The Emerson Street Report

Sportfishing since 1935

Heading out with Captain Peyton Freeman and the awesome crew of the Malihini out of H&M Landing in San Diego for a classic fall 3/4-day run!

We headed straight for the kelp line targeting lively Calico bass, Sand bass, Barracuda, and scanning for that mixed-in Yellowtail and White Seabass bite. Thanks to lingering warm water conditions, the shallow kelp bite has stayed solid well into October.

Crew Lineup:
Captain / Wheelhouse: Peyton Freeman
Deck Crew: Emily & Nate
Galley: Trey

Captain's Tackle & Rigging Breakdown for Fall Kelp Trips:
• Line Class: 20 lb – 25 lb test fluoro/mono is the sweet spot.
• Terminal Tackle: Assorted hook sizes for both live anchovies and sardines.
• Weights: 1/4 oz to 3/4 oz slider sinkers for shallow drift/kelp work; 4 oz to 8 oz torpedo sinkers for structure down to 200 ft.
• Lures: For the 1/2 to full days, Leave the heavy iron at home—lightweight jigs like the 60g Shimano Coltsniper have been the hot ticket.

Trip Details:
Boat: Malihini
Landing: H&M Landing, San Diego, California
Schedule: 3/4 Day (Departs 7:30 AM, returns ~5:00 PM – 5:30 PM)

"Yeah, let's go fishing!" — George set the tone right out of the gate, and this overnight trip aboard the Producer out of H&M Landing turned out to be an absolute trip for the books!

We kicked things off loading up on small anchovies at the barge before heading offshore. Once we hit the grounds, it turned into an all-out aquarium-style feeding frenzy. The bullet tuna were so aggressive they were literally hitting bare hooks.

By the end of the trip, the numbers were unreal:

200+ Bullet Tuna landed (and countless more released)

100 Yellowfin Tuna

10 Skipjack Tuna

7 Yellowtail

1 Dorado

1 Pilot Fish

Question for the community:
When the bullet tuna and small fish take over the chum slick like this, what are your best rigging tricks or tactics to punch through the frenzy and reach the bigger Yellowfin, Dorado, and Yellowtail hanging below? Drop your tips in the comments!

Massive thank you to Captains Frank, Armando, and the entire crew on the Producer for an unforgettable run. Can't wait to see everyone back out on the rail soon!

Anyone who fishes offshore knows the real work happens before the deck goes chaotic. Meet James, one of the skilled deckhands aboard the Producer (also a licensed captain).

From managing live bait in the tanks to spotting signs of life on the water and rigging the troll pattern, here is a behind-the-scenes look at the preparation it takes to put anglers on fish.
