What is a multi day charter?
Multi-day party fishing is a captivating fishing adventure that takes place primarily in the prolific fishing zones of San Diego and adjacent Mexican waters. This type of excursion is scheduled during the peak season from the early summer months to fall, when a wide variety of exotic game fish make their seasonal migration northwards, traveling past the Mexican border into the accessible regions for local fleets. The most favorable fishing spots are usually situated between 30 and 200 miles offshore, close to the Baja coastline and around the outer banks. These trips provide anglers with the opportunity to embark on fishing journeys that typically last anywhere from one night to several days, specifically up to three or four days. During these expeditions, fishermen get the chance to target some of the largest and most thrilling species of fish this region has to offer, experiencing the pinnacle of Southern California sportfishing. This option is ideal for those eager to experience an extensive and immersive fishing adventure, maximizing their time on the water and increasing their odds of catching prize-worthy fish.
what species will we be targeting on a multi day summer trip?
On a multi-day trip with www.sandiegotunafishing.com, you have the opportunity to target several highly sought-after game fish, including bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, dorado (also known as mahi-mahi), and yellowtail. Here's a more detailed breakdown of these exciting species:
Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus orientalis): Bluefin tuna are revered by anglers worldwide for their incredible strength, speed, and size. The Pacific bluefin tuna is the species commonly found in the waters off San Diego. They can grow to enormous sizes, with some individuals reaching weights of over 1,000 pounds. Bluefin tuna are powerful fighters and provide an unforgettable fishing experience.
Yellowfin Tuna (Thunnus albacares): Yellowfin tuna are abundant in the waters off Southern California. They are known for their bright yellow fins and sleek, streamlined bodies. Yellowfin tuna are aggressive feeders and put up a strong, fast-paced fight when hooked. They can grow to impressive sizes, with larger individuals weighing over 200 pounds.
Dorado (Coryphaena hippurus): Dorado, or mahi-mahi, are colorful and highly prized game fish. They are known for their vibrant hues of green, blue, and gold. Dorado are excellent fighters, often leaping out of the water during the fight. They are considered a delicacy for their firm, flavorful meat. Dorado are typically found in warmer waters and are a common catch during the summer months.
Yellowtail (Seriola lalandi): Yellowtail are members of the jack family and are highly prized by anglers for their speed, strength, and excellent table fare. They get their name from their distinctive bright yellow tail fins. Yellowtail can be found in schools and often put up a vigorous fight, making them a favorite among anglers. They are commonly caught in the 20-40 pound range, but larger specimens exceeding 50 pounds are also possible.
The specific species you target during your multi-day trip will depend on factors such as the time of year, ocean conditions, and the migration patterns of the fish. The experienced captains and crew of www.sandiegotunafishing.com will use their expertise to put you on the best bite and maximize your chances of success.
Although smaller than the Bluefin, this ferocious fish puts up a fight you will not soon forget.
This is the big one. If you hook up on this you will be in the fight of your life. These fish way hundreds of pounds!
Not technically a tuna, but in the same weight class, it is known for the best tasting sashimi on earth.
On Multiday trips we will always be specifically targeting bluefin and yellowfin tuna. Also, in the general area there will also be Dorado and Yellowtail on almost every patty you come across. If we see this we will stop and throw lighter tackle at it. However, for TUNA fishing, all equipment on the boat will be geared toward 200lb+ max fish size, and you very well may find it on this trip. The boat will also be equipped with species specific bait, the frozen flying fish. In addition to these prized catches, multi-day charters in the Mexico offer an exciting opportunity to reel in a variety of other species.
Basically, the further south you go, the longer you can extend the fishing season. If you are willing to head far south into Mexican waters, you can fish all the way into December. The never ending summer, just head further south.

get your priorties strait before you go.
Planning your priorities for a multi-day fishing trip involves setting clear goals and making strategic decisions based on your preferences and objectives. To start, consider the variety of habitats and species available on the trip and create a schedule that allows you to target different types of fishing opportunities each day.
For example, you may choose to focus on trolling for medium size yellowtail and bluefin, to bring in the pounds on the first day, and focus on Kite fishing with frozen flying fish for the TROPHY on the second day.
Additionally, think about your ultimate fishing goals - whether you are primarily interested in catching specific species for a feast or if you are more focused on landing a monster-sized fish. What lures the captain puts, and the destination chosen, and methods used, can definitely be aimed at catching MORE or BIGGER.
Understanding your priorities will help you optimize your time on the water and ensure you make the most out of the experience. While it's important to have a well-thought-out plan, it's also essential to remain flexible, especially when dealing with unpredictable factors like weather conditions. Being adaptable with your schedule and willing to adjust based on the circumstances will ultimately enhance your overall fishing trip experience.

Kite Fishing:
By deploying live or dead baits using kites, anglers can present their offerings above the surface while drifting over underwater structure or schools of feeding fish. This technique increases the chances of attracting trophy tuna and other pelagic predators.
Yo-Yo Ironing (aka The Flat Fall):
Utilizing metal jigs called "iron" allows anglers to cover water quickly while maintaining contact with bottom structure. This method often results in exciting strikes from aggressive fish.
Throwing Iron
Top water iron that is thrown off the bow of the boat, while still far off, to nab the first fish and start the frenzy.
Live Bait Drift Fishing:
Deploying live baitfish, such as sardines or anchovies, is particularly effective for enticing large yellowtail and dorado. This tactic involves drifting over known feeding areas, allowing natural bait movement to trigger bites.
Slow Trolling:
For targeting migratory species like bluefin tuna, slow trolling with lures or live bait can be highly effective. Patience is required, but the payoff can be well worth the wait.
