Baja Deep Sea Fishing

Most of the experienced fishermen consider the waters off the San Diego coast and south to Baja as among the best in the world for deep-sea fishing. Each summer, the warm waters in this region attract a huge number and assortment of fish. During this time, if you venture out 4 to 12 miles offshore, the variety of fishes you can find here include calico bass, sand bass, white sea bass, barracuda, mackerel and dorado. If you still go ahead to around 50 to 75 miles you would be able to spot albacore, bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, big eye tuna, skipjack and yellowtail. That means, the Baja deep sea fishing provides innumerable options to everyone.

In Baja, the deeper you go for fishing, the bigger you can expect your prized trophy to be. In the deep sea waters of Baja, the typical tuna or yellowtail weigh around 15 to 30 pounds, but there are certain incidents where the fishermen have caught 300-pound giants as well. To talk about the records, a 388-pound giant yellowfin tuna was caught back in 1977 off the San Diego coast, making an "all tackle world record" that still holds today.
