Outstanding Sand Bass Fishing & Week/Weekend Schedule.

Sand bass bite gets even better with Patriot getting limits by 10 am this morning (Tuesday July 29) or 300 sand bass for 30 anglers. They are now looking for barracuda and may head a little offshore as kelp paddies are holding yellowtail and dorado. It will be interesting to see what their final count is for today.

The Nautilus had 253 sand bass on their morning ?? day trip this morning. Water is clean blue and 70 degrees. Bait is anchovy and sardine.

I went out Monday afternoon on the Nautilus's pm ?? day trip and ended up with 8 sand bass to 4 pounds, 1 short halibut, and lots hooking and unintentional releasing (little rusty). We had great sardine and limited amount of anchovy for Monday's trip. With fresh anchovy from our bait boat today, trips are doing really well on the sand bass. Jackpot for Monday's afternoon trip was an 8 pound barracuda. Current was light and 2 oz torpedo sinker was the hot setup, although with more anchovy to chum with the ?? ounce slider setup would also do well. Really fun fishing with lots of action.

Here is Newport Landing Sportfishing's schedule for the remainder of this week & weekend (Weds July 30-Weds August 6).
