The local trout scene seldom disappoints. Our local pay to play lakes spend lots of money to insure that there are lots of trout come winter time. And even though some hard core saltwater fisherman can’t fathom the thought of trout fishing, some of the trout in our local lakes are as big as the yellowtail you caught this summer.
As we entered winter we were all wondering if the delayed September spawn of the sand bass off Imperial Beach would affect the move of the fish to San Diego Bay. Usually, the sand bass move in great numbers into the bay in October, but would they still be hanging outside?
The 24 Penn Fishing University anglers aboard the Searcher during late September’s 6-day long rang excursion out of Fisherman’s Landing in San Diego with Captain Art Taylor at the helm found excellent action on a variety of species, including yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, and dorado.
