Offshore intel help

Description
Offshore intell is a tough thing to come by, however in the spirit of this website I’m sharing our thoughts for fishing on Sat. With the warm waters and few temp breaks the best bet is to look for water flows coming west from the canyons. They increase up welling on inshore structure and should push bait and hopefully hold fish. YFT have been hanging in the 35-40F areas and feeding on sandeels. Best to look for flow areas where the water from offshore is hitting that structure. Two areas look promising to explore which are highlighted. Not a sure bet, and by no means am I endorsing, just sharing thoughts. Has been our plan so far and we found life each time and managed a few. Good luck.

Fished NE of area #2 on Sat. Plenty of whales and dolphins and sandeels. Quite a few YFT between 30-70# caught, mostly on poppers and jigs working tight to the mammal life. A few also caught on the troll on wide tracker bars ans Shutes. We didn’t fare as well with only one knockdown and a miss on a jig. Reports from the canyons and Chicken were poor, but good mahi reports from guys working the pots at the Glory Hole.

Just got back from the west coast,stopped in a Newport beach tackle shop. Owner pulled out a chart to show me the hot tuna spots, and to your initial post, they were all structures where the offshore water comes crashing into them. They drop off so fast that they're fishing as close as 14 miles and "as far as 40 miles" off Catalina for tuna. :xxx: shame it's such a long plane ride
