Trip Reports

Good evening anglers,

We scratched most of the day on 10-18lb yellowtail with a large variety of other species mixed in. Late in the day we got a good shot at these yellowtail right before the sun went down. We had some excellent action here!

Yoyo, surface iron and fly-lined sardine was the way to go to get a bite. We have all smiles and high fives here. We’re going to start rolling up after dinner.

Good morning anglers,

We picked off a few yellows here in the dark on the dropper loop. We have been scratching ever since. No big hits but we’re accumulating fish as we go. Most of the fish are coming on the yoyo and surface iron. There’s lots of action here with big bass, a couple seabass and a big halibut . Brochure weather down here. We’ll check in later.

Good morning anglers,

We’ve had a very good morning here on the Ridge. Great action on the wahoo and mixed grade yellowfin tuna from 10-40lbs. Good action all morning drifting them up. Not many troll fish, mostly caught on the bait and bombs and surface irons. Excellent sign down here in the morning. The signal has kind of diminished this afternoon so we’re taking off and heading for the beach for tomorrow.

Good evening anglers,

We had a pretty great day here on the ridge. Great action on the wahoo, Good tuna fishing. Some big dorado mixed in. Beautiful weather. Today’s action made the 500 miles of travel to get down here worth it. We’re traveling up this afternoon to be in position to fish yellowtail on the beach tomorrow. Epic wahoo bite this afternoon!

Good morning anglers,

We’ve been scratching at the wahoo all morning here.  Very tough fishing here this morning but were managing to catch a few.  They are all nice ones 30-50lbs.  Very few troll fish–most of the wahoo have come from wahoo bombs and live bait.  We also had a little lunch time action on 12-25lb yellowfin.  There is some sign of that here.  We’re hoping for an afternoon hit here.

Good evening anglers
We were able to keep scratching away at the wahoo and sacked up a couple more yellowfin here this afternoon. It’s still tough to get a bite. Long drifts and picking away at them was the method here. There was quite a bit of yacht traffic this afternoon which I think that may have hampered our efforts. We’re going to try again in the morning before we start heading up.

Good evening anglers,

We didn’t get a big hit like we were hoping for when we got here this afternoon. However we did get a small sample of wahoo and some yellowfin tuna. We’re hoping for a night bite later. We’ll check in in the morning.
