Not a lot of bottom fish are open in SoCal at this time. Mexico is open for
the bottomfish, ling cod and other rockfish. Mostly yellowtail and out 90
miles albacore. Most are fished with live bait or Tady type jigs. The
livebait is mostly pinhead anchovies, which use a #1 livebait hook or small
sardines with a #2 live bait hook. As to rockfish, 3/0-5/0.

the fishing reports forums. Also links to the landings.
