Hello anglers, Today we spent the day trying for yellowtail. We are at Cedros Island and the conditions are good with with warm, clean water. We moved around quite a bit, trying different spots and landed 75 yellowtail and three dorado. That’s a little on the slow side for this place, but we still had some action. There is quite a bit of barracuda and bonito mixed in so it makes it difficult to land a yellowtail when you have to get a bait through other fish. We elected to stay and try for those good-grade yellowtail tomorrow. We will try to replenish our bait supply with mackerel. I am hoping that will help with the bigger yellows. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Hello anglers, Today we elected to stay offshore and look for kelp paddies instead of going straight to Guadalupe Island. The fishing at the island is a bit slow currently. We were really lucky and found good fishing on kelps. There were mixed fish on one kelp: good-grade dorado from 12 to 20 pounds, yellowfin tuna 15 to 25 pounds, and yellowtail 12 to 15 pounds. Every kelp had a sign of fish! The weather was good with a little chop. The water temp was 72 degrees. Everyone had a great time and landed a nice-size dorado. We are headed to Cedros Island to try for those good-grade yellowtail. More tomorrow, Capt Art If you are preparing for an upcoming Alijos Rocks/Ridge Trip, here’s a few tackle tips from Capt Art:

We are currently operating a natural history tour but will be posting fishing news as we get it. Our next fishing trip leaves Sep 11 (5 days) and still has a few spots open!

Howdy anglers, We finished the day with over a hundred fish for our efforts and the weather is coming down. We ended up with 6 albies, 28 dorado, 106 yellowfin, and 10 yellowtail. Tip of the day: Make sure you can feel your bait–that helps reduce tangles. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water. Capt Aaron

Howdy anglers, Today the weather was up and the fish were down. We ran into the hot spot that we have been fishing and it didn’t pay off. We managed to capture a few, but not like the past few trips. So we’re moving into another area where some good catches were made and hoping to get even with those fish. We ended up with 6 albies, 20 yellowfin tuna and few dorado and yellowtail. Tip of the day: Be patient when pulling up to kelps. Wait until the boat stops and the captain says “OK.” It helps to minimize tangles. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt Aaron
