Sep 4 (Sep 5-9) Labor Day Special
Good afternoon,
We made a move last night and got into this local tuna grounds this morning, We didn’t see much until about 11am, but we’ve been drifting ever since. Very good fly line fishing today on mixed yellowfin bluefin 25-45lbs. We’re hoping we can stay drifting here. Gotta go!
Captain Mike and the boys
Great catch!
Good evening,
What a day! We had two stops on this beautiful grade of yellowfin/bluefin mix. On both stops we had 4-10 fish going and drifted for hours. Excellent sport fishing.
Fly lined 30 and 40 lb test was the best way to get a bite. Some guys were getting bites on the colt snipers and small flat falls as well. Grease calm weather and biting fish, what more could you ask for?

Sep 3 (Sep 2-5) Labor Day Special
Good morning,
We drove around most of the night and then around 2:30 a.m., we got on the right fish and they were biting a little. It’s a beautiful grade of bluefin, with yellowfin mixed in. The bluefin are 40-120# and the yellowfin are 30-50#. We were able to scratch until the sun came up.
We’re going to spend the morning looking for a dorado kelp.

WTG, Tommy!
Good evening,
We went kelping this afternoon. It was wide-open dorado fishing! One-stop shopping on a kelp here mid-day. We went back to last night’s location and see good sign of yellowfin and bluefin here this afternoon. We’ve caught a few and we’re gonna see what happens when the sun goes down.

Simpson family fishing time!
Sep 1 (Aug 31-Sep 2) 1.5 day Let’s Talk Hook-up
Good morning,
We had excellent fishing on 25-50# bluefin last night. We got on scene around 9pm and started seeing incredible sign right away. We ended up catching what we needed in a couple hours, including a few yellowfin mixed in. We’re sliding down the beach now looking for something else to catch. Very fun lure fishing!
Captain Mike and the boys
Father/son catching bluefin together!
Good evening,
We went looking down the beach today. We saw some sign of 10-30lb yellowfin tuna and we scratched a few up. It felt like we might have been on to something but never really saw any concentration of them. We had a few dorado and yellowtail in the mix as well. Beautiful weather.

Aug 30 (Aug 29-31) Turner’s Outdoorsman 1.5 Day
Good morning,
We started off this morning looking for kelps. We scratched up some mixed-grade dorado and smaller yellowfin until about lunch time. We got in an area just after lunch where we started seeing good sign of 25-50lb mixed yellowfin and bluefin. We started hooking fish in the first school we saw right away. However, they were a little bigger than we thought, with some 70-80lbers mixed in. Once we got it figured out we ended up putting a few on the boat and lost about a dozen. We’re going to see what the afternoon brings around here.

One of the boated beauties from the afternoon!
We scratched throughout the day, pretty tough getting a bite during the day in this area. But right before the sun went down they did bite a little bit. Then when the sun went down it was game on! We had one stop and filled out our limit of bluefin in about a hour.

Happy angler getting in on the evening action!
Aug 28 (Aug 26-29) Limited Load
Good Morning,
We had excellent bluefin fishing almost all night. We lost track of them for a few hours, but picked them back up around 4am. They are mostly 40-90# fish, quite a few 100#, some 180# and some smaller 30# mixed in. It was very rewarding fishing or those who stayed up all night.
We’re making a move to see if we can find some yellowfin to catch this afternoon.
Captain Mike and the boys
Hello anglers:
We got into the local zone after lunch and we started seeing a sign of smaller bluefin. We didn’t try them since we didn’t need anymore. We never saw any real sign of yellowfin this afternoon. We did scratch up a few dorado, before we called it a trip.

Aug 27 (Aug 26-29) Limited Load
Good morning,
We saw a little bit of 15-30lb bluefin/yellowfin in the dark last night and caught a couple handfulls. Not a whole lot of sign in the dark. At about 3am we threw in the towel and ran down to our marked kelp and it didn’t have much fish on it either. We scratched our way back up throughout the morning and ended up with a nice catch of mahis. Were making a move out west now to be in position for flat-fall fishing on bigger grade bluefin tonight.
Captain Mike and the boys
Great job, Stanley!
Good evening,
We got on scene just in time to stop on a school of 30-70# bluefin. There’s lots of fish around at the moment and we’re getting some bites, Hopefully this is a good sign for the night to come. Got to go!
