Fishing Coronado Islands, On the Daiwa Pacific, June 10, 2023

I managed to jump on a Western Outdoor News and JRI sponsored charter on the Daiwa Pacific, fishing overnight to the Coronado Islands. Thanks to the crew and captain of the Daiwa Pacific out of H&M Landing in San Diego, California for making this trip an enjoyable one. Also thanks to Western Outdoor News journalist Rachel Von Fleck, and JRI lures for organizing this trip.
Finally, thank you Subscribers and Watchers for all your support and comments!

That is the absolute best riding boat in the entire fleet.

Nice day! Thanks for posting!

[@fishermen22]

Thanks for watching! I had a blast! I miss the Coronados. I had many fond memories of those islands.

[@THETERPZ]

Such a old school boat.

I’m going out on the grande on July 3rd, it’s posted as islands trip, hoping it stays that way. I would rather have my line in the water fishing at the islands rather than having a chance and could possibly drive around all day offshore. How was the barracuda and bass at the islands?

[@fishermen22]

By buddy Brian is the same way. The San Diego canceled our Coronado trip for two years in a row. That's why we booked this trip.
The barracuda and bass bite is good at the islands. We got a couple of barracuda in the lee of the South and they were logs. Good luck on your trip! Thanks for watching!

I was on the San Diego June 10th. Boat got skunked.

[@fishermen22]

Oh wow, I guess you have to pay your dues. I’ve done that on many tuna trips. That’s why I prefer trips inshore to the islands. Way more action and beautiful scenery. Thanks for watching!

I like the won lady she kicked everybody's ass

[@fishermen22]

Yes, Rachel is awesome! She made our trip a wonderful experience!

[@BrandensOutdoorChannel]

That's Rachel!

What size circle hooks where you using

[@fishermen22]

Size 2/0 for the dropper and 2 for fly line. Thanks for watching!

Why did you throw that Ling back? So tasty. Fry it up in batter who cares about parasites if it’s cooked.

[@fishermen22]

Yes, true but I’ve been traumatized by ling’s parasites. One time I looked in the mouth of one and saw three isopods staring back at me eeewwww. Makes me cringe just thinking about it!😂

[@taylorfallen4322]

Yellows and all the other fish have way more worms then lings do

[@fishermen22]

I’m not talking worms Dude, I’m talking ISOPODS! I’ve seen a lings’ mouth full of them! Never again ewwwww! Thanks for watching!

[@taylorfallen4322]

@@fishermen22 your not eating the mouth and yellows are covered in worms way worse actually can live in you that’s why you freeze pelagic fish before eating raw or cooking

[@johnkouson1798]

Why would you spent the money for overnight trip to Coronado Island when is so close to landing?

[@fishermen22]

Well, Western Outdoor News set up the trip like that. We ended up getting there at 2 and just sit there until gray light. It was advertised as a jig fishing trip. I still had a great time. Thanks for watching!
