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

June 18th, 2010|Captain Mike's Blog|

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

June 18th, 2010|Captain Mike's Blog|

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

Hello anglers, We travelled northwest today towards home and due to the weather and the current, we didn’t have much fishing time. We did find an area with some jumping bluefin tuna and we managed to land 6 fish in the 30 pound range. We saw 5 or 6 different spots of jumpers as well. We are looking forward to spending some time in that area on the next trip. More later Capt Art

Hello anglers, We started at the south end of Cedros Island today with high hopes for good action on yellowtail. We started out doing OK, with a sign of fish right away. As the morning progressed, we saw fewer and fewer fish. We tried several areas that have produced in the past without much success. We then decided to go toward the north end in the lee where we have been successful before. Unfortunately we were just at Cedros on the wrong day! We ended up landing 40 yellowtail in the 15-18 pound range. We are headed offshore outside San Martin to start tomorrow morning with hopes of locating some more biting bluefin tuna. More tomorrow.
