Angling for Big Fish at Santa Catalina Island
Angling for large yellowtail and other sport fish off Santa Catalina Island California is a rare joy for San Francisco sportsmen. The yellowtail is the premier Southern California catch, taken by hook and line from a small boat within 10 to 50 feet of the rocks. The fish range 50 to 200 pounds and 4 to 6 feet, appearing mid April with flying fish and biting best during that period. Fishing uses light eight foot single joint rods, seven ten foot lines, a two pound flying fish lure, and two anglers sit facing the stern in a sixteen foot boat powered by a small engine or paddled by the boatman. The fish show brilliant silver gold blue coloration, with a silver belly and yellow tail and fins, making a striking, valuable catch.
