Southern California Bight FISHING REPORT 08/01/2024

There has been a massive influx of bluefin tuna into LA County Waters during the run up to the new moon. Some are saying this is the most fish they've ever seen in our local waters! Check out this week's report to get all the details! #bloodydecks #SoCalBightReports #BightFishingReport

Look forward to your Thursday reports, makes my week!

[@fishingfiend]

LOL you have the best fans! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping us find our own fish!

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

Thanks for watching!

[@whitneyuyeda1078]

Thanks for the report big guy. Enjoy your reports every week😊🤙

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

Thanks for tuning in slayer! I know and respect you.

[@corkypasquil4113]

Thanks for another informative report. Great bonus video on the surface fishing set ups. Now I gotta save up $3000 to get that lineup :-)

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

It’s pretty ridiculous when you think about it 😂

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

You don’t need the tackle I recommend to go out and catch fish. I’ve spent most of my life getting by with what I’ve got and had a hell of a good day time doing it!

[@GNTSullivan]

You sound wise - keep it coming!

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

I plan to. Thanks

[@675Films]

Appreciate the dedication, man. Hope you feel better

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

Thank you!

[@johnphale]

Thank you

[@NicktheQuick00777]

I watch your report religiously each week keep up the terrific work! My line of work is in the respiratory therapy sleep medicine field. I'm built the same as you boss and there is a thing called sleep apnea, its also dubbed the silent killer. You give so much great fishing advice so, I would like to extend the favor back to you. Ask your MD to have a home sleep test to check your breathing during the night. It will change your life! Best of health fishing buddy!

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

Will do! Thanks for the tip

[@kevinjohnson9370]

Good report thank you. sorry to hear your sick get well soon buddy that suck when you're sick! thank you for giving it your best feeling sickly tight lights HAMMERDOWN

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

Thanks!

[@mikebrown739]

I have been watching your podcast for a long time and I noticed you seem to be having an allergic reaction to something in your home. I recommend getting a mold test and asbestos test.
Also have you tried Claritin?
Thanks for your fishing tips!
Cheers

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

I take Claritin every day. I’m just a mess when it comes to respiratory issues. Thanks for the concern!

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

And before anyone worries, I normally spend an hour in the gym three days a week. I just sound horrible 😂

[@rsrs3128]

Going to hit the inner banks tomorrow. Hopefully the weather cooperates

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

Good luck!

[@mrmidnight32]

Is there any way you guys can add video markers so we can skip the north and forward the video to the island or region we’re actually local/interested in?

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

That’s way beyond my pay grade so I don’t know. I think there’s an option to fast forward the video by pressing a button if your not interested in what I have to say.

[@timklippel5164]

I’ve been working at Malibu High school and fish were blowing up at Zuma beach Tuesday/Wednesday.. Birds diving too maybe 100 yards off the beach around 2:30 pm.Any clue what they were?

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

No idea but thats awesome!

[@dunpit3925]

You are lazy bruh don’t be a scab

[@1Chosen247]

Hey Erik,
Do you have any recommendations for Yamaha outboard mechanics in the OC? My 150 died on me 😱

[@matthewsharpe4759]

What tide / time of day is best to catch BFT? Then break off to try for YT

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

Your best bet for finding tuna up foaming is on a late morning or early afternoon slack tide. High or low doesn’t matter.

[@zekkkee]

It works now

[@rossginn1171]

Any help on finding a reputable 4-pack and smaller charters here in the Seal Beach area? Someone who isn’t opposed to headed to outer banks if feasible or island yellowtail searching,,,,,,, thanks

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

You can try Sealutions in Newport Beach.

[@rossginn1171]

@@eriklandesfeind7723 I’ll look into them, thanks

[@johnnyabalone]

Spiral to the left or to the right? Does it matter?

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

I wrap the guides in the opposite direction from the reel handle but I do t think it matters all that much.

[@gabrieldelatrinidad4422]

When the yellow tail stops biting?

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

Looks like they stopped biting yesterday and started again today. Hope it continues!

[@---nk4mk]

Anyone know a good mono 80lb knot for tuna of all sizes?

[@BigBassDreams]

Uni knot!

[@eriklandesfeind7723]

I tie the improved clinch for eneverything.

[@zekkkee]

There is no audio

[@ryanbernard6550]

[@bobwire3310]
