BIG bluefin are back and biting. The Patriot crew says there have been excellent shots at 130 to 220 pound fish lately, and the anglers who commit to the big fish game plan are getting rewarded for it.

Right now 2 day and longer trips are the ticket for getting out to where these fish are. The crew is hoping that once the water cools off a bit, the bluefin circle back closer to home. The 2026 season is still going strong, with no end in sight.

The Patriot sails out of H&M Landing in San Diego. Check the trip calendar at hmlanding.com and grab a spot on the next multi day run.
