Tony Reyes Fishing Tours

05/31/2026

Hi Anglers. I have been out of town for a couple of weeks that's why there has been no fish report. Tony has been sending them to me, but I could not figure out how to get them from my cell phone to your e-mail. Old guy... The fish counts have been very very good with a Black Sea Bass over 300 lbs. being landed as well as several nice size Grouper. The Yellowtail continue to be on the large size for this time of year, and the Cabrilla bite is outstanding with good numbers of both being landed. Tony has been fishing San Franciscito area along with Las Animas and Partida. They had some wind the last day of this trip. The trip was led by Charter Master Vic Hollmann from Mesa, Arizona.

374 Yellowtail

182 Cabrilla

Limits of Bass

3 Pargo

13 Sheephead

2 Barred Pargo

4 Grouper

The 2027 schedule is on Tony's website now and there still are some openings for this year's season. Check out www.tonyreyes.com website for up-to-date schedules.

Tony returned from a very successful trip led by the "Let's Talk Hook Up " Brandon Hayward, creator of "The Bight Journal". They enjoyed good weather along with plenty of fish, several large Groupers and a good size Black Sea Bass. They landed 298 Yellowtails up to 26 Lbs. Cabrillas up to 28 Lbs. The catch also included Pargo's, Spotted Bass, Red Snappers, and Giant Squid. They fished Refugio, Snake Island, Salsipuedes, Barnabe Reef, Punta final and Enchanted Island. Tony says anglers need to be prepared for casting jigs, trolling, Jigging, some heavy-duty Grouper bait fishing and Squid jigging. Variety is the name of the game with The Tony Reyes boat being the only sport boat fishing from San Felipe now for the last 7 years. Previously, there were 5 boats going out weekly. The quantity and quality of the catch improve from year to year now reminding me of when I started fishing from San Felipe 45 years ago.
Tony is having many anglers cancel this year because of the Cartel violence in Mexico. Tony says "San Felipe is a quiet ,small fishing town ,120 miles from the border, with few problems. He says the violence is centered in Mexico mainland and in border towns for the most part. He understands people's concern and he wants to assure everyone that these trips are safe and secure.

best lures were Nomad 165. Yo-Zuri lures, and orange All the fish were caught by casting small jigs, and sometimes larger fish were caught trolling with mirror lures and NOMADS 165. There was also a little fishing on the bottom.
