Jul 23 (3 day) Limited Load
Good morning,
We are seeing kelps with good fish on them thought they are not biting that well. But we’re scratching pretty good and there are lots of kelps to stop on. We’re catching them on the flyline baits and the surface irons.
It was nice and calm this morning but the wind is starting to come up, so we’re going to start sliding into the east to find some kelps in better weather.

Good evening,
We ended up putting it together in the end of the day and ended on a high note. We found a couple good kelps late in the day and had some wide-open action on 8-20# yellowtail and some dorado mixed in.
We had much nicer weather into the east here in the evening. Fly lined baits on 40lb were the key to success late in the day.

Jul 22 (3 day) Limited load
Good morning,
We headed back to where we left off yesterday and arrived on scene around 2:30pm. The fish were in a different mode today and conditions looked a lot different. We got one bite and had one fish just before dark. We slid down the beach last night and are scratching at yellowtail and dorado at the moment. No big hit yet but we’ve scratched a few.

Good evening,
We scratched some fish in the morning and worked up to where we saw that sign of tuna yesterday. We saw the same sign and it acted a little better today. It was very close to being right.
We got a few bites and managed a couple bluefin and a yellowfin 25-50lbs. We’re going to try kelping again tomorrow in a different zone.

Good morning,
We’re seeing very good sign of mixed bluefin and yellowfin. At the moment they’re foaming and breezing around. We’re scratching a few on the light line at the moment but they aren’t biting great. These are 25-50# mixed fish. We hooked a few on the lures most of our bites have come on the bait though.
Captain Mike and the boys (and Christine)
Good evening,
We had some very good opportunities today on these mixed yellowfin and bluefin. They were biting pretty good this afternoon.
We started fishing light tackle (25# test) and were losing a whole bunch. Once we got everyone switched over ,we started putting them on the boat. Lots of bites, good fishing today. Flylined bait on 40# test was the go-to this afternoon.

Jul 19 (4 day) Accurate Fishing
Good morning
We started out at the Colonet shallow this morning and we saw a little bit of yellowtail jumping around but we never hooked any. We left around 9am and started working west to look for yellowfin. We found a kelp and loaded up on some more nice yellows and dorado. We’re back in the hunt for yellowfin tuna.
Captain Mike and the boys (and Christine)
Good evening,
We covered a lot of water today and found some yellowfin tuna however they were pretty small. We scraped up a few more nice yellows and dorado though. We’re going to try catch a bluefin tuna tomorrow.

Good morning,
We have been scratching on these premium-grade yellowtail all morning today. All of them have been associated with kelp patties. They are primarily 12-20#–a few smaller and a few bigger, but lots of fun this morning.
Captain Mike and the boys (and Christine)
Good evening,
We had a very fun day of fishing yellowtail and dorado on kelps today. We had action all day.
Beautiful weather and biting fish–what more could you ask for?
We’re going to slide down the beach and see if we can locate some yellowfin tuna and maybe some more dorado and yellowtail.

Jul 17 (July 17-21) Accurate Fishing Products
Good evening,
We departed on our annual 4-day Accurate Fishing sponsored trip this morning and started heading down the beach. Late in the afternoon today we started seeing large schools of big bluefin though the fish didn’t bite. We had one school that boiled up and we got one short bite.
We stopped on a few kelps with fish on them that didn’t really bite either but we managed one nice yellowtail and one nice dorado for our afternoon. We’re going to look around west of here tomorrow for a kelp.
