WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Cortez Bank, approximately 100 miles offshore from San Diego, is one of the most remote and spectacular offshore fishing destinations in California, where the massive submerged ridge - with its shallowest point just 4 feet below the surface - concentrates yellowtail, bluefin tuna, white seabass, rockfish, and bonito around an offshore ecosystem of extraordinary diversity and productivity. Spot Features: Cortez Bank is a vast submerged reef system approximately 100 miles west-southwest of San Diego in federal waters, one of the most remote and productive offshore fishing grounds in the Pacific, known for its exceptional kelp bass, white seabass, yellowtail, rockfish, and during warm-water years, world-class bluefin tuna fishing around this massive offshore structure. Seasonality: Yellowtail, bluefin tuna, and white seabass are the primary targets at Cortez Bank approximately 100 miles west of San Diego, California, year-round, with yellowtail most active in spring through fall and bluefin tuna most abundant in summer. White seabass and rockfish are year-round bottom and mid-water species. Bonito are warm-season schooling fish.
