Nov 2 (Oct 29-Nov 4) 8 day Ultra Limited Load

November 3rd, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Hello anglers:

We managed another solid morning on the wahoo, and trolled up ten for our efforts before putting down the anchor to tuna fish. Tuna fishing was much better than yesterday. It’s an incredible grade of fish and solid plunker-style fishing with not much by-catch. Everyone has close to what they want to keep, so we picked up the anchor and will spend the rest of the day trolling around for more wahoo. We already have a few more for our efforts.

We tried a couple anchor drops for a few yellowtail and yellowfin tuna. We will be spending the night and trying again for wahoo in the morning

Hello anglers:

We arrived on The Ridge this morning and were stopped shortly after arrival to a wahoo strike! We looked around for that better tuna but couldn’t seem to locate any that wanted to bite. Around lunchtime we picked up the anchor to troll around again and have had a few stops since then.

We have 15 wahoo onboard for our day so far and every angler has one. The people are stoked! We are gonna continue to troll and try and locate tuna before moving down The Ridge tonight.

Hello anglers:

Our morning started off very slow. We fished the same zone we had been fishing weeks prior for nicer grade yellowtail for little success. We scratched a few for our efforts.

We left around 11  a.m., making our way south where we ran trolled into some very good yellowfin fishing. Nice grade 20-30# fish and plenty of opportunity. Anglers are warmed up and we will be on The Ridge tomorrow.

Good evening,
Very good yellowtail fishing this morning to finish the trip off–18-25lb fish.  Yoyos and sliding sinkers were the best methods today  We finished up around 10am  and started rolling up trying to get ahead of the weather. There’s a few dorado in the mix as well.

Good evening, 

Good yellowtail fishing on the beach this morning on 10-18# fish. We had a few drifts picking on the yo-yos and sliding sinkers. Fun fishing. We had some more tuna off the edge after lunch.  We’re anchored up at Asunción for dinner and headed up for more yellowtail tomorrow.

Good evening,
 
Nice day of fishing today.  There was a little sign of wahoo, and  we scratched at throughout the day, as well as on these beautiful grade of tuna. The conditions and water seem right.  One would think there should be some more wahoo moving in.  We ended the day with a go-round on grouper.
 
Moving up for yellows tomorrow.

Good evening,
We got down to the “13” at about 0500 and got the anchor down shortly after. It didn’t take long for the yellowfin to start biting the yoyo jigs in the dark.  They continued to bite as the sun came up.  It was pretty much as good as it gets on these 25-40l# fish.  Very fun morning!
We spent the rest of the day trolling around trying to find some wahoo.  We never saw or caught any.  We slid down to the 23 we’ll see if there’s any around tomorrow.

Good evening,

We started on the 13 this morning. This nice grade of tuna started biting the yo-yo jigs in the dark. Anglers that wanted some more came out and caught a few. When the sun came up they started biting the fly lined sardines. We tagged a few more and let some go.

We spent the rest of the morning trying to catch something different. We had one more hit with some pargo and a handfull of grouper. We’re rolling up the line fishing yellows tomorrow again on the beach.

Good afternoon, 

We’re calling it a trip here. We had a nice finisher with very good yellowtail fishing this morning on 18-25# fish. Yo-yo fly lined bait and sliding egg sinkers worked best on 40/50lb. Very good sign, very good fishing.

Good evening 

Nice afternoon today! We kept scratching away on wahoo throughout the day, and we had a couple good opportunities. We did have a hit on 25-40lb yellowfin as well. Pretty amazing fishing down here right now.

We are going to move up for some more tuna, a few more wahoo hopefully and see what else we can come up with tomorrow.
