Good afternoon,

We’re getting some opportunity here on 100# bluefin. They’re biting a little bit, but we can’t get them in the boat. We see good sign of big fish and very little sign of smaller fish. We’re seeing a good sign of dorado on kelps as well.

Good evening,

We had a tough trip this weekend. We are dealing with fast-moving bluefin and choppy weather which made it difficult for us to get on some fish we could catch. We’ve been hard at work in tough conditions the last couple days.

We did some good sign last night and yesterday afternoon way out to the northwest but and had a small window of opportunity in poor weather conditions. We lost track of it though and never got back on them. Just scattered sign throughout the day.

Congrats to Peter Thiessen on his 90# bluefin!

Good afternoon,

We got a little shot at the big ones last night…they are 100+#. After about 11 p.m. the wind came up and they got harder to catch, so we threw in the towel. We’ve been anchored up, pickng away at mixed-grade bluefin and some nice yellowtail today. It’s breezy out here but we’re scratching up a nice day.

Good evening:

We traveled all night further west than we have been all year and got stopped on a big school of 100# bluefin in the gray and had a very good opportunity of landing a few. They were in the corner, biting. After that we saw good fish most of the day but couldn’t catch it. We’re still seeing that fish right now we’ll see how tonight goes.
