkley make great crosslock snaps. There...

Photos of the 3 big whites we caught last Friday.

I don't recommend squid. It works, but small fish will rob you. Try to catch live mackerel with sabiki rigs. We found macs last weekend at 10 miles out. If you don't have live macs, live baracuda or whole dead sardines are good too. I usually spend at least an hour searching for good bait. I...

No, I've never caught one without yellow spots. I'll add it to my bucket list!

Along with a bunch of yellowtail, we caught a nice sierra and a 29lb white seabass last Saturday.

We have found bonito, skipjack and yellowtail hanging out together in 200' of water.

Yellowfin Tuna

Black Skipjack?

Pacific Bonito?

Much respect to those who can catch big fish on 20lb line.

White seabass go nuts for live macs or fresh dead sardines. If you can't find good bait, try 8 to 16 oz blue or silver jigs that mimic them. Shawno

Scotfish Will you be fishing on a friend's boat or a charter and launching from Cholla or Penasco? I have caught a lot of grouper and whites around March 1st. It is a good time to fish, both with jigs and live bait. You should have no problem landing white or black seabass on spinning gear with...

If you haven't tried it yet, you need to order the Cedar Plank Fish entree at Capones. They make a vodka tomato cream sauce with shrimp and capers and serve it over a thick cut of grilled grouper. Heaven. Shawno

The conditions were perfect in MX over the weekend. We fished the deep reefs on Saturday and caught 2 white seabass up to 30 lbs, 1 leopard grouper, 1 red snapper, 6 yellowtails, and 20 goldspot bass. The yellowtails were 8 to 10 pounds and most of the goldspots were huge. We fished closer in...
