Yesterday's dock totals

The fishing has been wide open for the boats out of San Diego Landings this past week with many anglers getting limits of yellowfin tuna and dorado. 1/2 day boats are mostly fishing the kelp edges and flats for the usual rockfish, calico and sand bass. There are some bonito and barracuda around along with some good grade yellowtail to round out exceptional 1/2 day fishing. 3/4 day boats are ranging outside or down off the Coronado Islands for good counts on the yellowfin and dorado.
