Howdy anglers, Today we had jumping dorado, and nice weather for today and in our future for the next few days. Yesterday we started fishing in the afternoon and captured 5 nice albies just before dark and today we caught 86 mixed fish, including the colorful leapers, dorado, and dandy-sized ones too, yellowfin tuna up to 22 lbs and some yellowtail mixed in with it. We’re gonna try to do it again tomorrow. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt. Aaron Tip of the day- some of the bait the last few days has been kinda weak so taking your time at the bait tank picking a good bait, and there’s plenty to pick, made anglers get more bites.

Biting fish! Capt Art reports over 100 yellowfin tuna with lots of action and lots of fun! Stay tuned for more.

Don’t forget to review each trip’s fish totals and jackpot winners at the Trip Reports link (under Trips) on the web site. It will answer the question “How’s fishing?!”

Hello anglers, Well we did it again! We were extremely lucky this morning and found a school of 10-20 pound yellowfin tuna that wanted to bite. Everyone had a chance to get all the yellowfin they wanted. And we had a lot of fun! The majority of the tuna were caught with a live sardine with a few fish caught on the iron. The weather is fantastic with very little wind, and the swell we had yesterday has diminshed. Capt Potatohead has been working his behind off, giving away prizes to everyone and providing the entertainment and laughter on the deck. And of course, the crew has had a great time chastising him to no end. I think everyone enjoyed Dick Uranga’s antics and will be back for the same trip next year. I think everyone that visits our web site is familiar with our SONAR program for new anglers. It has been a great success and everyone who has received a gift prior to departing on their trip has been surprised and appreciative to get a gift. We are extremely grateful to all the people that have brought us new customers. Last year’s grand prize winner, Chris Edmundson, was aboard this trip with his Shimano rod and reel combo and he had a really good time. Capt Aaron is bringing the boat out for the next two trips, so look for his blog. I will be on the beach recharging the batteries and catching up with Celia in the office. Capt Art

Hello anglers, Today we started in the area where there was excellent fishing for yellowfin tuna by several boats. Our day started with a few fish under the boat at daylight and we landed 3 bluefin tuna and 3 yellowfin tuna. We had a few jigstrikes in the morning in the same area. Unfortunately the tuna action slowed way down and we started looking for kelp paddies. We found several kelps but most of them had very little fish. It was a pretty slow afternoon with a few small yellowtail and dorado. Wow, things really changed from the day before! We landed 40 yellowtail, 30 yellowfin tuna, three bluefin tuna and seven dorado for our efforts. We are hoping tomorrow is a little more productive. The weather is great with very little wind and almost no swell. More tomorrow, Capt Art

Hello anglers, Today was a great day fishing offshore for yellowfin tuna, yellowtail and dorado. Most of the fish came from one big kelp paddie. The yellowfin tuna are in the 12-25 pound range and the yellowtail are in the same class. Great action today with most of the fish coming on live bait and several fish on the Braid slammer and a few on other heavy yo-yo jigs. There were a few fish on trolling feathers as well. We saw really good signs of the yellowfin tuna and we are excited about the next few trips. On another note if you remember my son Matthew (from working on the boat), he turns 24 years old today–time flies! Happy Birthday Matt! Capt Art p.s. There are still some open spots on upcoming trips. Don’t miss out on some great fishing.
