Harvey Schroeder
Just a few yellowfin tuna for our efforts today, but everyone was pretty tired after the over-200 yellowtail day yesterday
anyway!
p.s. Harvey Schroeder just can't lose! He was on his free trip and then picked up this 26.4# yellowtail to win the jackpot as well!

Hello anglers,Our long run to San Benitos island paid off today...275 miles is a long way to go on a three- day trip, fortunately we have the capability to make that long run. You only get a half day fishing and thankfully we made the most of the time we had. We arrived around 130 pm and by 430 we had a limit of yellowtail It was great fishing and all methods were working. The primary method was flyline sardine on 30 or 40 pound mono. There were fish caught on the surface iron, yo-yo iron and a few on dropper-loops.
The grade of the fish was mixed with the average being 18 to 20 pounds. Everyone had a great time and plenty of fish. The weather is great and we are currently heading back up to the northwest to try for some yellowfin tuna offshore tomorrow.
More then,

Hello anglers,For our 1.5 day trip, we came 120 miles on reports of a few yellowtail on kelps and a few tuna on common dolphin. Unfortunately we didn't find any kelps and found no tuna on dolphin. We ended up going in to the coast to try for some rockfish and fish a little,instead of driving around all day for nothing.
We managed to catch around 80 rockfish, a mixture of red rock cod, ling cod, sheepshead and whitefish.
The weather is calm and I think everyone enjoyed a few hours of fishing.
The offshore scene is still unpredictable and so we are unsure of what we are doing next trip.
Stay tuned,

Offshore scene
Bill Roecker reports, "The big schools of yellowfin tuna that began arriving last Friday drew Art Taylor and his 16 Searcher three-day anglers to try fishing in a tongue of warm water below Ensenada.'It was clean and 67.5 degrees,' said Art, 'and we had jig strikes over a 45-mile stretch on mixed grade tuna and skipjack. We also got some fish on kelps and bird schools on the first day when it was calm. The good fishing extended from about 95 to 130 miles south.'
The trip was sponsored by Accurate, who sent Gary Gillingham along as chartermaster, with 12 sets of loaner rods and reels from the factory.
'They were BX-2 400 and 500 models,” he said. “We also gave away a BX-2 400.'"

Hello anglers,Well this is not exactly how we wanted to end the month of August. We fished the local area at 55 miles south of San Diego. Very tough fishing today with not much fish seen or caught by the fleet. We left last night with high hopes after the reports from the fleet yesterday. Average scores were 60 fish per boat.
Unfortunately for us today wasn't the same. We only landed 4 bluefin tuna and 1 yellowtaill today . The weather was great but it didnt' seem to help. We will take an E for effort today. go in tonight and regroup to get back out there tomorrow night.
More then,
