FEATURED FISH - KELP BASS

An omnivorous feeder, it will take most of the local live baits as well as a variety of artificial lures. A favorite rig is a metal jig and whole squid that can be bounced along the bottom. The best fishing is summer to fall although it can be fished year round in some areas.
