🔥 100lb+ Bluefin Tuna Lighting Up Northern California! Emeryville • Alameda • Santa Cruz 🎣 Northern California

bluefin tuna fishing is on fire right now. Over the past few days, several 100+ pound bluefin have been landed, and the action is spreading.

Recent hot spots & contacts:

• Santa Cruz area – Multiple reports of 100–200 lb class bluefin on the warm water breaks roughly 35 miles out (near the 601 buoy and similar structure).

Private boats are also scoring, and this is only part of the picture — more fish are being caught up and down the NorCal coast.

Quick tackle notes for these bigger NorCal bluefin:

Heavy gear is the name of the game. Most successful anglers are running 50-wide class reels, 80–130 lb leaders, and proven trolling lures (MadMac-style and similar). When the fish are up on bait, having a mix of jig sizes ready (similar to the SoCal night bite) can pay off. Lighter leaders on the smaller jigs help the lure work better.

This El Niño-influenced season continues to deliver surprises. If you’ve been waiting for a shot at a true 100+ pound bluefin without running all the way to San Diego, Northern California is giving people that chance right now.
