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.

It’s Tackle Tip Thursday! Here’s Lori S from Turners Outdoorsman for the tip. You can also learn lots from Lori in person at the San Marcos store. You’ll find her at the saltwater tackle counter.
Jason R and Beto S from Turners Outdoorsman in San Diego loaded up their sponsored trip with a boatload of giveaways and prizes for our anglers. 
Good luck and have fun!
Good evening anglers:
This afternoon was a little slow on the tuna grounds, but we did have a couple of stand-outs. The first belongs to Garrett Shiroma who caught a nice dorado. 
And second is Todd Adamson who caught his first striped marlin. He caught it on a flat fall and 40 lb line. Congrats to Todd!
We want to say thank you to Let’s Talk Hook-up for a great trip and all the giveaways.

Good afternoon Anglers:
Reporting from the boat on the Let’s Talk Hook-up trip. This morning, we have had great action on school size yellowfin tuna and skipjack. Seas are nice with a great breeze. Great way to beat the heat inland.Tackle tip for today 20 to 25 lb line and a 2/0 Owner hook, with Coltsnipers and flat falls are very effective. Here is a nice shot of Jacob and John with their yellowfin. Until later tight lines.

Host Dave D. joined 27 anglers to get offshore and into some tuna action. He brought a load of tackle and clothing to give away, and some Shimano rods/reels to share. Wish them luck!
