Sep 28-Day’s end

Hello anglers, Here’s our final report from a great day of fishing at Alijos Rocks. We had steady action with something hooked almost all day. We ended up with 96 yellowfin tuna, 30 of those are the better grade fish in the 50 to 70 pound range, with a couple of stand outs in the 90 to 100 pound class. We landed 12 dorado and George Guardiano landed our only wahoo today with no wire leader, it was a 40 pound fish. The weather was fantastic, with no wind and calm seas. We are staying one more day until the fish quit or the sun goes down which ever happens first. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Hello anglers, The afternoon was pretty good fishing with plenty of action on mixed-grade yellowfin tuna. We ended up with 66 fish for our 22 anglers. Half of the fish are in the 50 to 70 pound range and the rest are 20 pound average. We landed one fish over 100 pounds, caught by Doug Nance of San Diego. Most of the fish were caught on 50-pound test line and a 5/0 circle hook, with a flyline sardine. John Curtis (from England) landed three of the better grade tuna. John purchased a CalStar 700 graphite rod prior to coming on this trip and is very pleased to have a “proper” rod for the trip. Almost everyone landed a good-grade tuna so there are some sore muscles on deck tonight. We are spending the night and trying again tomorrow with the same program. The weather is great with calm winds and seas. Capt Art

Hello anglers, We arrived at 8 am to Alijos Rocks. So far fishing has been pretty slow. We have landed 13 yellowfin tuna and all but one fish is in the 20 pound class. The one larger fish weighed 57 pounds. Dave Thiessen from Irvine was the lucky angler to land that fish! We are hoping the action picks up this afternoon. The weather is fantastic, almost no wind, which is making it almost impossible to get a kite bait out however. It’s hot and sunny and the sea state is calm. More later, Capt Art

Capt Art reports calm conditions at Alijos Rocks this morning. They’ve just arrived and are ready to fish!
