Macks Fish Reports

Opening day at pyramid lake Nevada. The line is longer than Santa Ana river lakes on a trout stock

Come on out Thursday night to the kc angler meeting at 11231 rives ave in Downey. I'll be doing a seminar covering trout fishing from local and travelling to surrounding states. I'll be going over some of the gear I use and why, like fishing syndicate rods, hookup baits, bite on crimson trout attractant. What I look for on new bodies of water and everything in between. Then I'll be talking a little about bowfishing as well. Also there is always a huge raffle at the end.

I wonder after all the different scientific studies that have been done if Vermillion rock fish and sunset rock fish will both have independent catch and take limits. Being that Vermillion rock fish are limited to two per angler per day now but if they are a sunset rock fish then the reason for the change a few years ago could be all wrong.

Can you spot the difference?

California’s spiny lobster season opens next week on Friday, Oct. 2, 2026, at 6 p.m.!

Make sure you have Your lobster catch card, measuring gauge for each passenger on board. All hoop nets marked with go id numbers.
5 max nets in the water for a single person or 10 if you have 2 or more people on board.
Make sure the card is filled out with location code before you drop and always make sure you only have 7 lobsters in possession only. Even if you go out Friday come home then go back out Saturday you better eaten a few or gave some away lol

Tommorrow morning between 8am-9am I will be going live on location at Jess ranch lakes in Apple Valley. I'll be talking to the owner and walking around to see what's in store for the upcoming trout opener next Friday October 2nd. Will be checking out the massive fish they will be putting into the lake for you all to catch. If you have never been it's such a fun family oriented place to fish and hang out on the weekends. They have Giant blue trout, their version of golden trout and definitely giant rainbow trout. You definitely don't want to miss it on the public page of macks fish reports.

Also I will be interviewing Cali Binks who is running for County Superintendent of schools for San Bernardino County. Will be talking about some of her outdoor experiences, some upcoming programs that maybe we can implement in schools like a school fishing program or something along those lines. Get more kids and families of all ages outside enjoying the outdoors and experience some places to explore like Jess ranch lakes and other places to fish and visit in the county of San Bernardino like the county parks such as, Cucamonga Guasti, Yucaipa regional ect. Like the Goal that carries over from the saying from AC. Give a kid a tackle box not an XBox. Maybe we can even cover some future county programs to have school field trip to these spots as well. Who knows but this is just a start in the right direction so we gotta vote her into office first in November!!!

So I'll see you all in the morning live on Macks fish reports

Yet another season starts for the So-Cal Trout season!!!

The bar has been raised a little bit higher!!!

Markus Medak who owns the New Lo-An sportfishing has just weighed in a 446 pound bluefin tuna! This beast came in with that massive weight gilled and gutted. So it could of lost 30 pounds easy if not a few more when it was freshly boated.
At this rate will there be a Pacific blue fin tuna that hits the 500 # mark soon here in California? With a current world record at just over 900 pounds it certainly can happen. The ocean is red hot!

What an absolute tank!!!

The Game Changer Sportfishing from San Diego caught a blue fin tuna so large one hasn't been seen this big in many many years. This fish taped out at 441 pounds. But after a day on ice, it officially weighed in at 420 pounds on a scale on land! It beats out the official state record but many things come in to play for it to actually become a new record so will see if it does qualify but still what a phenomenal catch for these guys!

They also got many other fish including a marlin to go with it. Check them out down in SD!
