OPTIONS Sportfishing with a Channel Islands mixed bag

Coronado Islands region, 3/4- full-day range — Bottom fish for now

Southern coastal 1.5- 2.5-day range — There was a 5-day that found some great coastal yellowtail action early in the trip, but we’re not sure how far down the line that was.

MEX PELAGIC>12mi

(Mex license only)

Open waters to full-day range — There are bluefin and yellowfin tuna in this range but no great scores recently.

Open waters 1.5- to 3.5-day range — Corroded with both bluefin and yellowfin, but tough to get them to bite. Some partyboat scores made down this way however, but the fleet shifted west to the bite at the Cortes most recently.

Long Range report — Capt Andy Cates on the Red Rooster III reported “Conditions down below are getting better and better . Things have cooled a little and wahoo are moving in. Big wahoo have been caught in some of the spots on the lower ridge. Allijos Rocks has cooled off to 73.0 degrees . The sharks have moved off and opened up a new arena for fish up to 130 pounds . Excellent tuna fishing outside and trophy wahoo on the inside. The offshore seem has produced epic size dorado and a few wahoo on kelps.

Grant Norman picked off a 74.5 pound wahoo on the lower ridge . Many other wahoo in the 50 plus pound range. Tuna fishing on the upper ridge is still good with 25 to 75 pound yellowfin tuna”
