Trip #25 Ultra-limited load 7-day trip (Oct 5-12)

October 10th, 2019|Categories: Trip Reports|

Hello anglers,

We had some good opportunities in the last 2 hours of the day. Everyone ended up landing enough yellowfin tuna for the trip. Yellowfin catching has been great this trip.

 Here is Anne L. with a nice tuna with Capt Armando.

We are spending the night and trying for yellowtail tomorrow to finish the trip.

Trip #25 Ultra-limited load 7-day trip (Oct 5-12)

October 9th, 2019|Categories: Trip Reports|

Hello anglers:

We had good fishing today. Everyone had multiple chances at landing a nice yellowfin tuna. It took light line and small hooks to get a bite–30 pound line and a #2 hook with a fresh sardine was the method of choice. We had some losses that are associated with this size fish and lighter tackle but we had a good day anyway. Conditions were great, the weather was awesome. Here is Capt Art and Rick D with a nice tuna. And Matt R with a yellowtail.

Trip #25 Ultra-limited load 7-day trip (Oct 5-12)

Hello anglers,

We had steady action this afternoon after the current picked up. There was a very good sign of fish around us almost all day. A live sardine and 30-40 pound test with a # 2 J-hook was the preferred method. Here is Tanner S with a nice yellowfin tuna. We are staying in the same spot and trying again tomorrow. The weather is awesome with calm seas, light winds and it’s sunny!

Hello anglers,

We have had slow fishing so far, though we have seen fish all morning. If we will get some current this afternoon. we are hoping the fish will bite.

Here is Warren B with a 45 pound yellowfin tuna landed on 30 pound line and a live sardine.

Hello anglers,

We arrived at Guadalupe island this afternoon. We saw a good sign of fish at our first spot and had action on 30-50 pound yellowfin tuna. We landed a few, fed a few to the sharks and had the usual losses. Just about everyone got to fight a fish or two.

Here is Thom C and Justin with a nice one.

It was a nice afternoon with awesome weather and we are looking forward to having a full day tomorrow.

Trip #24: Ultra-limited load 6-day (Sept 29-Oct 5)

October 3rd, 2019|Categories: Trip Reports|

Good evening anglers,

We found an area of fish away from the sharks this afternoon, and were able to scratch up a few handfuls of these excellent 40-50lb yellowfin. Today was our last day in this zone.  Tomorrow we will be traveling up looking for kelps on our way home, hoping for a dorado or two.  Here is Bob with a 40lber he caught this afternoon on 40lb test and a flylined sardine.
