Trip 8 – 2.5 Limited Load June 6, 2024

Good afternoon,

We had some good opportunities with big fish throughout the night. Although we didn’t see as many fish as the previous night, there were still plenty to stop on, and we got our shots. We’ve just started seeing them again this afternoon, and we’re hoping for another chance before heading home tonight.

Good Afternoon,

Last night we spotted several 100+ lb. fish. Made it on scene around 2 a.m., after stopping the boat three times over some very large schools and had a few good opportunities. We’re seeing some activity this morning. We’ll see what the day brings.

Trip #7 May 31 – June 4, 2024

Good evening,

Today we went down to the beach and explored a new area. This morning, we saw a school of 25lb fish and had a brief opportunity with the sardines. Despite scouring the area, we didn’t see any other schools. We spent the day working our way up and found some nice schools on kelps, but they weren’t biting very well. This evening, we headed west and spotted some good schools of big fish, managing to get a few shots. Hopefully, we can keep scratching away tonight. The conditions are tough, though—it’s quite choppy.

Hello Anglers,

After a long day of stopping on large sized schools with little to no reaction we were able to locate some biting fish after the sun went down. The fish grade ranged from 30- 200 pounds with the majority being 120-200. Although not wide open by any means a well-placed jig and a little luck resulted in some trophy fish for our anglers.

Good Afternoon Anglers!

Kyle Landford’s Charter set out on Friday afternoon, eager for some action. After a long night with no schools in sight, we finally spotted one at 5 a.m. There had been promising opportunities before we arrived, and we encountered several good schools throughout the night. It was all about being in the right place at the right time. Just before sunrise, we had an excellent chance and landed a 100-pounder.

Evening!

Trip #2 with John Waggoner’s Charter set out Tuesday morning, and after a 30-hour search, we finally found the fish late this afternoon! We’re now seeing promising signs with a mixed grade, mostly ranging from 30 to 80 lbs. We’ve had a few bites and landed a couple, and we’re hopeful for tonight.
