Hey anglers: Today we had some pretty decent fishing for the amount of time that we had to fish kelps. The yellowtail were nice-sized and ranged up to 25lbs. We had 61 of the tag-able yellows and 4 dorado. There was a good chance to catch a few fish off of the right kelp. Fishing the right line size was important today. 30lb and up was needed to keep those yellows out of the kelp and be able to bring the fish up to the boat. We called the trip over in the early afternoon unfortunately, due to the fact that we were a good distance from home. Hope to see you on the water soon and good angling! Capt Aaron p.s. Thank you to Izorline pro-staffers Wendy Tochihara and Bob Horton for their support of this trip. See you next year!

Hey anglers, Well we had a little slower day on the water compared to yesterday. Today’s catch was 22 albies, four bluefin, two yellowtail, and one dorado. We are moving out of this area this afternoon, hoping to catch a few more this afternoon before we go for more yellowtail and dorado on kelp patties tomorrow. We are hoping to have a great last day before we have to head home. The ocean was full of life though. We saw fish that just didn’t seem interested in the food we had for them, numerous whales, several pods of common dolphin, lots of bait balls and lots of birds. Our weather is still nice–less than 15 knots of wind (which is around 17 mph for those wondering). Good angling and hope to see ya on the water, Capt Aaron

Father-Son Score

by Bill Roecker

Jason Fulton chartermastered the annual Accurate four-day trip aboard Searcher with owner/skipper Art Taylor. After the weigh-in he posed with the winners.

"We had excellent kelp paddy fishing," said Art at Point Loma Sportfishing, where he had docked to take some of the pressure off Fisherman’s Landing. Four boats arrived early August 4, creating a "dockjam."

Chad Creason of San Bernardino garnered the top spot for his 30-pound yellowtail. He got it with a sardine on a 3/0 ringed Gorilla hook on pink 30-pound Ande line. He said he used an Avet JX reel and a Calstar 755 rod.

Chad’s dad Clay Creason of Yucaipa was second for a 29-pounder, and Spencer Stoetzel of Baltimore, MD won third place for a 27-pound yellowtail.

Hey anglers, Today we went further offshore looking for some sort of tuna. We headed west of the area we were in yesterday, out in deep water. We saw lots of good conditions but unfortunately we did not see any tuna. We caught six yellowtail for the day. The weather is still great and the forecast looks good for the next week. Capt Kevin is running the next trip, so we’ll get some reports from him. Capt Art

Hey anglers, Excellent fishing today on yellowtail and dorado! All were caught on kelp patties. The majority were caught on flylined sardines, with a few caught on yo-yo jigs. Everyone had a productive day and worked really well together. That helps minimize the tangles! We have great group of guys from Washington and they had a really great day. Looking forward to tomorrow, Capt Art

Hey anglers, We had a slow day on our first day of a 4-day trip. We caught around 40 mixed fish, mostly yellowtail with a few dorado. Things changed a little today. There weren’t as many kelps with fish today as there has been the past few days. We had high hopes for today with the reports from the past two days. The weather is great and we’ll do a little catching up tomorrow. Conditions are good, with almost 70-degree blue water. More tomorrow, Capt Art
