New Offshore Fly Fishing Tournaments for San Diego

June 8, 2009 By: Marshall Cutchin

Two new tournaments out of Mission Bay, California, will send anglers offshore after species common to southern California this summer. The June 27th “3Bs Tournament” is a catch-photograph-release event focused on kelp bass, bonito, and barracuda. The August 8th “TYD Tournament” is a team competition targeting tuna, pacific yellowtail, and dolphin. Both contests require IGFA-compliant fly tackle only, and are believed to be the first events of their kind to be held on the West Coast. More info at the Beyond the Breakwater Web site.
