![]() Other areas that have also been producing some bluefin since Hilary passed through are the 9 Mile Bank, 43 Fathom Spot, the Corner, the 224 Spot, the 302 Spot and the 182 Spot. The bluefin are biting pretty well today and are being hooked on small sized flylined sardines, medium sized flylined sardines and surface iron. What is great is that this influx of bluefin that started yesterday has followed through to today with lots of spots of breaking bluefin being reported by boats fishing 3 to 8 miles off the coast between Carlsbad and Box Canyon. They landed the 30 pound bluefin that bit the flylined sardine and ended up loosing the 2 bluefin that bit the surface iron. They were able to get one of the spots of breaking bluefin off the anchovies they were feasting on and hooked one bluefin on a sardine and 2 on surface iron. They were pleasantly surprised at what they found offshore in locating spots of breaking bluefin tuna that were eating anchovies while 4 to 5 miles off the coast between Solana Beach and South Carlsbad. Also new on the bluefin front is that good numbers of 30 to 100 pound bluefin have moved into an area 3 to 6 miles off the coast between Solana Beach and Box Canyon.Ĭaptain Joe Cacciola of the Sea Star with Sea Star Sportfishing and the Oceanside Sea Center reported that the Chubasco II from the Oceanside Sea Center was out on a three-quarter day trip yesterday and said they caught a bunch of rockfish, some whitefish and a lingcod during the morning and then went offshore to do some exploring for tuna and dorado. The bluefin bite at the Tanner Bank had slowed the past couple of days but has got back on track and has rallied today. The region of the Tanner Bank has been the best for the large bluefin on fish to 200-plus pounds but the fishing out that way has been erratic the past 2 days. The answer to the question of how Hilary would affect the offshore fishing is that it has had very little effect and that the fishing remains good for a mix of bluefin tuna, dorado, yellowfin tuna and yellowtail. ![]() After the passing of the storm, one of the things that was on the mind of a lot of anglers was what effect the high winds, high seas and massive amounts of runoff from the rain would have on the ocean water conditions and the fishing in offshore waters, at Los Coronado Islands, along the San Diego County coast and elsewhere. ![]() It was about 12 days ago that Tropical Storm Hilary moved through Southern California bringing strong winds, thunderstorms, high seas and lots of rain. ![]()
