ABOUT WHITE SEABASS

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 inshore—surface and live bait produce explosive action.

Summer

Peak offshore season—yo-yo jigs and live squid are top choices.

Fall

Fish stack near structure—slow trolling and deep presentations work best.

Winter

Limited numbers remain near islands—heavy jigs and bait rigs trigger strikes.
