Trip #15 (1.5 day trip) Aug 27-29, 2018, day’s end
Good evening anglers:
This afternoon was a little slow on the tuna grounds, but we did have a couple of stand-outs. The first belongs to Garrett Shiroma who caught a nice dorado. 
And second is Todd Adamson who caught his first striped marlin. He caught it on a flat fall and 40 lb line. Congrats to Todd!
We want to say thank you to Let’s Talk Hook-up for a great trip and all the giveaways.

Trip #15 (1.5 day trip) Aug 27-29, 2018
Good afternoon Anglers:
Reporting from the boat on the Let’s Talk Hook-up trip. This morning, we have had great action on school size yellowfin tuna and skipjack. Seas are nice with a great breeze. Great way to beat the heat inland.Tackle tip for today 20 to 25 lb line and a 2/0 Owner hook, with Coltsnipers and flat falls are very effective. Here is a nice shot of Jacob and John with their yellowfin. Until later tight lines.

Host Dave D. joined 27 anglers to get offshore and into some tuna action. He brought a load of tackle and clothing to give away, and some Shimano rods/reels to share. Wish them luck!
Trip #14 (3 day trip) Aug 24-27, day 3, L.A.S.S.
Hello anglers,
Our day started off great with steady action on yellowfin and skipjack tuna. We were seeeing plenty of fish and they were responding to the trolling lures.
After lunch we stopped on a couple of spots and had good fish around us, and then a sea lion showed up on both occasions and spoiled the party. It has been very slow since then unfortunately. The ladies are still having a great time and the highlight for this afternoon has been Chef Roger’s sashimi and poke spread. There were fish donated for the cause and it was a hit.
Here is a photo of some happy gals with tuna from this morning.

Trip #14 (3 day trip) Aug 24-27, day 2, L.A.S.S.
Hello anglers,
We ended today with a nice stop on yellowfin tuna! Everyone had an opportunity to land a few. Live sardine was the primary method for success. All the ladies had a great time this afternoon. 
Here is Rene, Sunny and Candy with their yellowfin tuna. We decided to spend the night and try for some more tomorrow.

Trip #14 (3 day trip) Aug 24-27, day 1, L.A.S.S.
Hello anglers and anglerettes,
We departed on our annual L.A.S.S. (Lady Angler Searcher Special) today! We got some nice bait at the receivers and we headed to the Coronado Islands, hoping for some yellowtail action. We saw some yellowtail and landed a few with some bonito too. It was a good chance to “wet a line,” get everyone rigged correctly and be familiar with all the tackle details. Here is Izmir M. with a yellowtail landed using a live sardine and 25 pound Izorline. And check out her Seeker Athena rod!
Someone is in their happy place!
We are headed south to try for yellowfin tuna tomorrow. Wish us luck!
