Hey anglers, We are headed out of the harbor on our 5-day trip and we have a favorable report from the albacore zone. So we are going to start our trip out to the southwest of San Diego. It is unfortunate that our last trip had bad timing but the good news is they are biting again. More tomorrow, Capt Art
Hey anglers: I wish i could ya that they bit for us better than yesterday but they didn’t. So we were able to catch a few more albacore before we went home. There were lots of fish seen–jumping on the meters and sonar, but that’s why they call it fishing and not catching. Hope to see ya on the water and good luck, Capt Aaron
Hey anglers: Well we had a tough day today. The fish wanted nothing to do with us. We saw plenty on the grounds–jumpers, on bait balls, sonar marks, but they just wouldn’t bite. We were able to get some and a bluefin aboard. There are lots of bluefin around also. If they had gotten with the program and bit our hooks, it would of been great! We’re going to stick tough and hope they wanna bite tomorrow. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt Aaron
Hey anglers: Another 3-day trip here and we’re off to go chase those longfins. We’ll be starting first thing in the morning and hope to have a good report tomorrow. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon, Capt Aaron
Hey anglers Today we started off in the albacore area and caught a few more. We saw lots of fish that didn’t bite, which is the same as yesterday morning. Afternoon seems to the best time of the day. We decided to go east for the afternoon to look for kelp paddies and yellowtail. We didn’t have much sucess unfortunately. We found the paddies but there wasn’t any fish with them. The reports from the albacore area in the afternoon were for good fishing. We hope it continues for awhile. The weather is good now with light winds and a little swell, and the forecast looks good. We are at the dock tommorrow and hopefully we can get away erly to get in some fishing time late in the day as a start to the next trip. Capt Art.
Hey anglers, Our move to the east paid off big time. We had a phenomenal day of albacore fishing today. The weather was good and the fishing was better. The fish in this area seem to be a little bigger than out to the west. We had a better percentage of 30 pounders today and we all thought there is a chance for some of the fish to be 40 pounds. We’ll see on Saturday at weigh-in. We tested the new batch of Braid Products Slammers today and had some success with them at the beginnig of some of our stops. The hot trolling feather was black and purple today. The pink one didn’t work in this area. Our plan is to fish here in the morning and head into the east to look for kelp paddies and yellowtail. More tomorrow. Capt Art
Hey anglers, We’re on the first day of our annual Braid Products sponsored trip. Long-range angler, Jan Howard, brought lots of giveaways as the Braid rep on this trip. We fished albacore today in some tough conditions–20 knots of wind and a 4-6 foot sea. We managed to catch 60 fish for our 19 people. Most of those fish were caught in one stop so that was exciting for a short time. The grade of this albacore is really great. When you land one of these fish, you know you’ve caught something. All the fish are over 25 pounds and there are some 35 pound fish. We only had three jigstrikes today but they were all on a pink Zuker. Just a tip for those fishing with us soon: You might want to pick up a trolling feather with some pink in it for color. There was some better fishing to the east of us today, about 30 miles away, so we are moving in there and we hope the weather is better also. More tomorrow. Capt Art
Hey anglers: Today was a great day! The albies bit once again and they bit better today for us then yesterday. The weather laid down and the sun came out. The grade of fish was the same–20lbs to 35lbs–beautiful fish. Our total for the trip is 173 and we are headed home. One thing to remember is that picking a good bait makes all the difference in the world. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt Aaron
Hey anglers The albies bit today and there were some great stops, putting together a great day. The grade of fish was great–20lbs up to 35lbs. The ticket today was to have heavier line, like 30lb with some flourocarbon. That really helped boat the fish a lot faster. The hot color all day trolling seemed to be purple and black. Even after the sun came out. Our weather is ok, so we’re gonna sit it out for another day and hope to put another day together like today. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water soon.
