Wide open bluefin!
8-16-2025
James McDaniels
29 anglers, overnight private charter: 58 Bluefin Tuna (limits) Great day with great people!
Tomorrow we will be at the Coronado Islands to see if we can get into some more of those nice big yellowtail. We will also be monitoring the zone where we were today and determine if full day offshore trips are a possibility in the near future. Things like weather, range, time of bite, etc all factor into the decision. For now the destination is Coronados Islands but thats a fluid situation and the possibility of offshore or offshore/islands combo trips always exist with tuna this close to home.
Spots available after the weekend! Definite go all week!
Tackle recommendation:
30lb flyline rod, a 40-50lb yo-yo rod and a jig stick. Remember to have fresh line on your reels and a pocket full of 1/0- 2/0 hooks. 6 oz torpedo sinkers and several yo-yo jigs like Salas 6x jr or equivalent. We also recommend having some circle hooks and fluorocarbon with the Bluefin around as well.
Full day Coronado Islands trips will be departing seven days a week. Departures are at 5:30 AM, check-in begins at 4:45 AM. Passports are required. Bunks are available and free of charge, please provide your own bedding if needed. No fuel surcharge.
Our trips include Mexican Visa’s but do not include fishing licenses. If you have an annual Mexican permit please bring it and you will not be required to purchase any additional licenses.
