Trip #27 Accurate 7-day trip (Oct 19-26)

Good evening anglers,

We had steady action on these big brute yellowtail this afternoon. We were hooking them on the dropper loop mackerel, fly line mackerel and yoyo jigs. The only way to land them seemed to be if you fished 80 or 100lb. We had heavy casualties due to the sharp rocks on the bottom here. Here’s Alan with a yellowtail he caught on the dropper loop. We’re going to try make some bait again tonight and try fish these big yellows again in the morning.

Good evening anglers,

We had a slow day of fishing this afternoon. There is good sign of this mixed grade 30-60lb fish here. It boiled around the boat for hours, but we struggled to get them to bite the hook. Most of the fish we did hook didn’t come up whole, or got away Hopefully we paid our dues here today. Here’s a 50+lb that fell victim to the tax man. We’ll check back in the morning.

Good morning anglers,

We left yesterday on our Accurate sponsored 7 day trip. We opted to fish local today due to weather and the quality of fishing in our backyard at the moment. We found a school of mixed grade yellowfin right at day light and managed to pick a few mixed grade yellowfin. Here’s Bob B with an 18lb yellowfin he caught on a flylined sardine. Were off in the hunt for more right now. We’ll check back later.Captain Captain Mike and the boys

Good evening anglers,

We slid out to the west this afternoon and were greeted by giant schools of bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna. Just after lunch we stopped on a flat spot about a half mile across of mixed bluefin and yellowfin. These were mixed grade fish. The majority of what we caught were 25-35lb yellowfin and they wanted to bite a little bit. Here is Beth with a 30lb yellowfin tune she caught on 30lb test.

Hello anglers,

We had a great day fishing offshore today. We started the day with a school of mixed grade yellowfin tuna and skipjack. We had good action on 10-30 pound tuna and the skipjack were a lot of fun. we released a lot of skipjack and kept a few for poke.

Everyone had their fill of yellowfin and so we decided to head west on a report of bluefin tuna schools. The last part of the day was spent on a big school of 40-55 pound bluefin tuna. They were biting! Capt Mike hooked and handed 10 fish! Not all were landed as usual due to the usual losses that occur with that size fish. We landed 16 of these good size bluefin tuna. Here is a group shot of the lucky anglers who landed at least one.

This was a great ending to a great trip!

Hello anglers,

We had some slow action today at the island, but we had our chances in the afternoon with plenty of fish around. They just weren’t biting as well as we would like. We elected to leave a day early and travel up to the local fishing zone as there has been some excellent fishing for yellowfin tuna there. We will be there early Friday morning and will spend our last day fishing there. Wish us luck.

Here is Dave N and Capt Art with a nice tuna.
