Hello anglers, We started at the south end of Cedros Island today with high hopes for good action on yellowtail. We started out doing OK, with a sign of fish right away. As the morning progressed, we saw fewer and fewer fish. We tried several areas that have produced in the past without much success. We then decided to go toward the north end in the lee where we have been successful before. Unfortunately we were just at Cedros on the wrong day! We ended up landing 40 yellowtail in the 15-18 pound range. We are headed offshore outside San Martin to start tomorrow morning with hopes of locating some more biting bluefin tuna. More tomorrow. Capt Art
Hello all, We haven’t moved yet this mornig. The bluefin tuna are biting a little, starting first thing this morning. We have 30 bluefin tuna aboard and we still have a few hooked. Fish around us and under us…a great way to start the day. More later, Capt Art
Hello anglers, We’re having a great morning with 80 total fish aboard: 75 bluefin tuna and 5 albacore. We have seen lots of fish today as well. They aren’t biting all that well but we are staying busy and everyone has had a great chance at landing a bluefin tuna. The majority of the fish are in the 25 pound class and live bait is the prefered method. Hoping to keep this up the rest of the day. More later, Capt Art
Hello anglers, We had a great day with good fishing until 4pm. About then, our school of bluefin tuna left us and that was pretty much the end of our day. Everyone had fun with steady action most of the day. We ended up with 95 bluefin tuna and 16 albacore. We are headed east to Cedros Island to give everyone a chance at some yellowtail. More tomorrow, Capt Art
Hello anglers, Our first day of fishing turned out OK. We ended up with 47 albacore (in the 20-30 pound class)and five bluefin tuna in the same range. Those are nice sizes. All methods worked today. There were troll fish, mega bait fish and of course live bait fish. There were good signs of fish around and on some of the stops we saw good amounts of fish, but it didn’t bite. Other boats in the area had better fishing for bluefin tuna so we are electing to stay the night and try again tomorrow for this good-size albacore and bluefin tuna. Our new sonar performed as expected and so we know it works, and well! Looking forward to tomorrow with a full day here instead of just an afternoon. Capt Art
Hello anglers, We left on our first fishing trip of the 2010 season and we are excited! We have a great load of bait, a great group of fishermen, and a bunch of terrific Qualia reels aboard. The weather has backed off and it is currently calm with no wind and just a little swell left over from the wind the past few days. We have really good timing as the forecast looks good for the next few days. News from the offshore grounds is encouraging with one of our colleagues finding good signs of bluefin and albacore this afternoon. We should be in that zone before lunch tomorrow. On the local scene there are reports of bluefin tuna caught at 110 miles from San Diego with boats seeing good signs of bluefin tuna and catching some. There are catches between 20 and 50 fish per boat this afternoon and we haven’t had an update from late in the day. This is good news for our 3-day trip next weekend and the 1.5-day trips in the near future that have lots of space available. Looking forward to tomorrow, Capt Art
Hello anglers: Over the trip we did from June 4-8, it was great to see multiple spots of jumping bluefin tuna in the 15-30 pound range. These areas were 107 to 140 miles south of the San Diego. AND our new sonar worked great! Can’t wait to get out there this weekend for our first fishing trip. Capt Art
The June trips are filling, so don’t wait around. We have a 3-day and several 1.5 day trips with openings now, but not for long!
