Hello anglers, I thought I would give everyone an update on the latest albacore info. Yesterday there were three different areas of fish that were biting a little. There were fish at 175, 150, and 105 miles from San Diego and the boats in those ares saw good signs of fish. There were counts of up to 100 albies on some boats in all three areas. Hopefully the fish will bite more consistently today and in the future. So as it is right now, you have an opportunity to catch a fish on 1.5 day trips to 5 day trips. We have availability on all those trips. The weather forecast looks good and it appears that we have a stable weather pattern. Don’t miss out on a great chance to fish on trips with fewer people than we have had in the past. Capt Art

Capt Art gave everyone about three hours of fishing in the current tuna area (at 150 miles). They caught 61 albacore in the 20-30# class. Full report later…

Hello anglers, We had a superb day today at Cedros Island. The weather was great and the fishing wasn’t too bad either. We had great fishing for yellowtail with all methods working–from flyline sardine to surface iron to yo-yo iron. They all worked! The size of fish is around 20 pound average with a few 14 pounders and a few 25 pounders. Every time I come to this island I hope for a chance to see boiling yellowtail and fish chasing surface iron. That type of fishing is still the most exciting of them all. We had multiple opportunities to do that today. Lots of fun was had by all, including the captain. It sounds like some pretty decent albacore fishing at around 170 miles from home and also at around 100 miles. Plenty of space on upcoming trips. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Slower day on the albacore today, but a passenger caught a bluefin and donated it to the galley. The day’s highlight seems to be the sushi, sashimi, and seared bluefin put out for the afternoon snack by Lambchop! Full report later.

Hello anglers, Well today was our day!! We had EXCELLENT fishing for albacore in the 20 to 30 pound class. All the traditional methods worked with plenty of opportunity for troll fish and bait fish. Most of the fish were caught in the afternoon but we had an indication of where to be in the morning. We are spending the night and trying again tomorrow. It was too much fun to leave! The weather is great and the forecast looks good for tomorrow and the next day. More then, Capt Art
