And here’s the group, off and running, for a weekend 1.5 day trip!
Hello anglers: I’d like to share the news about the signs of wahoo at Alijos Rocks and The Ridge. There have been recent catches at both places though the Rocks have produced more wahoo than The Ridge. Of note are the sharks at the Rocks so it would be wise to add some lures to your arsenal. The sharks have been aggressive so you might lose a lure or two….
There are signs of yellowfin tuna at The Ridge but not at the Rocks. No guarantees but if there is a chance to catch a wahoo or two for everyone, we will certainly do our best.
There are still 6 spots left on the final trip this season–Oct 24-31–so book now and check these spots out! Look forward to seeing you.

Hello anglers; Another great day of fishing! It was a little slower today, but the quality of the fish was the same–bluefin tuna in the 30-40 pound class– and a few nice size yellowfin tuna. We finished the day with some action on good-size yellowtail to finish the trip. We had great weather and lots of fun,
Today’s photo is of Paul Busbyand crew member Jeff with one of the nice size yellowfin tuna.

Hello anglers: We’re enjoying great fishing for bluefin tuna today! Most everyone has landed at least one of these good-size bluefin. All the fish are in the 30-40 pound class. The primary method has been flyline live bait (sardine or greenback mackerel), #30-40 pound mono with matching floro-carbon, and a 3/0 circle or J hook.
This morning’s photo is of Capt Ryan and Peggy O’Rourke from Huntington Beach and her nice size bluefin tuna.

Hello anglers: We had a really good day today! Everyone landed their California daily limit of bluefin tuna. We couldn’t have asked for a better result for our efforts today–great weather and good fishing. The photo is of former Sportfishing Association of California (SAC) president Bob Fletcher and his son Rob with their bluefin tunas. All the fish are this size 30-40 pound class.
