Our 2 day Empire Cat charter has enjoyed some good opportunities on day time Bluefin with this 192 # being a standout as well as a few nice yellowfin. No a bad way to take a break from building the border wall I'd say. Going forsure tomorrow on a light load 2.5. Really good sign of fish these last 2 days.

Can't go wrong with size #6 or #4. You just need to make sure the line isn't too light that the mackerel break them. You never know what size of bait you're going to find. Also bring some larger hooks for fishing mackerel. Depending on the brand of hooks and size of the mackerel we'd recommend a few options between 4/0 all the way up to 9/0. Really just Depends on the application.

Enjoying our first trip in San Diego so far. We brought the weather from the Channel Islands down with us unfortunately. Making the best of it while keeping everyone safe and happy. Plenty of fish around and just waiting for them to let their guard down.

With some incredible night time Bluefin fishing happening in our zone we will definitely be trying to capitalize on our multi-day trips out of . Please bring some kind of heavy night time outfit (80 # to 130 #) and some assorted jigs ranging from 200 to 400 grams. We will still be targeting seabass, halibut, and bottom fish in the day time just like normal but if the weather and conditions allow for it we will be targeting bluefin in the dark.
