Seaforth Fishing Report San Diego

Went out )

The mighty Chief fished Collonett Saturday on a 1-1/2 day Dan Hernandez TV show trip and landed 250 mixed fish. We started the morning out fishing the North end of the bank in 60 fathoms and had some number of good drifts on the 15 to 25lb Yellowtail with most fish on the yoyo irons but 30 were dropper loop rigs with live Sardine. In the afternoon we focused on bottom fish to round out the TV show. The big fish honors went to Dan Hernandez with a Yellowtail tipping the scales at 34 pounds and our trip total was 62 Yellowtail, 1 Bonito and 184 assorted rock cod. This was a real fun trip and if you could like to join us on an open party 1-1/2 day trip give H&M landing a call at 619 222-1144 or just book online at. (hmlanding.com)

Since my report is about yesterday’s fishing, April 1, I have be aware of that this is the real deal and not an April Fool’s gag. About the only thing one could say as a joke is that the fishing went stone cold and the water is going to be freezing. Although I do not think many could purchase that. So, here is my cat’s birthday fish count. Yup, true that, too. It was my cat’s birthday and she got some new fish and some Panque con Nuez. (sandiegoreader.com)

Is just setting out onto the ocean. Onboard, passengers armed with rods and reels watch the coast shrink as they make their way to Point Loma and the La Jolla kelp beds in search of yellowtail, barracuda, and other fish who have late curfews. Joining them the whole way is Seaforth Sportfishing’s crew, who help beginners set up their equipment and give more experienced anglers info and pointers. And for those who’ve caught their bound or are waiting for a bite, the galley stands prepared, serving up cheeseburgers and sodas or beers for them to sip while they watch the last color fade from the sky and the stars come out.

Went out the SAND WITCH owned and operated by Captain Greg Noonan out of Mission Bay. It was a FABULOUS day. We were out on the ‘sunrise Patrol:’ for 4 hours and left the harbor sighting big seals, then pelicans and sea birds. We cruised along on the beautiful blue Pacific coastline. We snagged a yellowtail and took unbelievable pictures. We saw submarines, the America Cup Sailboat and lots of blue sky and perfect weather. On our way back to the dock we came across a school of dolphins. They were playing with our ship and riding the waves behind, cutting across our bow like playful kids. (blog.sandiego.org)

The calendar is prepared to turn the page and enter into 2016 and that means that the great 2015 Southern California saltwater fishing season has come to a close. 2015 was a great year that provided excellent fishing for big bluefin tuna with lots of yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, dorado and striped marlin. The 2015 fishing season also amazed anglers in action on species rarely seen in Southern California waters like blue marlin, black marlin and wahoo. The 2016 fishing season has a big task ahead in trying to go with or surpass what happened in 2015. The great news is that with El Nino temperate water conditions forecasted to extend into 2016 anything could happen and we could see fishing that equates or surpasses what we had in 2015.

I was already planning to come to San Diego midweek, however I was wanting to see what was going on 3/4. By the time I got down there Wednesday, the 3/4 counts were all about lots usually limitations of paddy yellows and maybe a few of tuna and/or dorado. Judging from the lack of pictures, my guess was that all the yellows were of the smaller, under 10 lb. Range. By Thursday morning, the wind was kicking up and my friend John and I made the call to go half day instead. It turned out to be a good call. (socalsalty.wordpress.com)

Is 75 large 24-foot beam. Her galley sits 36 passengers with another 20 on the sundeck. The Montes bait capacity of 60 scoops will generally ensure lots of live bait for your fishing needs. Because the Monte Carlos run to pick up bait is shorter than any other half day ship in the Los Angeles/Long Beach Harbor, you may be guaranteed of more fishing time. We’re centrally located so we can fish from Rocky Point to Huntington Beach Flats also as the famous Horseshoe Kelp. Catches may include, Calico, Sandbass, Barracuda, Yellowtail, also as an variety of bottom fish. (unitedanglers.com)

Giant squid: Giant squid ranging from 20-0 to 35-0 continue to be landed from San Diego to Oceanside. Squid jigs or white iron dropped to the bottom then wound quickly to the ship was best tactic. Ship captains are recommending that anglers fish with 30- or 40-pound-test line and wear ponchos to protect clothing from flying ink when a gaffed squid is brought aboard. Last Thursday, 51 anglers aboard a twilight trip on the New Seaforth, Seaforth Sportfishing, San Diego, landed 290 squid from 15-0 to 30-0. (squidfish.net)
