Camping trip at Leo carrillo.

How was Leo?
Did you end up fishing?
I went out at Deer creek rd. Not a lot of fish but there where plenty of seals and dolphin.

Thanks
I haven't launched from Leo Carrillo yet.
Thinking of doing so in the near future.
Maybe I will see you down there.

Curious as to what you mean by whitefish.

I'll be out there Saturday, probably the usual rockfish in the rocks to the East in front of Nicholas Canyon, but also want to try drifting for halis. Any particularly good spots for that?

Probably ocean whitefish. Small mouth, like cut squid, same neighborhood as rockfish. Good eating

I meant ocean white fish. They have a small mouth and prefer squid strips. I also saw some sheepshead the other day on shrimp. If you go double dropper loop with a squid strip and a shrimp will never fail. For halibut i prefer trolling along the edges of where the eel grass and rocks meet the sand. This can be from 15 to 30 feet of water (need a fish finder). If you don't have a FF trolling the edges of the kelp with a live Mack or squid on a Carolina rig off the bottom will get you halibut, as well as the chance for a WSB or even a yellow
Good luck out there and Stay safe

Sorry for the late response, i just got back from the trip today. We fished leo Monday morning. Paddled out a bit late trying to wait out the wind. Water was a lake by the time we got out. Fished around for a bit for nada then finally got on a spot for all you could want whitefish. Literally every drop was a bite. Saw a guy on Tuesday pull a halibut out and to guys on Wednesday pull a 50+ pound WSB out.
