Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail, Dorado and Rockfish Await You!
Our offshore fishing scene is heating up with the promise of exciting catches and unforgettable experiences. Right now, the waters are teeming with some of the most sought-after species: bluefin tuna, yellowtail, dorado (mahi mahi) and rockfish. There’s something for everyone in these abundant waters.

Bluefin Tuna: The Ultimate Challenge
For many, bluefin tuna is the ultimate prize. Known for their incredible speed, strength, and size, these fish offer a thrilling challenge. Right now, this species is everywhere, aggressively feeding on baitfish and offering many opportunities to hook a giant.

Yellowtail: A Favorite Among Anglers
These fast, hard-fighting fish are a favorite and can be found schooling around kelp paddies, reefs, and offshore banks, making them relatively accessible to anglers. Their powerful runs and acrobatic fights make every catch memorable, and their delicious fillets make them a top choice for the table.

Dorado (Mahi Mahi): A Spectacular Sight
Dorado is adding to the excitement. These vibrant, acrobatic fish are known for their striking colors and high-flying battles. They’re often found around floating debris, such as kelp paddies, and can turn a day of fishing into a spectacular event. Dorado are aggressive feeders, often striking trolled lures or live baits with gusto.

Rockfish: The Reliable Bottom Dwellers
Don’t forget about the rockfish lurking down below the surface. These bottom-dwellers are hungry and ready to bite. Rockfish are less elusive than their surface-dwelling counterparts, making them an excellent target for those looking to fill their coolers. These fish offer consistent action throughout the day.

Summary
With bluefin tuna, yellowtail, dorado and rockfish all actively feeding, now is the perfect time to hit the water. Whether you’re targeting the surface or dropping for rockfish, there’s no shortage of action. Grab your gear, head out to the water and experience the thrill of California’s offshore fishing at its best! If you have not done so already, be sure to join our tournament to show off your catches.
