Exciting San Diego Fishing: Tuna, Dorado, Bluefin Fun | S8:E7 Local Knowledge Fishing Show

With the drastic changes in the Southern California fishery over the past several years, it has been easy to get fixated on targeting large Bluefin tuna and going all out on what many have coined "big fish" fishing. On this episode Ali and Rush take advantage of the many other opportunities this time of year has to offer and switch focus back to the basics, targeting smaller yellowfin, bluefin, and mahi on bait.

[@goatram1]

This year. A washi googan wants to fish there in the Miss Eliza. Trailer the boat down I5. July for the bigger tuna.

[@LocalKnowledge]

Do it!

[@robertgangi5041]

Ali: "We are not good at fishing!" Been there brother. LMAO

[@LocalKnowledge]

Seems like we live "there" haha

[@Nick_Ramirez89]

Honestly it's cool to see Captain Rush throw the Conventional. I remember in the earlier seasons he mentioned that the spinning gear was all he knew. I was the same way but i had to put away the spinning gear and now i refuse to leave the dock without my Penn Fathom.

[@LocalKnowledge]

We are teaching him! He actually uses a lot of conventional gear for bottom fishing but not really for casting.

[@TomMendoladrums]

Your channel was recommended to me by a friend who mates on a boat up in Oxnard. For the past few years I have been watching I have learned from and enjoyed the videos. You two make it look easy because you both long time pros. Thanks for the content.

[@LocalKnowledge]

Glad you enjoy!

[@waltermalzahn5064]

Late summer and fall has been a blast on the water in 2023. You guys set the bar when it comes to having fun on the water.

[@LocalKnowledge]

Thanks. We really love what we do.

[@rogbass]

Just casually. HAMMERING the tuna!!!!!Lol. Excellent angling as usual.

[@LocalKnowledge]

SO fun!

[@DiabetoDan]

Awesome stuff, love smaller tunas on lighter tackle. Not from socal but I did some research on Opah fishing for a piece I wrote earlier this year. Sounds like they're mostly an incidental bonus fish, but I read about a few Cali guys who target them with vertical jigs below kelp paddies that hold dorado and small tuna. Y'all ever heard of anything like that? They're a really cool species, and apparently delicious.

[@LocalKnowledge]

Absolutely. We have been trying to catch them under kelp, tuna schools and while swordfishing. It's a little skill and a whole lot of luck. Hasn't happened yet.

[@DiabetoDan]

@@LocalKnowledge gotcha. Always interesting to stay in touch with a fishery while it's developing! One of the coolest species out there. Hope y'all get one.

[@getitdone6694]

Where do you guys fish by San Diego or further north?

[@LocalKnowledge]

About 100 miles in any direction of san diego.

[@paulmorgan5425]

I once saw a guy on an SD charter boat, his T shirt said "The key to catching fish is fishing where the fish are". @@LocalKnowledge

[@paulmorgan5425]

That would make a great Fish Dope T Shirt slogan.
