Many thanks to all those who offered advice for offshore fishing in SoCal. I promised photos and a brief report. The boat anchored off Coronado Islands in Mexico on Tues night and spent a couple hours fishing for sculpin. We caught 4-5 in a coule hours then hit the bunks. I only slept a few hours then couldn't wait and got up to fish a little before light. About 7 am we moved a bit closer to the islands and began fishing for tuna. We had 4-5 hook ups and landed one. The seals and birds were such a nuisance. We lost one tuna to a seal right at the boat. We never really found the ticket for tuna but we did get into some nice rock cod and rock fish. Everyone caught fish. We landed 1 shark, sand dab, 2 tuna, 6 cormorants, 1 seagull, and lots of rock fish. We returned to dock at about 7 pm. It was a great trip and great weather.
