Trip 11: 6 day (Aug 10-16) Guadalupe Island

August 12th, 2019|Categories: Trip Reports|

Good evening anglers,

After two days of anticipation we arrived at Guadalupe Island.  We were greeted early with multiple jig strikes several miles short of the island.  When we finally arrived on scene around 3:30pm, we located some yellowfin tuna on the machines and promptly kicked the anchor over.  We managed to hook a few with the limited amount of time we had this afternoon. 

Here is Ashley M with a nice 56lb yellowfin tuna. 

We are going to stay here tonight and see what tomorrow has to offer.

Trip 9: 6-day (Jul 29-Aug 4) Izorline Open

August 3rd, 2019|Categories: Trip Reports|

Hello angers,

We had some more action on good-size tuna again today. The group was a little slow this morning after the last two days–they are tired! The participation was light at times but everyone had a chance to land a tuna. Here is Tom K with a nice fish from this afternoon.

We are headed north tonight with hopes of trying for a yellowtail on a kelp paddie tomorrow.

Trip 9: 6-day (Jul 29-Aug 4) Izorline Open

August 2nd, 2019|Categories: Trip Reports|

Hello anglers,

We had another great fishing day at Guadalupe Island today with plenty of action all day long. Lots of opportunities for a 50-75 pound yellowfin tuna. Live sardines with 40-50 pound line, fluorocarbon with a super mutu owner 2/0 circle hook continue to be the best choice for tackle.  Here is Norm Fujimoto with his son J.K from Izorline with a pair of nice tuna from earlier this afternoon. Norm’s other son Darren landed a couple of fish as well. 

We are spending the night and trying again tomorrow. It will be our final day here.
