This week we had some great weather at the beach in Orange County but that was little consolation when the fish didn't bite!

A great report of a 15lb halibut being caught in Huntington Beach on a swimbait was the only really good news coming from the surf this week.

Although the water is clear the large surf along with the cooling water has slowed fishing. Look for the surf fishing to improve as the surf size diminishes and the fish begin to settle into the cooler water.

I'm off right now to fish near Pt. Conception in central CA and will report back this week with a catch report and pictures. Until then good luck and let me know what you catch!
