The Thunderbird out of Davey’s is a good boat for San Clemente trips too. They have done pretty good the past few seasons.
Yup, I learned that some of the boats you mentioned won't stop to fill the bag but keep chasing the bigger fish. IMO i'd rather come home with a few fish for tacos than an empty bag. Don't get me wrong i'm sure that when they find the right school they kill it. My luck hasn't been that good so now I think about what boat i'm jumping on. So in Point Loma they target smaller fish for tacos.. im there!!Another option is 3/4 day local on the Point Loma $135 limited to 18 people my kid cooks and decks on there. They fish local and you will catch something. The islands boats Liberty, San Diego, Grande, and Mission Belle are all great choices but they will likely chase yellowtail or tuna given the opportunity is available and will likely only fish for other fish if the game fish aren’t around. My 2 cents
What does "if you hook a yellow YOU ARE DONE" mean?Go up to dana point or Newport and get on one of the boats fishing the island (San Clemente) you will board the night before and catch all the rockfish you want and perhaps get a shot at some Yellowtail. No passport needed. IMO the half day out of SD or any place is a waste of a good BDAY.
If you manage to get your PP go with any full day out of SD.
Give us a heads up on witch you decide. maybe we can pull something together. I like birthdays and fishing and have a shit load of loaner gear.
Oh and keep this in mind, if you hook a yellow YOU ARE DONE, Ching $$$ Ching!
If you hook into a real nice grade of YT you are in for a nice fight.What does "if you hook a yellow YOU ARE DONE" mean?
YOUR HOOKED FOR LIFE!!!What does "if you hook a yellow YOU ARE DONE" mean?
That too.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and then some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.YOUR HOOKED FOR LIFE!!!
And it's going to get expensive.
Ya I don’t know how we ever caught fish before fluorocarbon. Talk about $$$$$That too.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and then some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
I wanna go... Straight smoke Ande for this guy. Ed F
Just to be clear the boat Point Loma fishes local kelp beds on their normal run not the Coronado islands the Mission belle does the Coronado’s.Yup, I learned that some of the boats you mentioned won't stop to fill the bag but keep chasing the bigger fish.

Yea I agree I would rather come home with a cooler full of rockfish for tacos and sandos..I'm looking at a dana point 3/4..they offer a nice variety off species and don't need my passport. Still going to get one because I'd love to hit down south and the Coronado Islands still.Yup, I learned that some of the boats you mentioned won't stop to fill the bag but keep chasing the bigger fish.
