Capt Aaron called in at 11 a.m. to report that he has had three stops so far. One stop on bluefin, but only one was boated. The two other stops were on albacore and they got 7 boated. But he is in a slightly new area and is encouraged to see more albacore and good bird life. He thinks he is in the right spot now and is hoping for a good score this afternoon.

Howdy anglers, Today was a tough day of fishing but we feel fortunate for what we caught. The weather is still nice and all the conditions were good, just the fish didn’t cooperate. There is still lots of bluefin around. So tomorrow is another day. We are leaving on a 4-day trip and hope to connect with bluefin on that trip. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt. Aaron
42 albacore and 1 bluefin for 22 anglers on this 1.5 day trip. Mike Brady of Monrovia, CA won the jackpot with his 30# albacore.

Hello anglers, The weather is flat, calm today and we are seeing and catching a few albacore. We just pulled out of a stop for 12 fish and had them boiling around a little. We also got a few troll fish before that stop. We are encouraged by what we see this morning and have 15 albacore so far. Other boats in the area are seeing the same signs. More later, Capt Aaron
Capt Aaron reports 38 albacore and 1 bluefin aboard for 22 people and he is still fishing. He is loving the flat and calm conditions also. We’re heading back out again Tuesday (check in at 4 p.m.). To jump aboard, call 619-226-2403 and talk to Capt Art in the office.
Howdy anglers, Today was a walk down memory lane to get the familiar feelings of fishing for longfins back to what it was last year. This was my first trip at the wheel this year and we all had a fun time. To start the trip we had a great load of sardines for bait and then the weather was like a lake all day. My water bottle never moved on the dash-that’s how nice the weather was. Shortly after daybreak the first longfin hit the deck and it kept up that pace for most of the morning. It was like regulation albie fishing: meter marks, jig strikes, followed up by bait fish. After morning was through, all the boats in the area had a bit of a lull and then it picked up again in the afternoon. Once again back to routine jigstrikes and followed by bait fish. We are all happy and headed to Fishermans Landing with a nice catch of albacores, and also managed to convince a finicky bluefin to bite today. The bluefin sign is still very plentiful but just not interested in what we have to offer. But we’re all hoping that when those bluefin do decide to bite, there’s enough around to make some good catches. Tip of the day-When the weather is calm and very little wind, the boat doesn’t move as much, so spreading out makes the tangles less. Good luck and hope to see ya on the wate, Capt Aaron
Give us a call if you’re able to join the Jun 29-Jul 1 trip…it’ll be a light load and we can match that with a light price! 619-226-2403
The 1.5 day trips are looking good for nice catches of albacore at 100 miles. We have room on Jun 27 and Jun 29. Also the albacore/bluefin news a little further away is also good for our 4-day July 1-5. No time like the present!
