Today's Fishing Advice

1. Best target species today: Mackerel

   • Mackerel is in peak season during June, making it a reliable target right now. They are often found in larger schools, which increases the chances of a good catch.
   • Look for them along the coastal areas and breaks where there’s a bit of current, especially around piers and jetties.
   • Use metal jigs or spoons in the range of 20 to 40 grams, as their flash and movement attract mackerel efficiently.
   • Fish during the early morning just after dawn or in the evening before sunset. Low tide will likely offer better conditions, as the bait fish will also be closer to shore.

2. Second-best target species today: Pollock

   • Pollock are still a solid choice as they remain active this time of year, and they can often be found in slightly deeper waters than mackerel.
   • They tend to hang around rocky areas or structure, so fishing from shore near these spots can yield good results.
   • Use soft plastic lures or shad-style baits in the 15 to 25 grams range, which mimic the movement of smaller fish they prey on.
   • Target them during transitional periods around low tide, particularly in low-light conditions, as this is when they tend to come in closer to feed.

Overall assessment: - Fishing conditions today are good. The combination of the right species in peak season and favorable timing increases your chances.

Tomorrow outlook: - Tomorrow should remain good for both mackerel and pollock, as the season for these species continues strong. Keep an eye on general patterns like low-light periods and tidal changes to maximize your chances.
