Jul 25 (Jul 23-28) 5 day Poseidon Fishing Adventures

Good evening,
We changed it up today and fished yellowtail this morning. We had some pretty good opportunity on 18-25lb yellowtail.  They put on a good show splashing around the boat.  They didn’t bite as well as we would have liked, but we scratched out a good morning.
After lunch time we took off in search of bluefin again. We are seeing incredible sign this evening.  It looks like a good set up for tonight.

Jul 24 (Jul 23-28) 5 day Poseidon Fishing Adventures

Good evening,
We saw an Incredible sign throughout the day here all day. We saw miles and miles of fish of all sizes.
We were able to drift and scratch out a few fsih throughout the day.  There were some pretty good opportunities on mostly 60-80lb fish. We have brochure weather here today, and it seems like a good set up for tonight.

Jul 22 (Jul 20-23) 3 day Limited load

Good morning,
We had a good morning!  These 25# bluefin were biting pretty good for awhile. We managed to get one stop in before it was over.
We are enjoying the calm weather and biting fish. Been a pretty fun morning.
We’re going to try catch a few trophies this afternoon before we have to go home.

Jul 21 (Jul 20-23) 3 day Limited load

Good afternoon,
 
We drove around all night last night and it was pretty clear we were off the fish.  We saw two schools at around 3 and 4 in the morning.  Since the sun has come up we have been seeing good sign of these school-grade bluefin tuna.  We tried a handful of schools before we got one to bite a little bit.  We’ve been plunking slowly ever since. It’s light-line finesse style fishing. We’ll see what the afternoon brings.

Jul 19 (Jul 16-20) 4 day Accurate Fishing Open

Hello anglers:
(We have an issue with sending photos. We’ll get them loaded when boat returns on Thursday.)
Captain Jason reported in with a better night of fishing. They got into some 25-40# bluefin tuna, plus some in the 60-120#  range.

One of the few bluefin caught the first night.

Jul 11 (Jul 9-12) Ryan Bussell and Friends Open

Good afternoon,
We are scratching up some yellowtail this morning. It’s been flurry-style and a beautiful grade of fish. Yoyo fishing and fly line sardines are working best.
We’re going to do a few cod drifts this afternoon before we head home.

Jul 10 (Jul 9-12) Ryan Bussell and Friends Open

Good morning,
We were off the fish until early this morning though we did have a few opportunities throughout the night. We’re seeing good sign this morning and are picking on big fish now. They are 100-150# bluefin.

Congrats, Ashley!

Good evening,
 We had a very long day of bluefin tuna watching. We’ve seen an incredible sign throughout the day of 25-150lb fish.  We had a few opportunities throughout the morning but by mid day, they were impossible to hook.  It looks like a good set up for tonight.

Jul 8 (Jul 6-9) Seeker Rods Open with Sophie

Good morning,
Continuing our 3-day Seeker Fishing Rods open charter, we scratched up some fish last night for the few anglers that stayed up and tried. There were some opportunities!
We’ve been plunking all morning on mixed-grade fish (30-110#, mostly 60#). Pretty fun fishing in sunny and calm weather. Enjoyable day so far!
