Bluefin Explosion — EVERYONE WANTS THE GOLDEN GATE SHOT – The bluefin tuna pictured here was not landed inside of San Francisco Bay, but the Golden Gate shots have become a standard of the bluefin explosion in northern California. Photo courtesy of Scallyway Sport Fishing.

Several six-pack boats had been getting in on the fray including the Codfather and Tanker City out of Alameda and the Scallywag out of Emeryville. The Codfather was the first boat to put in the miles at the start of the season, and they will be back out again this week. Big boats such as the Pacific Dream out of Berkeley are on standby for the right weather conditions for an overnight trip with live bait. When it’s on, it’s on, and anglers are losing far less fish as there is far more attention paid to having the proper gear.
