Let’s Talk Hook-up/Shimano Seminar trip #1

July 13th, 2015|Captain Mike's Blog|

Hello Anglers, We returned today from our first 1.5-day Let’s Talk Hook-Up Shimano On-the-water Seminar. Fishing was tough. We struggled to find the right kelp paddie. It wasn’t for lack of trying–the crew did a great job spotting kelps in the zone, but only a few were holding fish. We weren’t the lucky ones yesterday.
Thanks to Shimano for all the gear. Pro-staffer Alex Plambeck was great with lots of good info for the anglers. There were  fish caught on Shimano gear, just not the amount we had hoped for. Great raffle prizes too!
Marcus Hsu of San Diego won the jackpot with a 20# yellowtail caught on a live sardine and 30# test. Using one of the many outfits from Shimano!
The group was great and appreciative of all the hard work on the things we can control. The crew did a great job and Charles and Dan did an awesome job with the food.
Headed back out for another Let’s Talk Hook-Up Shimano On-the-water Seminar today with Capt. Aaron at the helm.

Hello anglers: Today we had good action on yellowtail. We arrived after lunch and after figuring out where we needed to be, we started to land some fish. Most of the fish are in the 15# range with a few stand-outs over 20#. Everyone had a chance to land a nice yellowtail this afternoon. The weather was calm so it made for a nice day. Looking forward to returning to start the next trip.
Photos to follow.

BOOTSOtrip 5 first blood

Congrats to Ron Spier of Rancho Cucamonga, CA!

Hello anglers: We stopped to wet a line in the local yellowtail grounds today, though we got there a little late after the local guys had great fishing. It was good for everyone to get a little rail time and get to know the crew. We also got the new deck christened with some fish blood. Ron Spier from Rancho Cucamunga was the winner with the first fish this year–a nice-size yellow tail. He and Capt Kenny are pictured for today’s photo. We are headed south looking for some yellowfin tuna tomorrow.

Tuna Time!

July 1st, 2015|Uncategorized|

Hello anglers: Great news from local waters with bluefin tuna caught in US waters! Some of the fish landed are up to 50 pounds. This is great for our future 1.5-day trips. Great news from the boats further out with catches of yellowfin tuna within 3-day range! Can’t wait to get out there.
