Captain Jeff Stock, of Stock Charters offered this San Diego area summary: "With all this "May Grey" and "June Gloom", the offshore temps are coming up very slowly. However they are coming up. The Rock Pile below the Coronados has slowed a little but is still a good bet for yellowtail. The most consistent yellowtail fishing is now the Middle Grounds of the Coronados. Yellowtail catches have been ranging from 8 - 25 lbs, and both areas have seen some good catches of bonito to 15 pounds as well."

"La Jolla has been great for barracuda and the occasional yellowtail. The yellows still seem to be concentrated on the outside of the point around the East Corner. The white seabass fishing has been slow, however, local divers keep seeing good-sized schools of big fish deep in the kelp. The barracuda are spread out everywhere, slashing at bait on the surface, and the bass in the kelp have been picking up big-time because the water temps are coming up."

"This is a great time of year to explore up and down the coast looking for bird schools. The patchy red tide seems to be disappearing and hopefully it's gone for the season."
