What Lives at the Coronados
Yellowtail are the flagship species – they stack around the kelp and rocky structure throughout the season and will absolutely punish tackle that isn’t up to the task.
Yellowtail
Calico Bass
Sand Bass
White Sea Bass
Bonito
Lingcod
Calico bass and sand bass are abundant and provide consistent action when the yellowtail bite is off. During warmer water years, bluefin and yellowfin tuna push in close to the islands and create some of the most exciting fishing in the area. Pacific bonito, white seabass, and lingcod round out the species mix.
Year round fishing destination.
The Coronados hold fish year-round. The mix of species shifts with season and water temperature, but there’s always something biting at the islands.
Two Ways to Fish the Coronado Islands
3/4 Day Trip
9 hours, 6:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
The most efficient version of the trip – you run down, work multiple spots around the islands, and get back before dinner. Nine hours gives your captain enough time to find where the fish are holding and adjust as conditions change throughout the day.
Full Day
12 hours, 6:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Extended time at the islands to work them properly. If the yellowtail are stacked on a particular piece of structure, 12 hours means you can grind it out without the pressure of needing to leave early. This is also the format for days when the fish are spread out and require more movement to find.
International destination – bring valid identification and be aware of any documentation requirements for Mexican waters.
Boats and Equipment

Oversized Bait Tanks
Extra Cooler Space
Oversized bait tanks keep your live bait in prime condition. Three to five scoop bait capacity means you’re not running thin on ammunition when the fish show up. Your catch gets iced immediately – extra cooler space is standard on every boat.
Safety standards above the USCG minimum
Safety above USCG minimums: commercial life jackets, radar, three VHF radios, including an emergency handheld, and an EPIRB on every trip.
