October 21st, 2009|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello anglers! If you were aboard for a fishing trip during October, please make sure all your rods made it back home. A rod was left aboard. The boat is at Guadalupe Island for a shark diving trip. A report will follow.

Hey anglers, We had another excellent day of fishing at Cedros Island. Most of the fish landed today were in the 25 pounds plus size. We caught some mackerel for bait last night and so they came in handy for those better-grade fish. The method of choice was 40 pound line and 5/0 or 6/0 hook flyline mackerel. Everyone caught close to their limit of yellowtail today and so we elected to try offshore this afternoon. Unfortunatley we didn’t have any success with the tuna. We have great weather and we are going to try offshore tomorrow for dorado and yellowfin tuna. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Hey anglers, Today we had great fishing for yellowtail in the morning. Most of the fish are in the 18-22 pound range, with a few 25 pounders mixed in. Most of the fish were landed using flyline live sardines. A few fish were landed on yo-yo iron and dropper-loop. The weather is great with no wind. Since we are in the lee of Cedros, there is no sea. The water is 73 degrees and clean green–perfect for yellows. We did have an unusual catch this morning–one of the customers landed a 30 pound yellowfin tuna. We don’t usually catch tuna in the shallows here at Cedros. Looking forward to tomorrow, Capt Art

Hey anglers, Today we spent the day offshore looking for yellowfin tuna and dorado. Only a few fish were landed on the kelps today–it was pretty slow. We had good conditions with calm seas and very little wind, perfect for finding kelps. The water temp was 69 and blue. Unfortunately our efforts didn’t pay off. We are looking forward to tomorrow at Cedros Island with good reports from other boats today. Capt Art
