Trip 53 – Denio’s 40th B-Day Bash Update

November 22nd, 2024|Categories: Trip Reports|

Good evening,

Epic day out here at Alijos! Hammering 70-90lb yellowfin tuna all day long, with some beastly yellowtail and a token wahoo. We’re going to camp out for the night and see what the dark hours have in store. Weather has been beautiful all week long.

If you haven’t already, make sure to check out our 2025 schedule and come fish with us next year.

Trip 53 – Denio’s 40th B-Day Bash! 8-Day, Nov. 19-27

November 21st, 2024|Categories: Trip Reports|

Good evening,

Tuesday morning we left the dock on our last fishing trip of the 2024, Denio’s 40th Birthday Bash! We’re out on an 8-Day Ultra Limited Load, running from Tuesday, November 19th to Wednesday, November 27th. Yesterday afternoon we got down to the tuna zone around 3 PM and were able to stop on fish. Shortly after arriving we scratched some 40-70 pounds yellowfin and a couple bluefin ranging from 100-160 pounds before the sun went down. Later, we spent a good portion of the night driving around picking at 80-180 pound bluefin on jigs in the dark before stopping for a few hours to let everyone get some rest.

Today, we spent the morning looking for more yellowfin and were able to pick up a handful before pointing the boat south. With some beautiful trophy fish in the hold, we will be traveling the rest of the day and tonight to put us in position for tomorrow to target yellowtail and more yellowfin.
