Update:
Howdy anglers: Good evening to ya! We got a school this afternoon and it wanted to bite for us! We ended the day with some fun fishing on school size yellowfin tuna. Tomorrow we will try the coast for some yellowtail and be back out on the tuna grounds by the afternoon. We have first time lady angler Karolyn C. with her first yellowfin. Healthy looking fish.

Trip #10 (6-day trip) Aug 11-17, Day 2
Howdy anglers:
Slow morning for us here but, we managed to get a few yellowfin from 30 to 50lbs. The tackle tip for the day was (the best method for us today) was 40lb with 40lb fluorocarbon and a 1/0 J hook with a flylined sardine. We are seeing really good sign of fish around us and were hoping that it wants to bite a little. Patience is key with with fishing. We plan on staying here and hope for some action this afternoon. The weather is nice the sun is starting to come out, calm waters. Here is a couple of nice 40lb fish that were caught this Morning by John F. and Mark P. Wish us more fish in our future.

Trip #10 (6-day trip) Aug 11-17, Day 1
Howdy anglers,
We’re traveling this afternoon to a spot where we’re hoping to target some yellowtail. Our weather is so nice and it looks to stay nice for us for a few days. We’ll update the report this evening.
Update: It was a slow afternoon for us though we had a good sign of the fish. They just were not very eager to bite the hook. Ken Y. caught this nice one on 60lb and a flylined sardine.
We’re moving down to focus on tuna tomorrow. The weather is still very nice and the forecast looks great for us as well.

Hello Anglers,
This morning we are catching quality fish and being able to focus on bring them on deck. We are having fun fishing. The best chance at a bite is with 40lb test and 1/0 hooks, which makes this very challenging due to the size of the fish (biggies), but we are up for the challenge! (it is called sportfishing after all.) Wish us luck this afternoon.
Here is Dan T. and Captain Aaron with a 45lb yellowfin.
