Sportfishing's 2019 West Coast Best Photos and Wrap Up. Bluefin were here!

What is the Tuna Triangle? Three coordinates make this. The first, is San Clemente Island. The second is Tanner Bank, and the third is Cortez Bank. Within this triangle you will find some of the biggest, meanest, and elusive bluefin tuna in the world! Behind the island is where the big ones are. It can get rough. Sometimes the trip out there can get a little rough, but the fishing is worth it. Good food, plenty of water, and maybe a beer or two to steady your feet. You will be about 100 miles offshore by now. If the Captain spots tuna before dawn, you can always drop glow in the dark flat falls down there, sometimes it works. Have some coffee, and watch now as the sun clears the horizon. The hunt is on. The bite is good at dawn. Backside of San Clemente is usually where you will start the day. First order of business is to find the Tuna. You can not catch tuna by just "fishing" off the side of the boat, you have to hunt them down. Chase the diving birds, spot the bait balls, look for foaming fish on the surface, watch your sonar marks, the list goes on. If they are spotted foaming on the surface, as many times they are, the Captain will navigate the vessel downwind of them and launch a kite into the air, with a frozen flying fish on a second line, running from the boat, to the kite, and down into the water. With a jerking motion, the frozen flying fish will drop in and out of the water. It is irresistible to Tuna, as this is one of their favorite foods. You will be on the line in no time.If you want to go on one of these incredible bluefin tuna specific hunts, give us a text or call at 619.508.7823 and let us help you find the right boat, and the right time to go.
