Southern California Fish Counts Are Looking Up

Fishing reports and counts are getting better and better with a nice mix of the exotics moving in. This Southern California sportfishing season is looking to be an epic one, let’s hope it holds up. While the fish reports below are from only a segment of the San Diego Sporfishing fleet it’s indicative of what the rest of the fleet is doing as well.

Fish reports coming in from Orange and L.A. Counties are reporting a few tuna being caught between Catalina and Clemente Islands and many Yellowtail around.

Pacific Queen Sportfishing called in at 2pm with 23 Yellowtail, 6 Dorado and 5 Bluefin Tuna. Islander Charters, Inc. called in with 72 Dorado, 46 Yellowtail, 3 Bluefin and 1 Yellowfin. Apollo Charters called in with 43 Dorado, 18 Yellowtail and 2 Bluefin Tuna.

With these counts being up like this it can only mean the sportboats will likely be crowded. Please remember to be respectful of you fellow anglers and work with them instead of against them. No angles no tangles, over and under on the rail and no elbows.

Pacific Queen just called in with a WIDE OPEN Bluefin and Yellowfin tuna bite. In the last 45 minutes they have put 95 Bluefin and 5 Yellowfin on the boat and Captain Bill said the bite is still going strong. This already adds to their 15 Dorado and 4 Yellowtail in 1.5 day range!
