Hey all,
I was planning to o my first ever overnight charter boat out of Point Loma this upcoming Tuesday evening to Wednesday night, but now I see that the hurricane off he coast may be making landfall over the weekend. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on how this will affect the prospective trip for me?

It is my first time doing anything more than a 1/2 day, so I am willing to wait if this may make the conditions unfavorable for fishing.

Related, but does anyone have any thoughts for how long this fishing boom from El Nino may last? I really want to catch my first yellowtail, tuna, etc before it ends! Thanks!

I have been going on 1.5 to 2 day trips every 2 weeks for the last 2 months. The hurricane if any effect will hurt where you fish or cancel trip. But an overnight trip should not be bad. It usually only hurts boats going way out west, you should be fine. The boats will know where to go based on the weather that day. What boat are you going on?

Everyday on YouTube Friedman Adventures gives an update on weather and what each boat will be targeting. Also the landings will have tons of information too
