Hello anglers; Today we had good fishing in great weather. We enjoyed calm seas and very light winds. We opted for getting some action today close to home where there has been small yellowfin tuna and dorado on kelp paddies. We had a slow morning but made up for it this afternoon. Everyone had a limit of dorado and close to a limit of yellowfin tuna.
Mission accomplished with lots of action! Thanks to Shimano for providing all the great tackle and giveaways. As always it was a pleasure having our friend Patrick Gee as instructor. He was able to hook and hand several fish to people having trouble getting a bite. Thanks to Pete and Rick from Let’s Talk Hook-up for allowing us to participate in this great program of teaching people how to fish. Looking forward to doing it again next year.
Today’s photo is of Mark Payne from Poway with a nice dorado.

Hello anglers: With the weather forecast calling for windy conditions, we decided to leave the bluefin zone so we would have an opportunity for everyone to catch a fish. So we moved east for better weather. We managed to find some action on small yellowfin tuna and dorado. Today’s photo is of Capt Joe and Larry Fukuhara from LA and a good-size dorado.
Headed for home,

Hello anglers: We are trying for bluefin tuna today. The yellowfin tuna that we were fishing last trip aren’t biting currently and so there was good sign of bluefin tuna not too far from the yellowfin area. We aren’t landing that many but the ones we are landing are REALLY nice fish. Frank Fink from San Diego is pictured with his bluefin tuna from this morning.
The flat fall lure from Shimano is working for these fish as well.

Hello anglers We started our trip south of San Diego today, looking for kelp paddies and some dorado. We had some action this afternoon on good-size dorado and some small yellowfin tuna. We released several small tuna and kept a few for sushi later in the trip. The dorado were in the 10 -20 pound class and everyone had some fun landing them.
Headed west for larger yellowfin tuna.
