Aug 11 (Aug 10-12) 2-day
Good morning,
We had a few shots on these big bluefin last night. Not as easy to get a bite as it has been the past few days but we were able to get some bites and boat some trophies. The sun just came up and they’re back to their old selves again. So we’re going to spend some time fishing yellowtail.

Good morning,
We looked at at these big bluefin all day yesterday and never got a bite, even though there was good sign throughout the day. Then the sun went down and we made them pay. We had good opportunities throughout the night.
Our best time was from 9-11 pm where we had 2-5 going for a few hours. After that we got a few more shots on the lures. Then sun came up now and everyone went to bed so we’re going to make a move and see if we can’t find a kelp or some other tuna to fish this afternoon.

Good evening,
We traveled most of the day and saw lots of kelps with non-biting dorado. We did scrape up a few. We got into the local zone and found a good sign of 25-40# mixed yellowfin and bluefin. They reacted very well but didn’t stick to the boat . Every time we stopped, we hooked a few. Beautiful fish. We ended the trip right where we started, at the islands fishing yellowtail.

Good morning guys,
We got on scene around midnight and felt like we might have been late to the party, but we got some good opportunities on 100-200# fish. We managed to land a handful and we had some heartbreaks too.
We saw fish all night and there was a little opportunity throughout the night. Around 4 am we got on a biting school of 25-40# fish and went to work. We’re seeing good sign this morning also.

Good evening,
We scratched all day today and caught fish on almost all the kelps we stopped on. We worked up to the northwest this afternoon and started seeing sign of 30-50# bluefin jumping around. We got one school to stick to the boat and boated one. We also had one on a kelp late in the day. We’re still rolling northwest and are going to try get on some fish to bite a flat fall tonight.

Good evening,
We spent our first afternoon at the Coronados fishing yellowtail. We had some action late in the day on 10-18#fish. We’re going to head offshore tomorrow and see how the weather is. We want to thank Izorline, Calstar Rods and Tady Lures for great sponsorship of this trip. All off these came in handy this afternoon with yellowtail fishing. We caught some on the Tady Lures which were given away at the start of the trip. We caught one on the Calstar rod which was raffled off to a lucky angler, and of course all were caught on line provided by Izorline!

We had a bit of a bumpy ride last night crossing over to the beach. It did, however, put us in a good position to do some rock codding this morning before we called it a trip. Good fishing on big reds. Rolling up the line now and pointed at the dock!
