Good evening anglers:

We spent the rest of our day in search of anything that wanted to bite. We found a school of bluefin right at the end of the day that bit into the dark. Here are Tim and Ed with a pair of 40+ lb bluefin they landed in the dark.  

We’re heading back for a Sunday morning arrival at the dock. Back out on a 1.5 day trip

Good morning anglers,

We are seeing lots of yellowfin this morning, mostly on its own bait making it hard to get a bite. We found a nice sonar school at around 730 this morning and have been drifting with it for 3 hours now scratching up some quality fish. Getting a bite has been tough, 20lb test is the key. Weather’s great, hopefully they start biting a bit more.

Good evening anglers,

This afternoon we looked at a lot of large schools of yellowfin, but we had some trouble getting bites. Late in the day we managed a nice sample of quality fish. Here is Logan with a 20lb yellowfin he caught on a fly-lined bait on 20lb test. Logan fishes with his dad and uncle aboard Searcher.

Good evening anglers,

Today we departed on a 3 day trip sponsored by Penn Reels. Pro-staffer Steve Carson is here with all kinds of giveaways and loaner gear. (Check out Steve’s recent tackle tip here: Your “must-have” outfit!)

We started our day on a nice sonar school of yellowfin that didn’t bite very well. We still managed a few, but then quickly moved on. We kept heading west where we found an area of bluefin and stopped on a nice sonar mark of 30-50lb bluefin These stuck with us until after dark and started biting the flat falls after the sun went down.  We got a nice sample and what a great way to start off our trip.

Here is Mike B. with a 35lb bluefin he landed on 25lb test.
