Ali and Rush fish the San Diego waters in search for floating piles of kelp (kelp paddy) that serve as structure for many bait fish and pelagic species such as tuna, dorado (dolphin) and yellowtail. These kelp paddy’s are an iconic staple of the California fishery and when you find them, the action can be impressive. Paddy Hopping mahi madness at it’s finest.
"You know the kelp paddy fishing is unique to the Pacific because we have the kelp."
Capt. Ali Hussainy
