Trip 6- 2.5day (July 14-17)
Good evening anglers: Today we enjoyed some “reel” nice bluefin fishing with calm seas. This afternoon things changed a little..we are catching fish on the fly-line with 30# and 40# and 2/0 hooks. Quite a few also came on surface jigs and small Colt Snipers. It was a lot of fun!

Trip 6- 2.5day (July 14-17), day’s end
Good evening anglers:
This afternoon we finished up our yellowtail fishing with a bang with limits of fun in the sun and calm seas. The yellows were biting the fly-lined baits very well, most using 30 lb test and 2/0 hooks. Tomorrow we will try our hand at some bluefin fishing. Wish us good luck. Here is a shot of John Etheridge with a nice yellowtail.
