Trip 24 Sep 11-13 Turner’s Open (1.5-day) Sep 12 PM Report
Howdy anglers,
Slow action this afternoon fishing the coast: we did manage to catch a few yellows, but nothing crazy. Anyways, we’re headed home to be back out tomorrow for 6 days. Jackpot report tomorrow.

Here’s a photo of Turner’s rep Beto S. with a yellow he caught on Trip 21. I forgot to take photos today.

Trip 23 Sep 8-11 Clearfly Comm. and Friends Sep 10 PM Report
Howdy anglers,
Sunday afternoon wasn’t as good as we hoped for – starting with the conditions: current wasn’t there, and it was tough fishing. To go along with the slack current we had a torrential downpour of rain and lightning all around us. Quite a show, just not the one we were looking for!
Headed in tonight to come back out on a 1.5 day tomorrow.
We’ll post this trip’s jackpot report Monday afternoon.

Howdy anglers,
We have had some action today on bluefin tuna – biggest up to 40 lbs. The best method has been on flyline 30lb fluorocarbon and a 2/0 Owner circle hook. Here’s a sample of the fish caught by Tim Dodge. The weather is flat where we are – so we’ll hang out for a while.
