UPDATED June 4, 2026

San Clemente Is —  Front side action was good, bonito, some yellowtail and lots of quality calico bass, best in the Bight right now. Rockfishing out deep is always an option, Desperation Reef and more. Just about all the overnight boats from San Pedro to Dana Wharf rolled on this island in recent days as windy weather made San Nicolas a non option for the more northern boats. But Newport and Dana overnight boats most consistently fished this island otherwise.

U.S. OFFSHORE

Tanner and Cortes banks — Surly some great bottom fishing with shots at resident yellowtail. But there were big bluefin last week, which seemed to have vaporized at press time. Nevertheless, worth keeping an eye on this area.

Inner pelagic waters — Big bonito in the 180-182 zone down into Mexican waters.

Outer pelagic waters — See the Tanner Cortes above. Bluefin showed between the banks and San Clemente and worked north and west before sinking out. Most of the action was night jigging and a large fraction of the catch were triple-digit grade tuna.

MEX TERRITORIAL<12mi (Mex license, passport and FMM)

Coronado Islands region, 3/4- full-day range — The yellowtail bite slowed enough the full-day boats out of San Diego opted for offshore fishing where there were 10- to 15-pound bonito in abundance.

Southern coastal 1.5- 2.5-day range — Yellowtail are on the micro-chove that has shown up coast wide. Otherwise bottom biters and the 3 Bs are best bets.
