Pablo Fernandez
Game Plans for Private Boaters
Running your own boat out of SoCal? Pablo Fernandez breaks down the bite for private boaters — exactly where to go, how to set up, and when to pull the trigger. Pablo has decades on the water out of Mission Bay chasing bluefin, yellowfin, yellowtail, dorado, white seabass, halibut, calicos, ling cod, rock cod and lobster in season. If you want to stop guessing and start catching, this is the guy to call.
Specific zones, banks, kelp lines and structure that are producing right now.
Bait, jigs, leader sizes, presentation and the technique that's working on the target species.
Tide, moon, current and time-of-day windows that line up with the bite.
A Boston Whaler 285 Conquest with twin Honda BF 250s, a tuna tower, 70-gallon midship bait tank with a 34-gallon auxiliary, full head, shower, galley, and a 300+ mile range. Stable, fast and built for comfort — sweet spot is four anglers, capacity is six.
