There was some scattered marlin action found by boats fishing around the eastern part of Catalina today but the show and bite was off today when compared to the fishing on Saturday and Saturday’s fishing was off from the fishing on Thursday and Friday. I did not hear of a marlin being caught and released in the Catalina region today.  There was some fog around again today and on Skipper did report seeing 2 sleepers in the fog this morning.  The fog could certainly have a limiting effect on what can be seen but the general opinion was that the showing of fish and the bite was on the decline for the second day in a row.

There was some marlin activity reported by a boat fishing off the Slide and there was a sleeper seen at the Avalon Bank in the area of 3324 and 11814. Another set of coordinates where there had been some marlin activity on Saturday and where there was a bit more marlin activity today was off the Can Dump region in the area of 3320 and 11815.  In general, the recent marlin activity has ranged from between the 40 fathom curve and the 100 fathom curve in an area ranging from being outside of Church Rock to fishing off the Slide.

Some more marlin seem to be showing up in closer to the coast. On Saturday there was a marlin caught by a boat fishing off Fashion Island off Newport Beach and today there was a marlin released by a boat fishing off Dana Point.  What is also interesting is that the same Captain that saw a marlin on Saturday morning in 35 fathoms of water outside of the breakwater at Dana Point saw 2 more marlin in that same zone this morning.
