Trip 11: 6 day (Aug 10-16) Guadalupe Island
Dear anglers:
We have had a great morning on the 40-60lb class yellowfin tuna. They put on quite a show here early. We have definitely suffered a great number of casualties this morning but have boated our fair share of these beautiful fish. Here are Ashley and Ryan with a 60lber they tag teamed. (Editor’s note: Couples that fish together….have some good eating later!)
More from our afternoon’s efforts,

Good evening anglers,
We had very good action on school grade yellowfin tuna with some bigger ones in the mix this afternoon. They put on quite the show! We have high hopes for what tomorrow will bring. We have great weather and hope for another shot at one of these trophy-sized yellowfin. Here is Lew H. with a 70lb class yellowfin which he caught on a fly-lined sardine with 40lb test.

Trip 11: 6 day (Aug 10-16) Guadalupe Island
Good Afternoon anglers,
This morning we had some tough fishing at the island. but still managed to catch a few nice yellowfin tuna. The sharks were not kind to us, so we headed off the island a few miles and managed to put together a very nice catch.
Here is Dale B. with a 50lb class yellowfin he caught on the kite. We have beautiful weather and all day left to fish still.

Trip 11: 6 day (Aug 10-16) Guadalupe Island
Good evening anglers,
After two days of anticipation we arrived at Guadalupe Island. We were greeted early with multiple jig strikes several miles short of the island. When we finally arrived on scene around 3:30pm, we located some yellowfin tuna on the machines and promptly kicked the anchor over. We managed to hook a few with the limited amount of time we had this afternoon.
Here is Ashley M with a nice 56lb yellowfin tuna. 
We are going to stay here tonight and see what tomorrow has to offer.
