Good morning anglers,

We started our morning fishing large yellowtail.  We managed to capture some beauties.  

Paul S. caught this one on the Salas 6x yoyo lure. We currently have 40-100lb yellowfin jumping around the boat hoping they bite a little. We’ll check back later, wish us luck.

Good evening anglers,

We land some beautiful yellowfin tuna here this afternoon.  We ended our day fishing yellowtail.  We landed some nice looking yellowtail.  We sure hooked a lot of them but landing we are woking on landing them.  Here’s Sharon with a 72.4lb yellowfin tuna she landed on 40lb test. That’s your tackle tip of the day.

Good evening anglers,

As the day progressed action slowed down, but we were able to pick away on these big yellowtail right up until dark. The majority of the fish were about 35-40 lbs. Our biggest landed today weighed in just shy of 50lbs.

Here’s Ryan and Bryan S. with the last fish of our trip weighing in at 47.2 lbs. Bryan caught it with a mackerel on the dropper loop, and fishing 100lb.

Good evening anglers,

We had steady action on these big brute yellowtail this afternoon. We were hooking them on the dropper loop mackerel, fly line mackerel and yoyo jigs. The only way to land them seemed to be if you fished 80 or 100lb. We had heavy casualties due to the sharp rocks on the bottom here. Here’s Alan with a yellowtail he caught on the dropper loop. We’re going to try make some bait again tonight and try fish these big yellows again in the morning.

 They’re boiling all around the boat right now hopefully they keep biting. Wish us luck.

Good evening anglers,

We had a slow day of fishing this afternoon. There is good sign of this mixed grade 30-60lb fish here. It boiled around the boat for hours, but we struggled to get them to bite the hook. Most of the fish we did hook didn’t come up whole, or got away Hopefully we paid our dues here today. Here’s a 50+lb that fell victim to the tax man. We’ll check back in the morning.

Good morning anglers, 

We got to the Guadalupe Island this morning at sunrise and started seeing scattered fish right away.  It did not take long for us to find a nice school of mixed grade yellowfin tuna 30-60lbs.  We have landed a few and lost a few as of now.  They are boiling all around the boat.  We’re going to hang in tough here and wait for bite time. 

Here is Tim and Captain Armando with the first yellowfin tuna to hit the deck today.

Good Morning anglers,

With the amount of fish we saw yesterday we opted to stay local this morning and take a shot at these Bluefin tuna again.  Before the sun came up we had just enough light to see and spotted a mega school of size extra large bluefin.  We had a little shot for a few hours this morning. We hooked around 15-20 80-200lb bluefin before 8:30am. Talk about starting your day off right.  The school we stopped on was really a sight to see. They blew up all around the boat.  Early in the stop we managed to land a couple of the “smaller” models on your tackle tip of the day flat falls.  As the stop progressed we started getting bites on the fly-lined sardine.  We then proceeded to get spooled and bit off over and over again.  We were definitely out matched and under gunned.  Time for us to pack in and move on. We are traveling south to our next destination. Beautiful traveling weather were going to be looking all day on our way south today.  

Here’s Me (Captain Mike) and Ted with what was a 90lb class bluefin tuna he landed. Well most of it, this one had its tail bitten off by a mako shark.
