Today was mostly a travel day for us as was planned. We did stop late after 4:00 in the evening for some yellowtail. It took a bit of looking around but we eventually found some action. It wasn't exactly what we were looking for but it kept us busy for a while. 8-15 pound yellowtail is what we caught. We released most of what we caught but we tagged some of the 14 pounders we were getting. The fish bit until we left it to try and find a better grade. We never did but we didn't have much time left to look. The weather was definitely on the choppy/windy side of things today but it didn't bother us because we were rolling down with it so we didn't notice. We'll make a move tonight and fish first thing tomorrow targeting D, all of the above. See you then.
Captain Ryan Bostian checked tonight with an update from the San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing in Mission Bay.Β We have been fishing offshore still.Β We have had a lot of ups and downs.Β We are seeing schools of Bluefin Tuna of various sizes.
We recommend a 20 pound outfit with 1 or 2 size live bait hooks with a fluorocarbon leader.Β Bring a heavy rig to fish the big ones.
We had jumbos today 55 Pound Yellowfin 125 Bluefin Tuna 177 Bluefin Tuna
Excellent sign of fish around come on out and fish on the San Diego.
We gave it the Dark till Dark effort and came up dry. We did however see multiple very nice schools of yellowfin that were not interested in our hooks.
