K&M welcomes the Los Angeles Rod & Reel Club to San Quintin Baja and club members Cathy Lee Needleman, John Ballotti and Joel Steinman got to see firsthand just what San Quintin has to offer Offshore and Inshore as the 3 fished hard for 3 days of Tuna-Yellowtail and Calico Bass!  There were some great moments with personal best catches of Calico, with Bass weighing in from 6 to 9.2 lbs!!!   We had Wide Open yellowtail at the 6 fathom on a flat beautifull day, we caught yellowfin on live bait at the 240 while fishing yellowtail. 

When the water here in San Quintin gets this warm (74) .....everything is real close to home ....Bluefin and Yellowfin just 12 miles from harbour, Dorado just outside the highspots, lots of yellowtail on the reefs too !

 tournament this past Laborday weekend. 
Fishing has been exellent so far this Sept with Bluefin tuna, Yellowfin tuna, Dorado, Yellowtail, Whiteseabass all on the menu!  
Water temps have been in the 70s and the fish are very close in with some 30-40 lbs bluefin just outside the 240 and 6 fathom.    Inshore there are lots of Yellowtail on the reefs and of course Whiteseabass along the coast.
On Saturday we had 2 Bluefin, 4 Yellowfin and 2 Yellowtail before running for the scales for the weigh-in.  We decided to take it easy and fish inshore
on Sunday and got Whiteseabass,Calicos,Sandbass and Rockfish.

Summer Yellowtail out at San Martin Island have been the mainstay this last couple weeks as the whiteseabass seemed to slow a bit due to colder water on the south coast seabass grounds. But warmer water hanging around Isla San Martin made for some fun yellowtail fishing with lots of other species to be caught as well.  Yellows have been on Live-bait, iron and also on trolled rapalas.  Theres alot of barracuda in the mix and some Exellent Calico bass fishing right now as well.  Baitfish have been thick out on weather side of Isla so theres bee alot of action back there.  Bait has been slow in the bay but very good out at island with lots of spanish and greenback macks.
Bluefin !   The bluefin have been sitting about 30 miles out but have been tough to find and slow to bite but the paddys can be very good with a mix of tuna, yellowtail and dorado as we enter September. 

Diving-Spearfishing  has been good for yellowtail and a few whiteseabass
 as well as lots of huge calicos. Theres also alot of
 

John Gligo (with yellowtail) and buddy Greg Wheeler of San Clemente Ca  fished aboard K&Ms 23 Parker with Capt. George "Bird" Catian.  Greg got this big baja croaker on
 a slow trolled spoon.   The guys fished 4 days total and had big seabass down south,  yellowtail at San Martin island as well as lingcod, reds and other good eating bottom fish.  The guys made a run offshore but didnt find anything on the few paddys they hit, water was still a bit cool (mid/low 60s)   we had a bit of wind that may have rolled it a bit.

Yellowtail he got while slow-trolling live bait at Bens Rock.   Martyn Mayhead holds a 240 yellow taken on
live bait as well.
Things are heating up quick, yellows starting to chew and theres sardine in the bay and squid out at the island.
Water was 64-65  and seas were calm with mix S/W swell.

Its the time of year when our surface temps start to rise into the 60s, yellowtail and whiteseabass start to feed up top and large schools of yellowtail migrate into the area from offshore to feed on bait around San Quintins many offshore reefs and highspots.
Calico Bass fishing at Isla San Martin can be exellent during these months as well.   Rockfish like the big vermillion rockcod and large lingcod are abundant this time of year as well and many fisherman come just for the exellent bottom fishing.

Heavy Irons work best cranked hard and fast off the bottom. Live bait such as greenback mackerel and spanish macks works great when available.  Theres great bottom fishing right now as well as Calic/Sand Bass
