New on the blog: why I built Catch Cards.
That’s my yellowtail off the Horizon, June 8th. I know the date and vessel because it’s on the card. Otherwise I’d be guessing and I already am on my PB Vermillion from last summer.
The photo always survives. The boat and the date don’t. That’s the whole problem.

Yellowtail are the fish that built the SoCal fleet-hard-running, structure-hugging, and smart enough to make you earn every one.
Three techniques cover almost every situation:
Surface iron when they’re boiling on top. Yo-yo iron when they’re marked deep. Fly-lined bait when they’re scattered or picky.
One setup, swap the jig, bring a backup, and land the ones you hook before they bury you in the kelp.

This week felt different.
Bluefin numbers climbed hard across Southern California, with 878 bluefin landed over the last 3 days across 16 landings. Pacific Queen put 168 tuna on the deck in one trip, while multiple San Diego boats continued to stack fish on overnight and multi-day runs.
At the same time, rockfish kept producing volume across the fleet — more than 6,900 landed this week for anglers who wanted action closer to home.
The patterns are there heading into the weekend.

SoCal sportfishing — Mon through Thursday recap
The fleet put up real numbers this week. 15 landings reporting, 1,577 anglers Monday through Thursday, 10,549 fish landed.
The trip of the week came out of Channel Islands Sportfishing — the Mirage took 17 anglers overnight and brought home 340 fish. Rockfish and whitefish dominated, with lingcod and calico bass mixed in. 20 fish per angler is a number you don't see often.
Wednesday May 6 was the standout day at the dock — Channel Islands Sportfishing alone reported 1,035 fish across 70 anglers. Mixed bag with everything from rockfish to white seabass.
Bluefin held strong all week for the SD fleet. H&M Landing put up 176 BFT on Monday alone. Seaforth backed it with 138 the same day, then another 96 on Wednesday.
Yellowtail showing up too — the Grande and San Diego both reported solid numbers from Coronados runs Sunday, and Pursuit out of 22nd Street put 11 in the box on a Full Day. Mixed bag potential is there.
Half-day and 3/4-day boats produced — Stardust, Coral Sea, Speed Twin, Freelance all averaged 13+ fish per angler on Wednesday. Plenty of options if multi-day bluefin trips aren't on the radar yet.
Same fish, same boats this weekend.

You don't need a multi-day trip to crush fish this weekend. 👀🎣
Rockfish boats are stacking 500-600+ fish on half-day and 3/4-day trips right now.
Offshore bluefin is still happening on the longer trips, but this weekend's story is how much action you can get without going far.
Short trips. Big counts. Reel action😉
