Trip #4 July 16-19 (3 day) Poseidon Fishing Adventures
Good evening anglers,
No morning report today because we had a very tough morning on bluefin that just wouldn’t bite. We made a 20 mile move and it paid off. We were rewarded with an impressive showing of 150lb bluefin! We got here late and managed to boat a handful of fish.
We were getting bit on the sinker rig, Colt snipers and the frozen flyers on the kite. We will be right here in the morning. Wish us luck!

Trip #4 July 16-19 (3 day) Poseidon Fishing Adventures
Good evening anglers,
We had a great start to our 3-day trip here with Poseidon Fishing Adventures. We got on the fish a bit late but still managed to score some bluefin and yellowfin late today. The yellowfin were 20-45lbs and the bluefin were 25-90lbs, and most of them were 50-70lbs. We suffered quite a few casualties. The go-to seemed to be the lures. Especially something heavy and shiny. Young angler Kessler caught his first bluefin hooked on a 10 oz rock cod lure I dug out of the tackle box this afternoon (see below). There’s a tackle tip!

Trip #3 July 9-12 (3 day) Seeker Rods
Good morning anglers,
We stayed in the same zone this morning since we had such good fishing yesterda. We spent a lot of time looking at non-biting bluefin and yellowfin tuna. We did scratch some up, along with some dorado. We will be working up the rest of our afternoon looking for kelps.

Good afternoon anglers,
We’re having a blast this morning out here! We’ve had good mixed fishing on yellowfin, bluefin, dorado, and yellowtail. There’s an incredible amount of fish in this area. We’re pretty busy at the moment, but we’ll check back later with a full report.

Good evening anglers,
We had a great day down here! We looked at lots of bluefin this afternoon that didn’t bite, though we managed to boat a few more. We loaded up on dorado and scratched away on 20-25lb yellowfin. It was non-stop action from sun up to sun down here. And we captured these fish every way imaginable.

Trip #3 July 9-12 (3 day) Seeker Rods
Good Evening anglers,
We departed on our annual July Seeker 3-day trip this morning with a nice load of bait. This afternoon we stumbled upon some large schools of mostly 50-70lb bluefin. They were in the non-biting mode however. We managed a few bites, but only landed one 30# bluefin. We’ll check back in the morning.
