Fall Tri-fecta?: Yellowfin at the Islands 9/24/22

...With Bluefin and Dorado in local waters, Yellowfin (499 area) are now, also in play. Dive ahead of the porpoise/dolphin pods for a chance at landing Yellowfin; then, chase tuna/Dorado the rest of the day.
...If the water stays above 68 degrees, the fish may linger as long as the massive bait schools stick around...
...Some of the paddies between Catalina and the mainland are holding nice size Dorado and still some breaking Bluefin in the area. Currently, the best shot for bluefin is the triangle between San Nic, Santa Barbara island, and Catalina's backside up near the 499 bank, on down to the Mackeral bank and onto the ridge below Catalina...More marlin and swordfish showing also. Two days ago, Bluefin were present above Catalina on the 172 and below near the 277 ridge area.
...Calculated "guessing" (using Tempbreak, chloro charts and sportboat locations) always helps to narrow down the search area as to where the gamefish will be tomorrow...Now, all we need is a good weather window without all the recent wind activity...big yellowtail near EEl point on the backside of Clemente island..
...Avalon harbor is still pretty full for this late in the year..suggest going early to grab a mooring spot, then, go diving. or, better still, stay up at Twin Harbors or Cat Harbor backside to be close to the fishing grounds...
