Book excerpt: Embarking on New Fishing Adventures is a book written by H. Thomas Smith in 2020 while living in San Diego, California, and published in 2020. San Diego is a warm place to begin. Its claim to fishing fame is the "long-range" fleet. These are huge, modern fishing platforms with accommodations comparable to cruise ships. They take passengers down the Pacific coast of Baja, Mexico, on trips of three to twenty-eight days, to battle huge Yellowfin tuna, Wahoo, Dorado, Yellowtail, Marlin, and a varied variety of other gamefish. Many fishing styles are employed on these memorable trips, including trolling, live-bait and chunk-bait fishing at anchor, run-and-shoot jig fishing on free-floating kelp patties, and inshore fishing near kelp forests and boiler rocks. Harbors and bays are fun places to fish from shore, piers, and skiff boats. The best way to approach these fisheries is to visit one of the local tackle/bait shops, buy some bait and tackle, and ask many questions. Knowledgeable local anglers also frequent these shops and exchange information that will help you find the best spots and know how to work them. Always go with local info.
