Hello anglers, Today we extended our 1.5 day trip by a few hours and tried the Rock Pile at the Coronados Islands for yellowtail. The reports were favorable but not today. We only landed a few yellows. We did that because we had very little success yesterday on the tuna grounds. We only managed to land 2 albacore and 1 bluefin tuna for our efforts. We saw some fish but they didn’t want to bite. In the afternoon the wind came up and made it difficult to work. We are hoping that with some good weather in the forecast the next few days and the full moon coming there might be a change in conditions and something starts to bite. Hope to see you soon, Capt Art

Hello anglers, We started in the same area as yesterday with hope of better weather and spots of bluefin tuna. Unfortunately the weather is up and there are very few spots of fish. It has been very difficult to work and so the result wasn’t good. We only managed to catch a single bluefin tuna for our efforts today. The fish are still around along with the bait balls and bird life. I’m sure that when the weather straightens out there will be a chance to catch a bluefin tuna. More from the next trip, Capt Art

June 18–Mid-day report
Hello anglers, We are on the first day of a 3-day trip sponsored by Western Outdoor News and the weather is good with very little wind and a good-size ground swell. We are currently 100 miles from San Diego. So far this morning we have seen several spots of bluefin tuna and we have managed to land 13 fish in the 20-30 pound range, with a few more hooked up right now. There is a good sign of fish so if we find the right school that wants to bite a little, we are going to have a great day. There is a good sign of bait in the area with lots of birds and a few whales. Once again its all about the food source and there seems to be a good supply of bait for these tuna. More later, Capt Art

June 18–Day’s end
Hello anglers, We started the day by seeing plenty of fish and were encouraged by that. We managed to land 17 bluefin tuna by 1:00 pm. Then the wind came up and the fish went down for the most part. It seems that the fish might be weather-sensitive. We did see a few fish this afternoon and some of the other boats in the area had some success. We are staying the night and hoping the wind backs off a little to make it easier to work. The forecast calls for the wind to diminish tomorrow and for the next few days. Larry Grey and his grandson Alex each landed a bluefin and their trip is made! More tomorrow, Capt Art
