Hey there guys,
I couldn't keep this info on just one board. The Southern California Saltwater scene from Catalina Island (off Los Angeles) to San Diego has gone absolutely nuts. This is like an El Nino years of the past.
Fish being caught by open-party, 3/4 day, all day and overnighter boats include: Yellow Fin Tuna, Blue Fin Tuna (110+ pounds), dorado(mahi mahi), Yellowtail, Albacore (35 pounds), Skipjack, Mako Shark and Striped marlin! On open party boats!!!! Lot's of paddy hopping. Twice as many hooks as caught! I'm leavin' for the dock at 1am to get my spot!!!
I'll be going out the next 4 days.... sorry about that guys! What a trip! 75 foot Sporties with 20 to 30 passengers (remember open-party weekday trips) are getting 150+ fish!!! Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
If you're going, bring your 50 pound setups or you'll return with tears in your eyes.
