The ROCKENREEL had 3 charters today. This morning's bite started out with a nice Barracuda on the first cast immediately. The third catch was a nice White Sea Bass followed by a couple dozen more Calico Bass, one Sand Bass and a ton of big Barracuda. Tomorrow Captain Noah is scouting Catalina for 10 hours on the Scarab and I'm targeting Big Makos on a 10 hour and I will drop for Swordfish followed by a local twilight trip for WSB. Fish on.

Last night the local Bass Bite was wide open. Today water started out blue the went green. 67-69 degrees today 69.4 high. We had a tough 12 hr and stayed out 2 hours longer-14 hrs for a couple small makeral and a Bonito at Catalina. Q4 mile bank was quiet . 267 was quiet. Out front it was slow. The scarab has a 5 hr 6am-11 am fir 2 Calico Bass. I talked to a few other guys on the radio and when I got back. Everyone just shook their head- thats fishing. We tried everything shuts off as quick as it turns back on. There is always tomorrow! One of our local stick boats landed a 450 and 340 swordfish today. I witnessed the second catch from our boat and it was epic. My buddy saw 3 4-5 foot makos this morning on his way to the 267 where nobody was home. I hit the 14 mile bank 2 times today and Nada. THE STICK NOAT CAPTAIN SAID HE SAW A BIG BIG BIG MAKO OUT FRONT TODAY.

Bass and Barracuda bite - back on again. First cast today landed a 22 inch White Sea Bass and steady Calico Bass bite. Whale watching cattle boat spotted a big Mako yesterday. We were not targeting Mako- was scouting for the Tuna that started squirting into our battlegrounds out front at the 267 bank. Fish on! Dorado have not showed in numbers. Yellowtail-"Amberjack" are also out there if you can find the right kelp patti holding fish.

A quick 3 hr . A nice 30-40lb Halibut turned and snapped the line when he saw the boat Calico Bass

Had a full day trip and left the harbor water was 58 degrees. Out front inshore 63 degrees for 1 Calico Bass so off to the 14 mile bank for 1 small Mako Shark. Slow day. Hopefully tomorrow the cold water temps bounce back and start warming for awesome action like yesterday! Its been really good for over a month. The wind only blew at 25 Knotts for about 6 hours last night and it picked up this afternoon. Tomorrow's fishing and water temps are to be determined. Catalina fishing is the same as the local right now.

Mako Sharks are HOT. Best season we have ever had RockenReel Sportfishing specializes in dual fishing- fish/shark combo trips. We have secret sauces and go above and beyond when it comes to budget- we don't have one- our goal is to do everything in our power to land you that catch of a lifetime. We triple down and get busy. Bait, attract tactics, tackle and are expertise and secret weapons have earned us the reputation of being the #1 S CAL Sharking Charter Fleet. We live, eat and breathe fishing! This season started early with the Bass and Barracuda bite. Halibut is starting to turn on now. The pelagic fish should be local soon- water temps are 69-71 degrees, great fishing temps. The Mako Sharks are here with warm blue clean water and we are averaging a few Mako Sharks every day fir the past 5 days. Bass and Barracuda are wide-open several hours if every day. It's still fishing so sometimes you don't get the fish or sharks but this time of year - summer and early fall- you have a great chance.
