UPDATE 2:20pm - The San Diego is now up to 7 Bluefin tuna, including a 130lb fish! The other 6 Bluefin are all about 70lbs! They still have a couple more hours to add to their count. The San Diego is a DEFINITE RUN for Friday May 10th!

12:45pm - Captain Ryan aboard the San Diego just called in with 3 Bluefin resting comfortably in their RSW, all around 70lbs, with a couple more fish still hanging! The bluefin are biting fly-lined baits very well today and are splashing all around the boat! Captain Ryan is hopeful for an epic afternoon bite!

Suggested tackle for this offshore bluefin fishing includes 40# and 50# line for fly-lining sardines, a heavy setup (60-80#) with a flat fall jig crimped on with fluorocarbon, and everything from a #2 to 2/0 sized hooks. We have experienced a number of tackle failures due to the size of the fish this past week, so be sure to come prepared with new line and quality offshore style live bait hooks.

The San Diego will be fishing offshore everyday through Sunday May 12th! No passports required!
