Tuna are biting again...
ALBIES
The first wave of local tuna has moved on, the next body of albi has move in to the Northern Baja Coast. Lower 500, 238,295 has had good fishing for the last week. Scattered jig stop around the Hidden Bank with the best area just above the 238. The late afternoons have been the best bites,so leave late and fish into the dark.
A good plan would be fish into the dark and slide into the Hotel Coral for the night and work up swell in the morning to miss the afternoon breeze. The weather has been up on the outside and afternoons can be a challenge for smaller boats running up the line.
There is a nice temp break SW of the 371 that is developing and already has produced some smaller BFT. Watch this area closely as it may "Bite"soon.
182 US waters still has some Tuna but overall the area is slow as the water has rolled over green from the wind of last week.
Tip: one way to tell if the water is dirty or clean when it is overcast or foggy is to watch the prop wash/foam trail coming off you boat. Dirty water will leave a long foam trail behind the boat and clean water the trail disappears very quickly.
More and more Marlin are being spotted daily. 371, outside the Coronado's, 181 and the 152. If the tuna are not biting might try keeping a mackerel ready.
You never know..
Good Fishing!!
