H&M Landing Tackle Shop Manager, Nate Patolai provides fishing tips for catching Yellowtail onboard the Grande at the world-famous "Rockpile" near the Coronado Islands, Mexico.
Fishing the legendary Rockpile has its tricks. #shorts
Join H&M Landing Tackle Shop Manager, Nate Patolai, and his buddy Tim as they step aboard the legendary 88-foot sportfisher, The Grande, for a Wednesday morning full-day out of San Diego. Captain Tyler Winslow sets the initial sights offshore for Yellowfin, Bluefin, and Dorado. But when heavy winds and rough chop shut down the pelagic bite, the crew executes a flawless backup plan, heading straight to the world-famous "Rockpile" near the Coronado Islands, Mexico. In this video, Nate breaks down the essential tactics for Southern California fishing, including: ✔️ Why matching your hook size (like Gamakatsu #2 or #4) to your live bait is critical. ✔️ The best artificial lures for a tough bite, featuring Daiwa Zakana casting jigs, SK Jigs, and clear poppers. ✔️ The legendary West Coast Surface Iron technique. Nate switches tactics midday based on conditions and began casting the iron to hook into a beautiful 20+ pound California Yellowtail! Really the only fish caught that day worth noting. It’s a tough day on the water, but a masterclass in adapting to the conditions. 🔔 Help us hit 10,000 Subscribers!

Rough Seas & Surface Irons: Yellowtail on The Grande!
Heading out of the San Diego bay is one of the best experiences an angler can have. This is just a few minutes of the sights and sounds on the Grande as we pulled out for a fun day of fishing the Pacific.
Heading out of H&M Landing on the Grande.
The Bait Barge in San Diego Bay (operated by Everingham Bros. Bait Co.) is an iconic part of the local fishing experience. The bait barge is essentially a floating drive-thru for live bait (like sardines and anchovies) anchored in the San Diego bay, and it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Sportfishing boats from H&M Landing stop at the bait barge on their way out to the ocean to fill up their massive bait holds for each specific trip. Boat at the landing include the cost of the bait into your ticket price. Whether you are on a half-day local trip or a multi-day offshore excursion, the live bait is always included in your fare. This video aired live early Wednesday morning, July 22, 2026. Showing the captain and crew of the Grande working seamlessly to fill the tanks for a full day.

You never know when you're going to run into the fish offshore, which is why having the right combo of jigs is key. Capt. Jake Hensley suggests packing "the kitchen sink" so you never miss a bite! Stop by H&M Landing Tackle before your trip. Our pro team talks directly to the captains of over 30 vessels to dial in exactly what gear is working right now.
