The long-running Southern California fish-report service 976-TUNA posted multiple daily trip logs and nearshore counts covering mid-February 2026, with entries dated through Feb 15, Feb 16, Feb 17, Feb 18, Feb 19 and Feb 20. The sequence of logs arrived from 976-TUNA’s network of operators and landing reports, creating a continuous snapshot of nearshore effort and landings across the region during that six-day window.

Most entries in the Feb 15–20 package emphasized nearshore species and dayboat activity rather than offshore tuna runs. Each daily count centered on inshore landings, the kind of short-trip logs that captains and party-boat operators file with 976-TUNA to update catch tallies, trip lengths and pier-to-reef performance for Southern California anglers. The outcome is a run of trip-level detail that readers use to read trends from the surfline to the kelp edges.

976-TUNA’s network of operators supplied the logs and landing reports that populated the mid-February rollup, and the timing of posts, multiple updates per day across the Feb 15–20 range, gave coastal anglers near real-time visibility on what boats were finding inside the 30-fathom line. That concentrated nearshore focus means the Feb 15–20 logs were most useful to skiff and daggler crews, pier anglers and overnight rockfish boats looking for current day-to-day changes rather than long-term tuna migration signals.

Because the service updated counts every day through Feb 20, the sequence offers a clear frame for comparing Feb 15 vs Feb 20 conditions for anyone tracking short-term shifts in landings and trip frequency. For readers who follow 976-TUNA regularly, the Feb 15–20 entries provide a short, specific run of reporting that complements the service’s longer-term records for Southern California waters.

The archive of Feb 15–20 trip logs now sits with 976-TUNA’s ongoing feed of reports, and the concentrated nearshore counts from those dates will inform operators and anglers planning trips in the immediate aftermath of Feb 20. For captains and party-boat managers who rely on daily landing reports, the mid-February sequence is a timely data set to reference when setting bait, choosing start times, and assigning crew for short, nearshore trips.
