The San Diego finished their full day trip offshore on Wednesday with 9 Bluefin Tuna, 50-100lbs! They were biting the 200 gram Shimano Flat Fall jigs well today on 50# and torpedo sinkered baits! Suggested tackle for this offshore bluefin fishing includes 40# and 50# line for fly-lining sardines, a heavy setup (60-80#) with a flat fall jig crimped on with fluorocarbon, and everything from a #2 to 2/0 sized hooks. We have experienced a number of tackle failures due to the size of the fish this past week, so be sure to come prepared with new line and quality offshore style live bait hooks.
The San Diego will be fishing offshore everyday through Sunday May 12th! No passports required!
