Trip #7 May 31 – June 4, 2024
Good evening,
Today we went down to the beach and explored a new area. This morning, we saw a school of 25lb fish and had a brief opportunity with the sardines. Despite scouring the area, we didn’t see any other schools. We spent the day working our way up and found some nice schools on kelps, but they weren’t biting very well. This evening, we headed west and spotted some good schools of big fish, managing to get a few shots. Hopefully, we can keep scratching away tonight. The conditions are tough, though—it’s quite choppy.

Hello Anglers,
We had some good opportunities last night with 40-80 lb. fish throughout the night. We’re also seeing promising signs this afternoon, and it seems like things might be on the upswing.

Trip #4 May 21-24
Hello Anglers,
After a long day of stopping on large sized schools with little to no reaction we were able to locate some biting fish after the sun went down. The fish grade ranged from 30- 200 pounds with the majority being 120-200. Although not wide open by any means a well-placed jig and a little luck resulted in some trophy fish for our anglers.

Trip #3 May 17-19 Kyle Landford Charter
Good Afternoon Anglers!
Kyle Landford’s Charter set out on Friday afternoon, eager for some action. After a long night with no schools in sight, we finally spotted one at 5 a.m. There had been promising opportunities before we arrived, and we encountered several good schools throughout the night. It was all about being in the right place at the right time. Just before sunrise, we had an excellent chance and landed a 100-pounder.

Tackle Tip Thursday Vol. 233 (Drop-shot Rig)
Happy Tackle Tip Thursday!
Steve Carson, pro-staffer with Penn Fishing, showcases a good outfit to have and a technique to become familiar with before targeting bigger-size bluefin tuna.
This requires an angler to select and use an outfit with heavy line, and a circle hook and sinker to reach fish when at depth and when live bait is working best.
Thank you to Steve for his time and experience in all things having to do with saltwater angling and Penn Fishing Tackle!
