976-BITE is based in Point Loma and specializes in providing the latest Southern California and Northern Baja offshore fish reports as well as San Diego County coastal and Coronado Islands fishing information.  Those fishing out of Orange County and Long Beach area harbors also get excellent information to help in their fishing as our offshore reports include detailed coverage of the tuna, marlin, and kelp paddie fishing in the Catalina and San Clemente Island areas.  You get detailed coverage of Catalina Island and San Clemente Island springtime and winter white seabass and yellowtail fishing too!

Tap into information from our extensive network of sportboat and 6 pack Captains as well as information from our vast network of private boater information sources. Our reports also include information from spotter planes and during our 21 years of operation we have developed a network of information sources that others only can dream of trying to achieve.

We work around the clock in corresponding with our many sources and in gathering information from skippers exchanging their catch reports out on the water to bring you the freshest and most accurate information available anywhere!
