Oct 16 (Oct 4-21) 7 day Ultra Limited Load

October 17th, 2023|Categories: Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good evening,  

We looked offshore all day after our yellowtail fishing this morning.  It paid off but not until the last couple hours of the day. We had excellent tuna fishing on 18-30lb fish, and they were biting in the corner. We had a couple more stops that we shut off, trying to save some tags for later.

On The Ridge tomorrow morning.

Good morning,

Very good yellowtail fishing this morning on our first stop of the day. They were biting any way you want and all you want. We left them biting.

We’re saving tags for later in the trip. And we are now on the hunt for something else.

Good evening:
We let the wind blow past last night and got up to Isla Natividad just after the sun came up. We had some good action until about lunchtime on larger-grade fish in the 18-25# range.  Yo-yo and fly-lined baits were the hot ticket. We did catch a few on the droppe- loop and the surface-iron too.  We’re headed up the beach again.
We are  going to stop and break up the ride and do some bottom fishing tomorrow morning.

Good evening:

We got up on the beach this morning to get out of the weather and had some excellent yellowtail action. It was full speed and any way you want to catch it. They are 10-18# fish, splashing around the boat. Anglers tagged as many as they wanted.

We saved some tags for tomorrow when we’re going to go further up the coast and try catch some bigger ones. We tucked into Bahia Asunción to get out of the wind for dinner, We’re going to try make some bait tonight and when it backs off and keep rolling up.

Good evening

We’ve been traveling for the past two days. and finally got down to The Ridge this afternoon and it paid off. We’ve had excellent fishing on good grade-yellowfin tuna innthe 20-40# range. They were boiling in the corner, biting lures and fly-lined sardines.

Some beautiful water has pushed in here and seems like there’s a little bit of wahoo that may be moving in as well. The water is 81 deg and blue. We’re camping out hoping for some action tomorrow morning before the wind comes up.

Good afternoon,
We had a nice finisher today. We fished up the beach this morning and early afternoon. There is still a good showing of this yellowtail and they’re still biting, as well as some ncie dorado mixed in. We called it a trip with a couple wells of nice fish.
It will be a travel day tomorrow. Special thanks to Seeker Rods and Seeker rep Kevin for the great giveaways.

Good morning,
 
The good times continue down here this morning with full-speed yellowfin tuna and dorado fishing on the anchor until we had enough. We stopped for some more pargo before taking off from the 13.
 
We’re headed offshore hoping to find a wahoo kelp.
