Offshore 8/25 - 8/26 late report, yellowfin and mahi

[Big_Tuna_]

Late report but maybe it will help someone going out tomorrow. Friend in town he fished hard Thursday and Friday. Thursday morning fished Coronado islands for calico, barracuda, bonito and a yellowtail that got off. Slowed trolled crappy bait. We left the islands heading west a bit and found scales in water, shearwaters chilling, next marks on sonar so we stopped and soaked some baits. 2 yft later we go home. I heard yft and bft were in this zone again on Friday. Not sure about Saturday
.

Next day (friday) kelp paddy search. Couldn't find many!!! Finally found one south of 425 for wide open dorado!!!! Easily got MX limits. Got called in on a yellowfin bite 10 miles west so we joined a massive fleet soaked some baits and got a nice yft.

Over and out. Good luck tomorrow.

Beautiful fish, way to go!!!

BUT BUT BUT I thought they said don't 'fish for boats' and 'chase the fleet'? HAHAHA I guess joining the fleet paid off!! Contrary to what all the experts try to teach me
