We are wrapping up this 3-day trip and had some very good fishing all the way around, including some nice dorado. Here is Bill B and Captain Mike with a beautiful one.
‘Til next fishing trip, tight lines!

Good afternoon anglers:
This morning we found the magic kelp paddy are having a great time catching yellowfin, skipjack and dorado! Good times to be had by all aboard.
Here’s a photo of father/son team Jerry and Jesse B with some school-size yellowfin tuna.

Hello anglers:
We are finishing up our fishing time in the bluefin tuna region and had some personal bests today. Here’s Andrew R. and his 218# fish and Lance D. 205# fish. We’ve caught fish on both flat falls (Click for more info on these lures) and yummy flyers. (Click here for our Tackle Tip video on use of the yummy!)
We are going to move on and try our hand at some yellowfin tuna tomorrow. Wish us luck.

Hello anglers:
We’re on a 3-day trip this weekend and decided to try for bluefin with the extra time. Our efforts are paying off with some beautiful big fish.The tuna caught this morning were on “flat falls” (250 gram, sardine pattern), 80lb test with 150 lb leaders, and dropping down 150 to 200 feet.

Here’s Anthony C with his 207# bluefin. Captains Mike and Shawn were there with the assist.

Our annual 3-day trip over Labor Day weekend left the dock on Friday morning, headed for tuna and yellowtail fishing. Most anglers choose this trip each year, so there were lots of familiar faces boarding the boat. Good luck to all!
Good evening anglers:
Today we fished for yellowtail and had good success on 8-15 lb fish. Most of our yellowtail came on 30 lb line, a fly-lined sardine and a yo-yo iron. A 6x junior “blue and white” was working well.
Big thanks to Turners Outdoorsman for all the great giveaways. Here is Danielle G with one of her nice fish.
