Howdy anglers, Today was another phenomenal day for and all aboard. The weather was still a little windy but with the sun out, it was ok. The kelp fishing this afternoon was slow but nice way to end the trip. We are heading in tonight and leaving tomorrow on a 4-day trip with Capt. Art. Our total fish count for the trip is 249 bluefin, 48 yellowfin, 43 albies, 29 dorado, and 10 yellowtail. Good angling and hope to see you on the water soon, Capt. Aaron
Howdy anglers, Wow! is all I have to say for the day! It all started a little before sunrise when Capt. Kevin stopped the boat on a meter mark. We then caught fish from daylight until about 4 p.m. on the same drift. Bluefin, yellowfin, albacore, and dorado all day long–it was truly amazing. So we have the sea anchor out for the night and we’re going to try to do the same tomorrow. The weather has freshend up a bit but it’s still shorts and t-shirt weather because the sun was out all day. Our total for the day was 145 bluefin, 39 yellowfin, 25 albies, and 4 dorado. The tip of the day was small hooks with flourocarbon leaders. The standard set up was a number 2 hook with 30 lb flourocarbon, and of course a good bait that swam well definitely helped. Good angling and hope to see you on the water soon, Capt Aaron
Howdy anglers, A surprise came to us today. We had some action this afternoon after departing for our 3-day trip. We caught 13 albies, two yellowfin and two dorado for the afternoon, so we’re going to give it a try in this area tomorrow. Good angling and hope to see you on the water soon, Capt. Aaron p.s. For the birders we saw our first red billed tropicbird today.
Howdy anglers, Well today was a bit slower for us, but the weather has improved. We fished for kelps again and they seemed to move out of the area overnight. We’re headed in tonight with 143 mixed fish for the trip and we’re leaving tomorrow on another 3-day trip with Capt. Kevin at the helm. So good angling and hope to see you on the water soon, Capt. Aaron
Howdy anglers, Capt. Kevin started our 3-day adventure with a great first day. Once again we are fishing kelps and great variety of mixed fish. The weather has picked up a little since the past weeks but the forecast predicts less wind and a nicer sea tomorrow. Our count for the day was 126 mixed fish, including 67 yellowtail, 47 dorado, 7 yellowfin tuna, 4 albacore, and 1 bluefin. So were gonna shut down a little to the northwest tonight and try to repeat what we did today tomorrow. Tip of the day: using flourocarbon when kelp fishing has not proven to be better or worse so on the kelps, it help to utilize the whole side of the boat. It makes it easier for all of us in the long run. So good angling and hope to see you on the water soon, Capt. Aaron

Hey anglers, Today we looked in a little different area hoping for yellowtail and dorado on kelp paddies. Unfortunately there was a lack of paddies and fish. We managed to catch a few dorado and yellowtail and two yellowfin tuna. All in all a very slow day for us. There is some encouraging news from 150 miles south with some good fishing on paddies. Capt Kevin will be on the wheel the next two trips. Look for his reports as usual. Good luck and good fishing, Capt Art
Hey anglers, Today we moved up to the north about 60 miles. The reports were good with good yellowtail, dorado and af ew tuna on kelps. Unfortunately the kelps didn’t have very much yellowtail or dorado on them. We did get really lucky and caught 30 nice big albacore and 9 bluefin tuna for our efforts today. Those albies are in the 30 pound class, with some bigger and some smaller–all beautiful fish. We are headed a little further south to hopefully cover some water off the beaten path tomorrow. More then, Capt Art
