Trip Reports

July 25, 2017

Hello all,

We travelled south all day yesterday to get to the good fishing grounds. We had calm seas and good conditions all day. We didn’t catch anything of note but there is good tuna fishing on our bow tomorrow.

We have had a sample of yellowfin tuna and dorado here this morning so far. Looking forward to some more action today. Lori Sachau from Turner’s Outdoorsman in San Marcos landed this yellowfin tuna on the troll.

Hello anglers,

Glad we kept on fishing into the late afternoon – Wendy T. and Dave Sachau hooked these nice dorado after a great day of fishing on day one of our 5-day trip. 

Headed south, more later,

Hello all,

Back out on a beautiful ocean. Lots of clean blue and warm water within 60 miles of San Diego. We headed to an area where there was a sign of good size yellowtail on kelp paddies. The first kelp we stopped on had a nice size fish that Willy Lewis landed –  a 20 pound yellowtail.

Leaving the kelp, we put out the trolling rods and we had a bite right away: Bob Bower landed a nice dorado. So we have a sample of things to come… Not giving up yet (as of 6:30) Heading south all night and all day tomorrow to get to good fishing.

More later.

Hello anglers: We had some action this morning on a kelp paddie! Tom Golden is pictured fighting a yellowtail. Everyone has had a chance to land a yellow and we are now looking for more.

Hello anglers: We had great action this morning catching yellowtail, so we decided to head north and took for common dolphin and yellowfin tuna together. It took awhile but we found a group of dolphin and we got two fish on the trolling lures.The yellowfin boiled around on one of the stops, but we didnt’ hook any on live bait. The fish are 18-25 pounds. We are hopeful this is a sign of things to come. Tom and Jesse, the Bachelor (but not for long) Golden are posing with the yellowfin tuna that Tom landed.

Hello all,

We finished our day with a bang. We had a group of common dolphin that had some yellowfin tuna associated with them! All 4 trolling lures got hooked up and we landed all 4 yellowfin tuna! The fish are 25 pounds each. The Houstons from Lakeside were the lucky trolling team.

A great day of fishing! Thanks to Let’s Talk Hook Up for their support in sponsoring these trips. We will return in the morning.
