OFFSHORE MEXICO
The outer banks or bust!
The outer banks far offshore Baja Mexico's coast are teeming with pelagic fish long before San Diego even gets a whiff. If you want to go in May, June, or even early July, heading south is almost always the call. Once the Bluefin cross the border they will be under heavy boat pressure and your chances drop. It is best to beat that pressure by going sooner, and going further south. The optimal duration for this trip is 2.5 to 4 days and you will head as far as 300 miles due south.If you go south, and the tuna are not there, you can go to plan B and chase Dorado, Yellowtail, Sea Bass, and an amazing variety of bottom fish including giant rockfish and huge Ling Cod. You will surely not come home empty handed, with so many species to chase, and plenty of time to do it.

SPEED & RANGE - The number one reason to choose a six-pack fishing boat is that they go fast. We are talking a cruising speed of 15 knots and flank speed of 21+ knots (for when you need to haul ass three miles to hop on your buddies radio call-in). What this translates too, is more fishing time, and less travel time. Or… even better yet, the same travel time, and extended range. Either way, you win by having more time with your hook in the water. HEADCOUNT - When you hop on one of the open party boats out of Point Loma or Mission Bay, you can expect to be joined by up to 20-60 of your closest friends, shoulder to shoulder for the rest of the day. Not so on a six-pack fishing boat, it’s only you and
