On Saturday, March 7, Don Gibson caught and released a 36.6 pound blue catfish, breaking the record at Lake Hodges. The previous record was 29.8 pounds. The catfish was released after being weighed and photographed.

On the same day, at El Capitan, Pat McLaughlin caught a 38.85 pound blue catfish while bass fishing. Even though it was larger, McLaughlin's will fall short of the El Capitan lake record for blue catfish, which stands at 48.25 pounds. McLaughlin's fish was also released after being weighed.

Down in the La Paz area the fishing has been a bit abnormal for this time of year, which is usually the "off" season. In April, the yellowtail usually show. Now would be the time for Sierra, Cabrilla and the beginning of the Pargo Spawn. Those fish are there, plus some early arrivals — dorado and wahoo. It seems as though last year's great fishing might just continue. Here's a report from friend Jonathan Roldan of Tailhunters International.

On the local front, the 1/2 day boats are concentrating on rockfish, sculpin and the occasional yellowtail. 3/4 day trips are getting good numbers on the yellowtail down at the Coronado Islands, with some lingcod showing as well.

Down the line and off the beach in the Colonet area, limits of yellowtail and rockfish are fairly regular.

The long-range boats are finding the yellowfin tuna and wahoo from Alijos Rocks down to the Hurricane Bank, with the larger tuna coming from the Clarion area.
