Anglers: Today was an albacore day and we just caught about 11 of them. Our trip totals are 56 yellowfin tuna, 21 yellowtail, 56 dorado, and 19 albacore. The weather is still great and we are heading for home. Next is a 1.5 day trip and we hope to get back on those albacore. Capt Aaron
Howdy anglers, Today we had some nice surprises. We had a sample of albacore again and there is a great size to them–25 to 30 lbs! We had a total of 50 fish and we feel fortunate for our efforts today. Most of the yellowfin were 22lbs and the dorado were also noticeable mentions. Were gonna try for another whack at ’em tomorrow, hoping that we found a new zone with some albacore to bring back to the docks. Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt. Aaron
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.
