Red Tide San Francisco

Red Tide Rattles San Francisco Bay

Thousands of dead fish washed up along the shores of San Francisco Bay, victims of a red tide algal bloom. Rotting fish lined the water’s edge in parts of San Francisco, Oakland, and San Jose. The bay is home to species such as striped bass, largemouth bass, rainbow trout, Chinook salmon, and sturgeon. Experts think it will get worse before it gets better.

Mullet Run Lures

Prep for Mullet Madness

Anglers who chase the annual mullet run, when huge schools of cigar-shaped baitfish migrate along the coast, learn to track the movements and recognize the many different sizes, colors and behaviors of the little fish. You better have these top baitfish lures ready to go when the mullet come to town.

Permit Records

Can YOU Beat a 60-Pound Permit?

Catching a permit of any size is one heck of a fight. Now imagine landing a 40-, 50- or 60-pounder! Play your cards right, and you might be able to break one of these active world records. Good luck topping the 60-pounder caught off Brazil in 2004 — that thing was the size of a car hood.

Bluefin Tuna

From Stellwagen Bank to a Japanese Market in 24 Hours

The bluefin tuna took them two miles from their starting point before they could get it close enough to harpoon. Then, they had to get the fish in the boat and back to port quickly to process the giant tuna. In total, 513 pounds of tuna were headed on a flight from Logan International Airport to Tokyo.

NJ Tripletail

Tripletail Caught off Jersey Lobster Pot, Far Outside Range

Warm water trends over the past 12 years in the New York and New Jersey bight have brought all sorts of “new” southern species to the waters including tarpon, cobia, red drum and Spanish mackerel. Add tripletail to the list, after angler Steve Coponi nabbed one 20 miles off the New Jersey coast.
