Trip Reports

Hello all,

We left today on our second annual all-ladies trip! (Sponsored by XtraTuf, Seeker , Pelagic, Turners, Izorline, Costa Del Mar.) We stopped to fish this afternoon and we ALREADY have a bluefin tuna aboard with a few yellowtail as well. Sophia Huynh from Seeker hooked this bluefin tuna for Jacqie Cox of Ventura and crewman Mike assisted. We are definitely off to a good start.

More later,

Howdy anglers,

We’ve had steady action all day here catching some nice-grade tuna and having a good time on deck. We’re headed home and the weather is great. 

Kim Burkhart and I posed for a photo together with his nice catch from today.

Howdy anglers,

We’re enjoying steady action today on nice-grade yellowtail and a few yellowfin tuna. Fly lining a sardine with 30-pound and a 2/0 hook was the best method. Here is a sample of the fish caught today by Garrett S. The weather is nice and it looks to stay nice all day.

Congratulations to the jackpot winner for the 1.5 day Jerome’s Charter!

1. Kerry Marley, 12.2# dorado.

Hello anglers:
We’ve had a lot of fun on deck today with some of Jerome’s finest sales staff on board–many of them novice anglers! We found a kelp paddie in the tuna and dorado zone, and found lots of action for the group. We took a quick group photo after we stopped fishing to get the fish cold in the refrigerated saltwater fish hold.

Way to go, Jerome’s lady anglers! We’re hoping to find the kelp for a second stop.
