a good way to get situated in an area where some yellowtail might show.
Yellowtail have been biting best on iron with surface iron and yo-yo iron both being productive. This morning the yellows were reported to be biting best on surface iron and yesterday, they were reported to be mostly ignoring the surface iron and biting better on yo-yo iron.

Good choices for surface iron have been Tady 45’s and Salas 7X lights in the blue and white color combination and in sardine colors.

Much of the fishing along the San Diego County coast during the cold water months of the annual 2-month rockfish/ groundfish closure is focused on targeting calico bass, sand bass, and sculpin by fishing hard bottom and structure spots. The Imperial Beach Pipeline has been one of the better areas since the 2 month closure period began and it continues to produce good mixed bag fishing for sand bass, calico bass, and sculpin.
Other productive hard bottom and structure spots that have been producing a mixed bag of calico bass, sand bass, and sculpin are the hard bottom to the northwest of Buoy #3 at Point Loma, the Lighthouse Ridge off the Point Loma Lighthouse, the Jetty Kelp hard bottom outside of Mission Bay, the Variety Kelp hard bottom off Pacific Beach, the Anderson and Buccaneer Pipelines,
tively fishing in different areas to not overfish specific areas. The group also works with Scripps, visiting the institute yearly, and some of the members work with Scripps to tag and release white sea bass at the Channel Islands. To join the Lady Anglers, there is an application and waiver. Participants must be over 18-years-old and identify as a woman; there is a $20 initiation fee and a $30 yearly membership fee.

The halibut fishing has been scratchy with just a very occasional halibut being reported. Areas, where there has been occasional halibut activity that would spot you might want to try to scratch out a halibut, are Imperial Beach, the sandy bottom next to the structure of the Yukon Shipwreck off Mission Beach, the structure of the sunken NEL Tower off Mission Beach, South Ponto Beach, the sandy bottom next to the Buccaneer Pipeline and the sandy bottom next to the artificial reefs off Oceanside.
An ongoing reminder is that anglers need to keep in mind that the annual 2-month rockfish/groundfish closure went into effect in U.S. waters on January 1, 2022. The closure will run through Feb.
upcoming banquet, which is a good opportunity for anglers to get out of their fishing gear and dress to the nines to celebrate with friends. “All we want are people that have positive attitudes, a love of the sea, and want comradery,” said Estep. “We do have a lot of fun. People who join the club make lifelong friends, and that is in a nutshell what we are all about.” For more information, follow the club on Instagram @danawharfladyanglers, Facebook at Dana Wharf Lady Anglers, and their website, which is undergoing maintenance at https://www.danawharfladyanglers.com.
28, 2022, and during the 2 month closure period anglers will need to travel into Mexican waters to fish for the various rockfish/groundfish species that are covered by the closure. During the closure period, Skippers fishing in U.S. waters have been and will be focusing on species that are not covered by the closure such as calico bass, sand bass, sculpin, halibut, yellowtail, and white seabass.
