White Seabass like kelp. Deepwater kelp it seems they preffer. March - June usually is the best time to catch them as the fish come up from deep water to spawn on the kelp beds.
WSB fishing is just knowing the conditions and there behavior. just like fishing for any other fish species. conditions vary by location. There some folks here who have conditions dialed in so well, they can go fishing for them, and catch them consistantly. Those same folks put alot of time to have figured it out. Though the legal limit in offseason times is 3 fish, Its always good to encourage modest take. White Seabass were almost whiped out by gillnet/trawl comerical fishing many years ago, and with reaserch, breeding and planting techniques they have made a huge comback, so much so that you have years like last one. |

Monterey Bay gets a great WSB season along the inshore waters across the whole bay. Definitely deep water seabass fishing as many of the fish come up with the swim bladders exposed. Lived up there from aug07-last july and never got a chance to go at them...now that i have the kayak i am gonna definitely drag it up there and give it a go.
