Greetings fellow MBMC members….as always, I hope this message finds you well.
Before jumping in, I wanted to just let you all know in case you’ve missed it, fishing has been phenomenal throughout the Southern California region. Reports of tonnage of Bluefin Tuna in as close as the 270 off Mission Bay, all the way up past Catalina Island. Same story goes for quality grade Dorado and Yellowtail and a nice mix of Yellowfin Tuna. I also heard chatter of a Wahoo taken last week. Amazing fishing…..get out there!
Congrats to member Lou Hayden for his July FOM win with a 104 lb BFT. Well done Lou!
I want to welcome these new and returning members….best of luck to you all this year:
- Jeff Kaiser – Drew Ann, 21′ Grady White
- Ron Reece – Hustler, 23′ Maritime
- Waynne Yasuda – Encounter, 36′ Pacifica
