Good morning anglers:      

We had a tough morning on the trophy-sized tuna but still managed to wrangle some past the sharks. There were many casualties. Here is John R with his prize after a tough battle.

Good afternoon anglers:

After battling with the sharks all morning we decided to try our luck at some of the school sized fish off the island.  We had a good showing and caught a few of them. After we got our fix of the smaller grade tuna, we looked at a new area and were greeted with some more nice 25-45lb yellowfin as well as a small sample of 25lb yellowtail.  That wraps up our time here at the Guadalupe Island. Tomorrow we will be looking for kelps on our way to Ensenada. Here is a sample of our catch this afternoon.

Dear anglers:

We have had a great morning on the 40-60lb class yellowfin tuna. They put on quite a show here early. We have definitely suffered a great number of casualties this morning but have boated our fair share of these beautiful fish. Here are Ashley and Ryan with a 60lber they tag teamed. (Editor’s note: Couples that fish together….have some good eating later!)

More from our afternoon’s efforts,

Good evening anglers,

We had very good action on school grade yellowfin tuna with some bigger ones in the mix this afternoon.  They put on quite the show! We have high hopes for what tomorrow will bring. We have great weather and hope for another shot at one of these trophy-sized yellowfin.  Here is Lew H. with a 70lb class yellowfin which he caught on a fly-lined sardine with 40lb test.

Good Afternoon anglers,

This morning we had some tough fishing at the island. but still managed to catch a few nice yellowfin tuna. The sharks were not kind to us, so we headed off the island a few miles and managed to put together a very nice catch.

Here is Dale B. with a 50lb class yellowfin he caught on the kite. We have beautiful weather and all day left to fish still.

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.
