Jun 21 (Jun 20-23) 2.5 day James T, Scott C and friends

Good evening,
 
Pretty fun fishing today plunking on 30-100lb bluefin. We had a very good sign throughout the day and we’re still seeing it at the moment.
The winds coming up, but it’s still plenty fishable though. A flyline sardine on 50lb seemed to be the go-to outfit.  Any less than that and it was hard to land the bigger fish. We went through a lot on lighter line.

Good morning,
We arrived on scene about 0300 this morning and had a few good shots on 50-100lb bluefin in the dark before sun-up. The sun came up and we got on a school of 20-30lb fish pretty quickly and had a good little shot at them as well.
We’re seeing much better sign this morning than we have the past few days.  We are currently drifting and pulling on some heavier models.

Jun 17 (Jul 16-19) 3 day

June 17th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good afternoon,
We spent yesterday running down the beach chasing the fish we’ve been fishing the last week or so. We finally got on it 25 miles south of where we were the night before.  We spent all night chasing it further further south and when we did catch up with it we did get a few very good opportunities on it. We ended up 65 miles south of where we had been fishing the last week when the sun came up and never saw it again. We’ve been on the hunt ever since.  We’re glad we got the shots we did.  We’re still on the hunt.

Jun 15 (Jul 13-16) 3 day Pelagic Predators charter

June 16th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good evening,
 
We mixed it up today and looked down the coast for yellowtail and had little success.  We caught a few but it was not red hot. 
We worked our way back up to the bluefin grounds and rolled right into a boomer school of these 40-100lb fish. We got a pretty good hit here.  
 
We’re headed home now in nice weather.

Good morning,
We broke off from the tuna fishing yesterday to seek out some yellowtail, and didn’t find them.  We got back on the tuna late in the afternoon and had a few opportunities in the dark on 80-100# fish.  We managed a few and now we’re back on the hunt for some yellowtail again this morning.
We’ll see what the day brings.

Good morning,
Our fishing last night was as good as it gets on the lures! We saw good sign of bluefin right before dark and saw it all they way up until the sun came up.  Very good sign, very good biting on 40-100# fish.

Jun 11 (Jul 9-12) 2.5 day Limited load

June 12th, 2023|Captain Mike's Blog, Trip Reports|

Good evening,
We saw a lot of fish throughout the day today but it was very tough to get a bite. We got a quick shot on the school-grade right at sundown.
We drifted after dark and caught a couple more small ones, then the big ones got on us and we started hooking them. We didn’t fare too well, but we did manage to deck a couple more 100lb fish.  We’re headed in now in nice weather.

Good afternoon,
We arrived on scene last night at about 10pm we had a stop for three 100lb bluefin, and then that was it. We drove around for hours and didn’t like what we were seeing. So we took off around 3am and made a big move. We’re seeing more fish than we’ve seen all year  and we’re picking away at 50-150lb fish right now on the sinker rigs.
Hopefully they’re in the mood tonight.

Good looking trio!
