Water is very warm and loaded with jellies and salp.

Good Luck

Thanks for all the info rossman...when you say you fished from the point to the ritz..where exactly is that? We normally head north and fish the kelp.

My Sonar/GPS is in for repair so I couldn't hit my normal reefs and rockpiles, so I worked the edge of the kelp from the whistler buoy up the line to the Ritz Charlton

West Last Sunday:

Horse Sardines at the barge
Small WSB and Cudas inside by the barge-
No bites in close or out far to the south along Doheny beach
Swell was flat in the AM and grew in the afternoon, but was at a pretty slow interval so still fishable.

Would have done better with some chovies.

Not sure about real recent, but last Saturday the weather was nice, water temp was good but the water was cloudy, even muddy closer to shore. Still lots of dines to be caught on the sabiki.
