Good water conditions brought in skipjack tuna action, and the Halibut Derby got off to a strong start at Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching.

In his weekly report, Captain Brian Woolley said that the clean water, downhill current and 67-68 temperatures opened up some spots for skipjack tuna in the middle of the week. It hasn’t been the strongest year for tuna fishing, so the jump up in skipjack was welcomed.

The fleet also pulled in a good number of bonito and rockfish.

In the Halibut Derby, the first drift trip of the season brought a strong early leader with a 25-pound catch by Cher Owens of Laguna Niguel. There are already 15 entries on the leaderboard with five catches over 10 lbs.

You can keep track of the Halibut Derby and get more info on the November to March event at www.danawharf.com/halibut-derby.
