Hello anglers, Arrived at Alijos Rocks around 9:30 this morning. The weather is great and the water temps are the same as last trip. Boats already here have a few fish aboard and are seeing fish boil around. Our first fish was a wahoo landed by our re-ride passenger Ken Piel from Oregon. He bought a brand new Calstar rod and an Avet reel at Fishermans Tackle Shop upon arrival from his first trip to Alijos last weekend and it paid off! He landed the first fish of the trip and it was a wahoo on straight mono to boot. Pretty lucky for Ken. The tuna fishing is a little on the slow side so far, but we see plenty of fish around the boat. They are not biting right now but I’m sure we will get busy later. More this evening, Capt Art

Congrats to Doug Nance, Steve Heffner, and Jeff Nagel!

A big thank you to Steve Lamb for some amazing photos from this last trip! Check them out on our Photo Gallery.

Hello anglers, We travelled up to San Benitos today and arrived around 1 p.m. We saw plenty of fish but it didn’t bite all that well. It felt like we should have been here this morning. However, we kept busy and everyone got a few yellowtail in the 16-20 pound class. We ended up with 80 yellows for our efforts and that was plenty. Yo-yo irons and live sardines were the best way to get a bite. We are going to drop the anchor and have dinner here. Then we are calling it a trip and a great one at that. We will travel all day tomorrow and we will arrive at 6 am so we can get turned around in a hurry and get back down to Alijos Rocks. Capt Art

Hello anglers, We had another great morning of fishing at Alijos Rocks! The ratio of bigger yellowfin tuna is better today than it was yesterday with half the tuna in the 50 to 70 pound class. Flyline a live sardine on 50 pound line with 50 pound florocarbon and a 4/0 circle hook is the hot set-up. A pleasant surprise was a bite on good-grade dorado to go along with the tuna this morning. The weather is fantastic again and the forecast looks good for the trip home. We are leaving here to head north to Cedros Island tomorrow for some yellowtail fishing. More later, Capt Art

Hello anglers, We had an incredible day today with excellent tuna fishing again. We ended up with 99 yellowfin and 58 of those fish were the better size ones. So along with the dorado bite we had this morning we had a phenomenal day. We departed around 3:30 pm when the fishing slowed down along with the participation. Everyone is a little tuckered out and there are some sore muscles tonight. We are headed to San Benitos tomorrow to try for yellowtail. There was areport of good fishing there today. We will arrive after lunch. More then, Capt Art
