Most of the action has been coming from spots of breezing fish being marked by diving white Terns. The skippers report that the best groups of biting yellowtail are the ones you find that are working red crabs The best bet is to cast jigs and sardines right to the breezing fish as you slide alongside them and get ready to get your bait or jig in the water right away as most of the strikes are happening when you first slide to a stop alongside the breezing fish.

The spots of fish spook easily so approach them carefully. Another good technique for a private boater might also be to try slow trolling nose hooked sardines around 2 knots of speed.

If you are unfamiliar with this technique, you hook the bait across the nose and troll at about 2 knots of speed. You are fishing holding the rod in your hand, with the reel in free spool and with your thumb on the spool so you can ease up on the thumb pressure when you get bit to allow the fish to run with the bait a short ways before putting the reel in gear to set the hook. Troll the Rapalas around while looking for the meter marks kelp paddies and breezing fish to stop on and work with bait and Jigs.

The Dolphin II was on an overnight trip and had 15 anglers take 75 yellowtail and 30 barracuda. The afternoon trip fished the kelp beds and had 16 anglers catch 24 calico bass, 8 rockfish, 14 barracuda and 1 white seabass.

Coastal Fishing. In the Oceanside area the bass bites and can be pretty good If you can find some areas of kelp stringers in good looking water. Best bet above the harbor is up around the Barn Kelp and Yellowtail Kelp area and below the harbor try working kelp stringers between Leucadia and Solana beach. There have been a few Yellowtail holding on kelp paddies 4 to 7 miles of the coast, best area has been down outside of the stretch between Torrey Pines and Encinitas.

Also look for spots of breezing yellowtail, bonito and a few barracuda working bird schools 4 to 6 miles outside of the deep water canyon above La Jolla and outside of Torrey Pines but I did not hear of anyone fishing this area the past two days.

The surface fishing at the kelp beds at La Jolla has been producing a few barracuda and bass down around Southwest at the lower end of La Jolla but the better bite has developed down at the point loma kelp for barracuda and calico bass and many of the Mission Bay boats have chosen to fish the Point Loma Kelp the past few days. Check the kelp beds at Point Loma around the Lab and Green tank and fish right along the edges of the kelp.

The other area producing some occasional barracuda action is the Whistler Buoy at Point Loma. Use sardines for the calicos and fish them right in the kelp. Use sardines and iron for the barracuda. The best marlin fishing remains in the lee of San Clemente Island as boats are finding some fish scattered from the Radar Dome on up to Northwest Harbor while fishing 2 to 4 miles off of the Island.

The bite was red hot just a few days back but it has slowed a bit over the past three days. Today there were three tournaments fishing the region and there were 4 or 5 marlin caught combined for the three tournaments. Southern California offshore anglers have been enjoying some fine spring fishing, but the past several days have seen unsettled weather conditions get in the way of anglers being able to get out to the offshore banks to fish areas where the bluefin tuna and yellowtail have been biting.

The weather is improving though and today there are some boats back out on the offshore fishing grounds that are finding success once again targeting bluefin and yellowtail. Prior to the recent stretch of bad weather, there were good numbers of bluefin tuna biting out by San Clemente Island for boats working the region of the Spot which is located off the back side of the island outside of China Point. The Spot is located at 70 miles, degrees from Point Loma.

Most of the bluefin were in the 18 to pound range with some bigger fish in the mix that were going to plus pounds. I just got some information about how some of the boats are doing fishing offshore waters for bluefin tuna and yellowtail on May The update was that they had 16 bluefin tuna aboard that ranged in size from 80 to pounds. They had 19 anglers aboard that had caught 8 bluefin tuna and 15 yellowtail. Their bluefin ranged in size from 30 to pounds with 5 of the bluefin up over the pound mark.

Both Outrider and the Pegasus were still fishing at the time of those reports. Seaforth Sportfishing reported getting an early update from Polaris Supreme that is out on a 1. They had 9 bluefin tuna aboard, and that 8 of the bluefin were in the to pound range. Polaris Supreme was still fishing at the time of that report. Point Loma Sportfishing reports getting an early update from American Angler that had 6 bluefin tuna aboard that ranged in size from pounds to pounds.

American Angler was still fishing at the time of their report. Boats fishing offshore waters within 45 miles or so of Point Loma had been finding good numbers of kelp paddie yellowtail and a few bluefin tuna biting while fishing areas such as the Upper Hidden Bank, the Bank, the Spot, the Spot, the Spot, the Spot, the Corner, the San Clemente Basin Weather Buoy, and the 43 Fathom Spot. This is a wide area that had boats spread out fishing areas ranging from 15 to 45 miles to degrees from Point Loma.
