Oct 11 (Oct 7-14) 7 day Ultra Limited Load

October 10th, 2023|Categories: Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

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.

October 9th, 2023|Categories: Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

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 evening,
We had a nice day today.  Good yellowfin tuna fishing continued throughout the day and right until dark. We are starting to catch a few exotics (pargo) here late so everyone’s dropping down now. We’re camping out here tonight see what happens tomorrow.

Good evening,
Good biting yellowtail until about 2pm today on beautiful grade of 18-30#. It was very fun fishing and everyone got some today. We left around 3pm for The Ridge, and are hoping for some action on the yellowfin tomorrow morning.

Oct 2 (Sep 30-Oct 7) 7 day Seeker

October 2nd, 2023|Categories: Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good morning,
We departed Saturday on our annual Seeker-sponsored 7 day trip.  We had nice weather rolling down the past couple days.  Seeker pro-staffer, Kevin Boyle, raffled off a few of Seeker’s finest.
Last night we decided to put the brakes on after listening to the reports of yellowtail fishing down the beach. We stopped at the Natividad area this morning and it’s paying off. There’s a very good sign here this morning of 18-25# yellowtail. It’s been fun fishing here so far. We’re picking away on the yoyos and fly lined sardines.  Pretty good opportunity on the surface iron at times as well.
