Summer - Fall 2020

Nov. 1, 2020

We had a successful yet hard earned night of Bluefin fishing for our jackpots. Lots of winding and grinding in order to get any payoff. Good weather for most of the night.
 

Oct. 30, 2020

Heading up after a morning of yellows and afternoon of wahoo.  Maybe find a few trophy Bluefin to settle the jackpots.
 

Oct. 29, 2020

Nice day on the wahoo and quality yellows.  Great weather and conditions are improving.
 

Oct. 28, 2020

First couple of days brought us nice grade of yellowtail and dorado. Looking forward to our day at Alijos Rocks tomorrow.
 


 

Oct. 24, 2020

We fished kelps and got a few more wahoo.  Finished up on dorado and moved up the line for the evening.  Ended the day with good grade of yellowtail.  Nice day of fishing.
 

Oct. 23, 2020

Another night of yellowfin tuna and yellowtail on the anchor. Wahoo picked up a bit today with more chances, a better grade and a few trophies landed on the troll.
 

Oct. 22, 2020

Last night we had a steady pick on decent grade yellowfin tuna. By midnight the guys were exhausted and called it a night. In the morning we picked away at a few more tuna before heading off on a Ridge run for wahoo.  Pretty lean on the wahoo here but did managed a few for our efforts.
 

Oct. 21, 2020

We had a nice day on the Ridge for tuna and dorado. Not much on the wahoo. Hopefully tomorrow our chances will improve. Great weather and calm seas.
 


Oct. 9, 2020

We leave tomorrow on another 8 day trip. Looking forward to what’s in store on the New Moon. Hopefully this week we see more chances on the wahoo. It was tough fishing on the wahoo this week. We did manage a dozen of them between the Rocks and the ridge. Unfortunately we had to cover a lot of area for the chances we had.
 

 

Oct. 1, 2020

We found a nice couple of kelps with really nice dorado . We kept working up and will be fishing Dorado again tomorrow before we head home.
 

Sept. 30, 2020

We started the morning with a few nice yellows. it never developed into much with waves of Bonito invading the shallows. Sal with this nice 34 pounder on the Yo-Yo jig
 

Sept. 29, 2020

Tomorrow the weather looks real nice and we have plans to look for kelps for Dorado and maybe wahoo. We are headed for a body of warm clean water and have high hopes
 

Sept. 28, 2020

Today we saw more chances at wahoo on the outside but nothing to go with them. The sharks took the yellowtail option off the table. Headed back into the ridge for tomorrow . Hoping for some action on school size tuna and yellowtail. Of course hoping for a few wahoo.
 

Sept. 26, 2020

The first couple days brought some school size yellowfin with small ridge grade yellowtail and a few wahoo pretty tough on the ridge right now.

 

Sept. 24, 2020

Today is our first day of travel on the Pelagic 8 day trip.
So far nice weather and great food.

A little seminar this morning on fishing the ridge and now rigging.

Great raffles so far.
Sonny is doing the work on raffles and giveaways that includes gear for the trip.

Bob Cherry was awarded this wahoo coffee mug for his 49 years of wahoo efforts Thanks Sonny

Chef @Foodbyboom brought back Chicken and Waffles this morning at the Ridge.

Andrew Cates posing with an evening finisher on BlueFin,
 A lot of looking finally paid off to finish the Phenix Rods trip
Thanks again guys

 

Sept. 14, 2020

Not much for wahoo on the Kelps but we did get our trolling jackpot out of the way. The dorado were very nice though. You did have to be selective. The yellows have been nice with great top water action fishing in shallow water

 

Aug. 29, 2020

We were fortunate enough to find a couple schools of jumbos that wanted to cooperate. Everybody was able to get a nice fish on the kite. All fish were over 100lbs with 3 cows and 1 super. Great day with great people.


Aug. 20, 2020

Great fishing to finish up Larry Browns back to back three day trips. We had openings on these two trips and ended up for those who missed out, missed out big time . Maybe next time


Aug. 14, 2020

Had a nice day today on Yellows. Anchor fishing for these nice fish was challenging.

We will be in at 6:30 and will be leaving on another three day trip tomorrow

Aug. 6, 2020

Nice school tuna in the morning

We left on our annual Bluefin Jim memorial 6 day trip. we dragged our feet and made a short stop in the local grounds and then another stop this morning for some smaller grade yellowfin. With the weather up we decided to head down and will be fishing tomorrow afternoon on the ridge. A little behind on time but hoping to recover tomorrow.

8 day highlights

July 2, 2020

Offshore the last few days. Nice grade of Yellowfin tuna and Yellowtail. Fly line live bait fishing at its finest. Haven’t landed a Bluefin yet but we see a good amount around. Wish us luck

We found some Bluefin tuna and went into a plunker

June 29, 2020

Typical early summer Alijos Rocks yellowtail fishing today.
The consistency of high quality fish
is hard to find elsewhere.
Making a move tonight to position
ourselves for more variety for the rest of the trip.
Excellent day.

June 28, 2020

Great start to the trip this morning. Arrived at our first destination with a bingo on wahoo and trolled up a few more. Very encouraging sign of things to come. Got the anchor down after the wahoo got sore. We were greeted by these giants. Dropper loops and yo-yo jigs with heavy line enabled us to land these home guard yellowtail. Most of the fish were in the 30lb range with a few pushing 40lbs. Going to spend the night and see what tomorrow holds.

 


June 23, 2020

Arrived home from our 1.5 day trip with some quality Bluefin tuna.
Had a outstanding opportunity yesterday morning but due to light line and
under gunned outfits we didn’t have much to show for.
We got to experience so great battles but the fish got the better of us.
After licking our wounds and re rigging with the proper gear we were able to land
some 100lbers and this 220lb cow Bluefin tuna.

We are headed back out on a 8 day trip on Friday and have a few spots open.

Good morning everybody! We are on a 1.5 day trip at the moment.
So far we have 1 bluefin aboard with a few hanging still.
Lost about a dozen fish so far. Lots of fish on us
let’s see if we can keep the ball rolling.

The 1.5 day was a great success with Bluefin Tuna in the morning . Then ,Yellowtail , Yellowfin and Dorado from lunchtime on. We had a chance to do the tuna shuffle and then do some paddy hopping. Making for a great variety for 1.5 day fishing.
