Good morning,
We’ve had some very good opportunities the last couple days and nights on 30-100# bluefin.  We’ve been seeing a good sign and doing a lot of drifting the past couple days and nights.
 It requires finesse fly line fishing on 40/50# outfit.  There’s a good sign again today and we are picking away this morning on mostly 60-100# bluefin.

Sep 9 (Sep 8-10) 2 Day Private Charter, part 2

September 9th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good evening,
We had a great day here today.  We started anchored up on the bank and had some good action on 25# yellowtail and 15-40# bluefin.  We left it before lunch. We were still picking but we wanted to mix it up.  We had a kelp early afternoon for all you wanted dorado.  It was full-speed aquarium style fishing.
When we got our fix we headed back to where we were last night and saw the same incredible sign of fish: miles and miles of all-size bluefin. It was quite a sight.  We caught a couple more 30-40# bluefin and ran out of time.

Sep 9 (Sep 8-10) 2 Day Private Charter

September 9th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good morning,
We had excellent fishing last night.  We stopped on a giant school of 50-150# bluefin and it stuck until we left it at about midnight. This last week there has been some excellent sign around and they’re biting.
We made a move out to the bank last night when the guys had enough of big ones, and we’re anchored up picking away on 25# yellowtail and 15-40# bluefin right now.  Beautiful weather and good fishing, and happy anglers!
