Atractoscion nobilis

About White Sebass

White Seabass are large, powerful pelagic predators found along rocky points, kelp beds, and offshore islands. Success requires heavy tackle, appropriate live bait or jigs, and patience.

Spring

Schools move inshoreβ€”surface and live bait produce explosive action.

Summer

Peak offshore seasonβ€”yo-yo jigs and live squid are top choices.

Fall

Fish stack near structureβ€”slow trolling and deep presentations work best.

Winter

Limited numbers remain near islandsβ€”heavy jigs and bait rigs trigger strikes.
