The Emerson Street Report

    There are few places where freedom feels more tangible than standing on the deck of a sportfishing boat at sunrise.

Cue the synth-pop and grab your neon windbreakers—welcome to Tackle Tips w/ Nate! Summer is officially here, and the San Diego offshore bite has totally transitioned. We are saying "sayonara" to the giant Bluefin and "hello" to some classic, sun-soaked kelp patty action. With warm water and righteous weather, it's the perfect time to jump on a Full Day, Overnight, or 1.5-Day trip for Yellowfin Tuna, Dorado, Yellowtail, and Skipjack. But listen up, dudes and dudettes: if you’re still rocking that heavy winter gear, you’re gonna get skunked. Your tackle needs a summer makeover! In this video, Nate breaks down exactly what you need in your tackle box to get bit when the daytime bite gets hot. Nate's Righteous Summer Tackle Breakdown: Line: Scale it down, bro! You want 20 to 25 lb fluorocarbon leader for live bait since these daytime fish can be pickier than a guy choosing his mullet style. For lures, you can bump up to 30 or 40 lb test, but make sure your reel has a free-spool smoother than a moonwalk so the lure drops fast. Hooks & Weights: The bait barges are wilder than a Van Halen concert right now. Bring tiny hooks (size 4 or even 6) for those microscopic pinhead anchovies, and pair them with a small rubber core or egg sinker (1/2 oz or less) to help that little bait swim away. Also, pack larger hooks (size 1/0 or 2/0) just in case the barge is handing out massive sardines! Lures: Match the hatch, man! The fish are feeding on tiny bait, so downsize your jigs. We recommend 20 to 40-gram jigs (30g is the absolute sweet spot), though you can go up to 60g if you really need to cut through.

Welcome aboard The Producer! Take a guided tour of this beautifully refurbished 65-foot Seaway sportfisher operating out of the historic H&M Landing in San Diego. Built in 1977, The Producer boasts a classic Seaway hull—a design famous across the West Coast for its heavy-duty construction and incredible stability in rough offshore waters. Proudly owned by the Brenha family for over two decades and operated by Frank Brenha and Armando Marquez, The Producer has seamlessly blended its rich history with state-of-the-art modern upgrades to become a premier choice for overnight and multi-day long-range trips. Boat Features & Upgrades: The Helm: Outfitted with the absolute best money can buy, including a brand new suite of Furuno electronics and a game-changing 3D side-scanning sonar. The Galley: Comfortably seats up to 24 anglers and features 4 TVs, custom artwork by renowned surfboard designer Michael Rumsey, and a classically trained chef serving up high-quality meals (yes, the breakfast burritos and cheeseburgers are next level!). Below Deck: A fully upgraded bunk room that comfortably sleeps 36. It features double-wide outboard bunks, new vinyl curtains, new flooring, ice-cold A/C, and hidden hull-strengthening reinforcements that eliminate the traditional "creaks" of a wooden boat. Bait & Fish Capacity: Massive bait capacity with three tanks holding over 100 scoops each, plus a 10-ton Refrigerated Sea Water (RSW) fish hold featuring freezing coils to keep your catch in sashimi-grade condition. The Power: Recently repowered with twin John Deere engines, offering a comfortable 10 to 11-knot cruising speed and massive fuel capacity for long runs down the Baja coast.
