Hey anglers, Today we fished offshore on our way to Cedros Island. The weather was great and we found a few kelp paddies with a few yellowtail on them. It was mixed-grade fish, from small realeasable fish to 18 pounds. We will arive at Cedros before daylight and have high hopes for a good day of fishing on the quality yellowtail that has been biting on a regular basis. More tomorrow, Capt Art
This 3-day trip had 29 anglers and they caught 49 albacore. The jackpot winners are: (left to right)
Anglers: We are on our way to Cedros Island. Our weather is great, just a little leftover swell and a little wind. We are going to check around offshore today and look for yellowtail on kelp patties and for any sort of tuna. We have a great group aboard, and we’re going to do our best to find some terrific fishing. Stay posted, Capt Art
Don’t forget to leave yourself some extra travel time if you are driving into San Diego from the north. The Del Mar racetrack season has started! That and other summertime beach events really has the I-5 clogged up. The other advantage to arriving early is the chance for a parking spot from a passenger coming back from a trip.
Hey anglers, Well, we had a very tough day today. We saw plenty of fish that did not bite. We stopped at least 30 times today on various meter marks, sonar marks, bait balls with fish, and had little success. Only 11 albies today. There is a good amount of fish out there but something needs to change to get them to bite. We are hopeful that in the next week or so things will get back to biting. More from our next trip–a 5-day, Capt Art

Hey anglers, Today we started our day at 55 miles from home. The morning was very slow with just a few jig strikes and no bait fish. There was some good fishing about 10 miles to the north of us but it was over by the time we got in the area. It is encouraging to know there is still a chance for a good stop or two in the morning. In the afternoon we had some action close to where we caught a few fish last night. We saw lots of bait with some fish mixed in the bait balls, and so we had some jig strikes and some bait fish. We have some first-time and inexperienced anglers aboard this trip, so our losses were high. I think we all had some fun and learned a few things. Searcher regular, Richard Yoshioka from La Palma, had a limit today so there was a chance for eeveryone to catch a fish. We ended up with 31 albacore today and last night before dark we had 6 albacore. Looking forward to tomorrow, Capt Art
