The EL CAPITAN returned this morning with LIMITS of Yellowfin Tuna and Yellowtail. Outstanding fishing to say the least. Now is the time folks!!! Light loads on the boats and plenty of fish in the sea!!!! Capt. Alan reports great weather and plenty of fish for everyone. Alan has some great trips from 1.5-2.5 day trips with space this month. Get onboard and get hooked up!!!

The MISSION BELLE had a great snap on the NICER GRADE YELLOWTAIL (10-30lbs) at the Coronado Islands yesterday, finishing with 27 Yellowtail, 1 Calico, 1 Rockfish and 1 Halibut for 24 anglers. Fish are up on the surface breezing around and have been fooled with fin bait as well as surface irons. The boat will be at the Islands thru Sunday the 6th. We will also be keeping tabs on the offshore scene. Stay tuned.

The fishing season is not over yet. As we transition from Summer to Fall, we are still amazed at the volume, size and aggressiveness of these Bluefin Tuna. We are still seeing great numbers of Dorado and Yellowtail and we are still awaiting the explosion of these Yellowfin Tuna. DON'T START BREAKING DOWN THE TACKLE JUST YET!!! We have some epic trips lined up to get you offshore and on the fish!!!! Watch for trips through October aboard the EL CAPITAN, DOMINATOR, NEW LO-AN and we have a few more tips aboard the EL DORADO.

*BLUEFIN TUNA TACKLE*

On these schools of tuna, DO NOT BOTHER WITH LINE LIGHTER THAN 30LB TEST. You want to have at least one rig with 50-60lb line. Hooks can be 2/0-5/0 and paired with fluorocarbon will be your best bet at landing these not so gentle giants. 2 speed reels can make a world of difference. If your trip is overnight or longer, plan tackle accordingly.  

*YELLOWFIN TUNA TACKLE* These Yellowfin have been mixed size from 12-45lbs. They are pretty eager to bite the 30-40lb line. 2/0-3/0 hooks, fluorocarbon and reels with smooth drag are all you need. These fish are not quite as capable of destroying tackle like these Bluefin we have been fishing. Yellowfin are also no stranger to surface plugs or yo-yo jigs.
