Southern California Bluefin

Night Bite for Bluefins

Over the past six years, bluefin tuna fishing has exploded off the coast of Southern California. Anglers fishing from private and party boats have landed fish weighing more than 300 pounds. With a steady supply of forage, and influxes of less-mature school tuna in the 40- to 80-pound range every season, bluefin numbers will remain strong as long as the food holds.

Cubera Snapper

That Snapper Looked Like A Bus

The shot, from about 12 feet away, found its mark. Connected to a line hooked to a buoy on the surface, the snapper got tangled in the rig, which was free-diver Braden Sherron’s hope. It gave him time to resurface, reload and return to dispatch the fish. He cut the lines and hauled the fish to the surface.

King Mackerel Fly

King Mackerel on Fly

Who doesn’t like a good, strong run out of a fish? I’m talking about a long, screaming, drag-smoking run. As you watch line melt off the reel, you’re thinking, “Is this thing going to spool me?” Most everyone I know, myself included, can appreciate that display of power.
