Check out this nice yellowfin tuna we caught in the East Cape. It weighed in at 201 pounds. Mark Rayor Vista Seasport more info

I don't know if it is a coincidence, but the Humboldt squid show up and suddenly, it was tuna time. Tales of broken tackle and disappointed anglers were common this week. However, for the few who closed the deal, they were so exhausted that even the 'high-fives' were difficult. Not all the fish are VW size; for the wimps, (or is it the smart ones?), in your group there are plenty of smaller fish mixed in. Most of the action is out 20 to 40 miles providing time to find a sailfish.

The dorado are thick down toward Los Frailes and beyond all the way to Gordo Bank...most of them are weighing in the mid-teen range.

Near the Lighthouse, there is also a good concentration of smaller yellowfin tuna with skipjack mixed in.

The water along the beaches has cleaned up, but there is still plenty of bait attracting roosters, jacks, ladyfish and pompano. It is still warm enough that if you go out on the beach midday, it may feel more like an Ironman competition, than fishing. If you think that 'heats not neat', try early morning and late afternoon.
