Watch: Wild Weather, Tuna and More Great Fishing

The San Diego tuna bite has been about as consistent as the stock market lately. One moment up and then down again.

Sportfishers continue to fish near the floating tuna pens being towed in the waters off Baja California Norte. There has been everything from mediocre fishing to excellent fishing for bluefin tuna in the 12-40 lb. range.

Light line has given anglers a big advantage when fishing for tuna, 15-lb test with a 20-lb. fluorocarbon leader and a good lively bait results in lots more hook-ups. There have also been some big schools of yellowfin and bluefin tuna 150 miles southwest of San Diego. Whether this body of fish will move up is still up in the air at this point.

The Central Coast is making some tuna new too as albacore are starting to bite there again. Morro Bay and surrounding areas are starting to catch a few more of the longfin tuna. Albacore all but missed Southern California anglers this year so many are anxious to see a run of the prized tuna no matter where they show up.

Some excellent surf fishing has still the rule from the Mexican border to the Channel Islands. Corbina, barred perch, halibut as well as some leopard sharks have also been in the mix.
