Hello anglers:

That’s a wrap!

We finished up the trip with some nice-grade yellowtail in beautiful weather. Anglers tagged the rest of what they wanted and enjoyed the beautiful weather and sea state. 

See you next trip!

Hello anglers:

We made our way to the beach from Alijos Rocks last night and arrived a little offshore at daybreak. We looked for kelps for no success, and continued to fish some high spots along the beach. We managed some fun fishing at our first stop on some wonderful grade tuna and yellowtail. We made a couple drifts and continued up the coast.

As the sea state continued to decrease anglers got a break from the rocking and rolling the night before. Our last stop of the day was a lucrative one and anglers had fun fishing on all sorts of inshore species with plenty of yellowtail to go around. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and with the calm seas ,we plan to spend the night on the anchor and try again tomorrow.

Hello anglers:

We spent the night last night at Alijos Rocks in hopes that conditions would improve and improve they did. Shortly after trolling around for a while for ‘hoo, we stopped to put the anchor down and had some incredible fishing on 30-50 pound yellowfin tuna. Most anglers were able to tag what they wanted and many were giving away they fish. A

lthough we only managed one wahoo for the day, we had some opportunity on some amazing grade yellowtail. These 30-50 pound yellowtail were caught on all sorts of methods: yo-yo, flyline and dropper loop all worked. We tagged around 20 of those amazing specimens.

We are now headed in to fish the beach tomorrow to catch some more yellowtail and round out our trip.

Hello anglers:

We arrived at Alijos Rocks today around 9:30 and spent the day targeting wahoo and tuna. With lack of current and unwilling fish, we only managed 7 wahoo and about 20 tuna. We made the best of the less than perfect conditions and are going to spend tonight on the bank and try again tomorrow. With better weather in our future, we are hopeful for tomorrow.
