Big ‘Dines, Dinky Hooks by Bill Roecker

Hello anglers, WE had another frustrating day today. We saw a lot of fish again that didn’t bite. Most of it is bluefin tuna with a few yellowfin and albacore mixed in. We only had two albies today with 13 yellowfin tuna before we had to head home. The good thing is there is plenty of fish around and at some point I really think we are gong to have some great fishing. We are at the dock for a couple of days and we are leaving on a 1.5 day Thursday and there is plenty of room. There is some albacore at 110 miles and if you are there on the right day, there has been some good fishing in the past couple of days. Capt Art

Hello anglers, Well today wasn’t that productive in the “catching” department. We saw a tremendous sign of albacore with a few scattered yellowfin mixed in, but the majority of the fish didn’t bite. We landed 15 albacore and 5 yellowfin tuna. Most of the other counts were around 50 fish average per boat. Once again the quality is great, with all the albies 30 plus pounds. The yellowfin are over 25 pounds. We are staying the night and fishing here tomorrow. Hoping for better results. We’re encouraged by the sign of fish and the fact they are biting! Capt Art

Hello anglers, We are extremely fortunate today to catch some fatso albacore. They average 30 pounds with some 40 pounders mixed in. We see good signs of fish and they are biting. We currently have 100 fish onboard and plenty of time left to get some more. There are some yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna mixed in. The weather is calm and so we plan to stay in the area and try tomorow. Hopefully it isn’t a flash in the pan. More later, Capt Art

Hello anglers, We ended up with 103 albies and 11 yellowfin tuna for our afternoon. It was great fishing! The weather is great too. We are staying another day and looking forward to the oppoetunity to catch this quality albacore again. I pondered travelling tonight ro Cedros Island to fish for yellowtail tomorrow for about 2 or 3 seconds, and then I realized I might have a mutiny on my hands if I left this area! We had our evening meeting to go over today and game plan for tomorrow and we made a toast to our old friend Mark Seals who came on this trip every year and sadly passed away in January. He was here in spirit today and would have enjoyed catching these fish a lot. More tomorrow, Capt Art

We’ll be missing our friend Mark Seals on the next Izorline trip, as he came fishing with them on that trip every year.
