Channel Islands Harbor is in Ventura county, not LA County. They have quite a few boats, and how good the bite is will depend on which one you get on (that is, the length of the trip). The half-day boats will usually fish spots along the coast; the longer trips may run across to the islands or go up or down the coast, wherever the skipper thinks the bite will be best.

Check it in the evening once the reports are all in.

Currently it seems the boats are doing bottom fishing, and making pretty good catches, with a few surface fish (calico bass and bonito) mixed in.
Though it doesn't make much difference for bottom fishing, for the surface fishing it helps to get a spot on the stern of the boat, which at CISC means you have to be near the front of the line when the boat is loading, which means showing up and buying your ticket sometimes a couple hours (or more, if the bite is on) before the departure time.  |
