Coral Sea Sportfishing Fish Report 10-17-07


10-17-2007

Well, we've left San Diego and returned to Oxnard where we will be running fishing trips and marine laboratory trips out of Channel Island Sportfishing.

The Tuna season out of San Diego this year was only so-so. We had some very good trips, especially on the multi-day trips. We also had some rather poor fishing. The Albacore were spotty and the autumn Dorado and Yellowfin didn't really kick off except for 1.5 day trips and longer. I guess that's why it's not called catching.

We try hard to put fish on the boat on every trip. We hope you enjoyed yourselves and we look forward to seeing you again out of San Diego next year.

Right now these fish are about 100 miles out, around the Cortez bank. That makes it hard for the over night boats to reach them but it's no problem for multi-day trips. Our other boat, the Ranger 85, came back to the dock this morning with...... Read More
