Warmer waters are bringing in more variety for the bag. Spotted this guy on a shore dive, along with yellowtail, White Sea bass, Black Sea bass, and barracuda. No matter where you’re diving from the beach or a boat, get out there and dive.

Are he dodo's making a comeback this year?
out there verifying they are. Nice catch!
Few fish get my heart racing like a California yellowtail. On this dive, we were hunting an offshore pinnacle where the reef rises abruptly from deep blue water.
These areas are natural ambush points. Bait gathers over the structure, and yellowtail often cruise the edges or rise from the depths to investigate divers.
Instead of chasing fish, I positioned myself near the drop-off and throw a flasher to cast beams of light that attract the yellowtail. By staying relaxed, minimizing movement, and watching the blue water, wait to see any signs that the fish come into view. I pick up movement from a yellowtail, and release the flash so that I can open and close my hand to draw the curious yellowtail into a broadside shot.
One of the biggest mistakes divers make is getting excited and rushing the shot. Staying calm, anticipating the fish’s path, and waiting for a broadside opportunity usually results in a much better shot and a cleaner harvest.
There’s something special about staring into the deep blue, never knowing what might materialize out of the depths. Every drop holds the possibility of a trophy yellowtail—or something even bigger.

Some Mondays start with coffee. We decided to start yours with a yellowtail 👌
These TopoCarbon blades did exactly what they're supposed to do—quietly help get there and back without thinking twice about kicks.
The fish gets the spotlight. The gear just earns its place.

The weeks leading up to the tournament had everyone dreaming of bluefin. The fishing had been incredible, and I think just about every team launched expecting to come home with a tuna.
Mother Nature had other plans.
Sunday turned into the toughest day of the weekend, and the common phrase at weigh-in was, “We got our butts kicked.” Conditions were so rough that three top teams missed the weigh-in deadline, making their fish ineligible for scoring. While disappointing, they still spent an unforgettable weekend with friends and landed an impressive mix of tuna, yellowtail, halibut, and reef fish. At the end of the day, that’s what this sport is all about.
🏆 Congratulations to our winners!
