UPDATED July 28, 2026

San Clemente Is — Been crazy on the yellows here. Just about every angler gets one or more. The hottest trips saw scores of close to 4 per rod, and that’s a lot of line snapping heartbreak cases along the way too. Some boats have even run to Long Beach to load live squid for this, but there is some to snag at the island too we hear. Once again this outer island not only has a few tuna circling along the front side being the drop-off is steep as Guadalupe, but the transit takes you through good tuna ground too.  Navy ops closure map/schedule at: https://www.scisland.org/schedule.html Navy island info links and kite regs: http://www.scisland.org/

U.S. OFFSHORE

Tanner and Cortes banks — Bluefin, this is the zone, inside the banks, around them. Most success is coming on the kite during the daylight or on the iron at night. The San Diego fleet has the best bead on the bite out here, day in and day out.

Inner pelagic waters — Yes! Some kelping success to be had and maybe you’ll spot a few fish on the surface.

Outer pelagic waters — Yes! Those bluefin schools can pop up just about anywhere from day to day

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

Coronado Islands region, 3/4- full-day range — Between blows the yellowtail, barracuda, bonito bite out at the islands and Rockpile comes back with a vengeance. But the day after a blow it’s pretty slow so the full-day fleet is switching things up between offshore local and island.

Southern coastal 1.5- 2.5-day range — This zone is biting but our fleet tends to stay off these spots and leaves them for the locals during this time of year.
