Tanner and Cortes banks — Not much to report, although undoubtedly plenty of huge bottom biters to load up on at least. A fat finger of cool green water stretching down from the western Channel Islands, San Nicolas and over these banks dominated.

Outer pelagic waters — Bluefin schools have been riding the line, and that’s where the San Diego fleet has been finding the fish more recently. This is no place for a trailer boat though. You’ll want to get aboard a 2-day to 3-day trip to really have the best chances although it can be tapped on a 1.5-day run. However, the most success continued to be had in the dark on the heavy gear and jigs. There has been some catching in the daylight too, but a bit more fish watching than catching.
