Trip Reports

Good evening,

Tuesday morning we left the dock on our last fishing trip of the 2024, Denio’s 40th Birthday Bash! We’re out on an 8-Day Ultra Limited Load, running from Tuesday, November 19th to Wednesday, November 27th. Yesterday afternoon we got down to the tuna zone around 3 PM and were able to stop on fish. Shortly after arriving we scratched some 40-70 pounds yellowfin and a couple bluefin ranging from 100-160 pounds before the sun went down. Later, we spent a good portion of the night driving around picking at 80-180 pound bluefin on jigs in the dark before stopping for a few hours to let everyone get some rest.

Today, we spent the morning looking for more yellowfin and were able to pick up a handful before pointing the boat south. With some beautiful trophy fish in the hold, we will be traveling the rest of the day and tonight to put us in position for tomorrow to target yellowtail and more yellowfin.

Good evening,

Searcher drove out Sunday morning on trip #52, November 17th – 19th, a 2-day charter with family and friends. We traveled down the beach yesterday to put ourselves in position for today. Glassy weather made for lots of action and steady rock fishing. Fun day and good times on the water with family and friends.

Good evening,

Day 5 on our 8-Day Limited Load, trip #49. Today was a nice day on the water. We stopped on a spread of mixed yellowfin and bluefin tuna, running 35-100 lbs. Drifted all afternoon from 2 to 6 PM with flurries in between. The guys caught all the tuna they wanted to keep. Tomorrow we’re going to try for yellowtail.

If you have three days off and want to fish, we have open spots on trip #51, a 3-day trip from November 14 – 17, 2024.

Good evening,

Spent the day by the rocks targeting wahoo. We were able to connect and gave our anglers plenty of opportunities to catch these high-speed creatures. We also caught one of the largest yellowtails we’ve seen in a long time. To finish off our trip, we’ll be heading up the line for some cod fishing.

Good morning,

Tuesday, we arrived at the ridge and after looking around and putting down the anchor we were able to scratch at some nice grade yellowtail, although the guys were focusing on catching yellows there was plenty of nice tunas around for anyone that wanted some. We trolled around for wahoo in the afternoon with no luck and caught a couple grouper on one anchor drop.

Wednesday morning, we decided to hang tight and try again for some more yellowtail. The guys filled up what they wanted on tuna and managed to snag a few more yellows before taking off to the rocks in search of wahoo. Just before lunch we pulled the anchor to make sure we were in prime position for today.
