Hi my name is David Watters. I am an avid Sport Fisherman from the warm tropical waters of the Gulf of Mexico. I love to catch all types of fish and am new to the waters of the Pacific. I am looking for any and all information regarding Blue water fishing from Catalina to Baja CA. What are the best areas and times of years to attack? I am also interestes in whale watching, in the gulf we have only seen a couple of whales. Anyhow, I know this is a very broad topic so let me be more specific, what are the best baits to use for bottom fishing around structure? What are the best baits to use for blue water trolling? What are the best times of year for bottom fishing, blue water trolling? My favorite fish to catch and to eat is the tuna.. What kind of baits work well for the tuna, I have some tricks up my sleeve for the gulf will they work out here? When and where are the best whale watching locations. I own a 25 foot center console offshore machine and have about 1oo miles of range. Again thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing feed back.
