Royal Polaris Returns from a 10day - Tuna

Went down to the Docks last Sunday AM and caught the group unloading from a 10 day trip. Found this special guy with a shaved head and found out he said "If I get a fish over 100lb I will shave my head" well you guessed it.. He got a 190lb YFT (Yellow Fin Tuna) Zack is 13 and only weights 90lb himself. But what a fish. Check out all my pictures on my Smugmug link. Just click on the photo above. I also have a link on the side to a lot of my trips from Tuna Fishing as well as other kinds of fishing photos - Webshot Link

El Gato Dos 6 pack

Went out last weekend on a local boat, the El Gato Dos out of Seaforth Landing. This is a nice 6pack that I had always seen but never been on. Check another boat off the list. Great boat and great crew. Brian (Capt) and John (1st Mate) did a great job putting us on the fish and working hard to find us fish. Started out early, left the dock at 4AM to make the rock pile just south of the islands. But everyone else had the same idea for a Sat. morning. Counted more than 50+ boats. But still got 4 yellows and some nice Cudas. But the bite shut down early with all the preasure, so we moved due west to see if we could find a few paddies. About 5 -6 miles west of the islands we came on a 200lb Marlin and got him to chase the jiggs. He hit one and the battle was on, for about 30 seconds... This guy had plans on going south and he spooled me in before I had a chance to even pull on him. The reel was straight mono and he was taking it all. He gave us a few parting jumps with the jigg hanging out the side of the bill as he headed south. Note to Brian, one word "Spectra".... We moved on and came across a few large whales and metered some fish deep, but could not get them to come up and play. Headed back toward the islands to see if we could find the yellows in the middle ground. On the way back we spotted a small paddy and trolled by with a large yellow hitting the Marlin jigg. He put up a good fight and came in at 23.8lb. tried a few other paddies with mixed results, hooked up but the broke off in the paddy on us. So it was close to 2PM and stopped a few more spots but could not find anyone who wanted to play and we called it a day. Total for the gang was 5 Yellowtails and 4 Cudas, 1 Marlin hook-up.

Back from Castro's - 2 days of fun and fishing

http://outdoors.webshots.com/slideshow/560274637rTxQvT

Well got back from Castro's Sunday night, the boarder crossing was helllllll.... 4 hours in line to get across... Note to self...Don't come back on Sunday again.... Well got out of town on Friday afternoon, picked up new friends Jim and Dillon and headed out for the weekend.

Arrived at Castro's about 7pm and got settled in with a little dinner and set up the rigs for the morning. Planned on having 8 total but found out late that 2 had been a no show. So 6 people and 2 boats would have to work. No problem, had Oscar booked on day one and was ready to go hunt down the White Seabass (WSB). Got up at 5 AM and headed out at 7AM. We started out making bait and hit a few boils but only hooked a couple of young WSB about 1-3Lb. Heard a report that they were biting south at Colonet and made a B-line down the coast. Spotted lots of bait balls and some boils but could not get a bite. Started working on the bottom and started to fill up the cooler fast with Reds and Lings as well as the assorted rock cod. Even hooked up on a 4ft Thresher but only had it on 25lb test and could not get it in the boat before the line was cut. We still had a great time and worked the area hard. Made a few stops on the way back up the coast but still could not get the WSB or Yellows to bite. I did manage the big fish of the day, a 11lb Ling, that was fun. Back at the camp we did see another party had landed 2

WSB, one was 34lb and the other was 42lb. So they are down there we just could not find the hungry ones. We did make plans to out on Sunday as well and we hoped for the chance to get our target then.

Day 2 - Got up at daylight and headed out with Pancho and headed south as well. Bait was not as thick this morning and Pancho did not have a bait well to hold them in, so it was catch re-pin them on and re-cast them out. We did see our prize once, as we were cruising along this 40-50lb WSB was just swimming along side of us. He had to be on more than 4 ft down and 4 ft out from the boat. As we stopped for him, he turned and burned and that was it. Did spot more life but only could manage bottom fish that morning. Still had a good time as always down at Castro's. Our other boat did better, Daryle and Ellis and Miguel managed to get a Thresher as well as a 13lb Ling and a Bonita as well as the assortment of Rock Cods.

So between the 6 of us we filled 2- 100 gallon coolers with cleaned fish and headed out of town by 4pm for the drive home. Should have left earlier, but the 3 hour drive took 8 hours instead. Line at the tolls and did not get to TJ until 8 and then had to go to the Otay broader to cross back into the US. 4 hours in line, did not get back home till midnight. The trip recap was:

Great time at Castro's as always.

Oscar is the best capt down there.

WSB are the hard ones to catch, but they are down there.

Make sure your foot is on the tire before you get out of the boat... Ouchhh ..

Don't leave on Sunday, stay the extra day and take your time going back on Monday.

I will be posting the link to the complete set of photos in the next day.

Link is posted and a slideshow is added here as well.

Heading South of the Boarder this weekend

Going down to Castro's Fish Camp, it is a fun little spot just south of Ensenada in Baja. Great rock fish and WSB and Yellowtail sometimes. I am hoping to get on some of the big WSB (White Sea Bass) if you don't know the code.. Last year I got my first one down ther around the same time. But they are know as the "Ghost". I will give an update when I return, there are photos from other trips to Castro on my Webshot site, check out the other links.

Cool Tuna,

Tiny's 4 days of Hell on the Vagabond

Well went out on the yearly trip, 4 days with the Tiny's Fishing Group. This was one for the books, saw so many fish and could not hook up. I think we have caught all the stupid tuna and only the smart ones are around now. 4 days of looking at fish and could not get them in the boat. But we weren't the only ones, the whole fleet had the same issues. I will post photos later but not many to show. The trip was fun on the Vagabond, as always a great boat great crew and good times with the gang.

Well here is the photos from the trip. Check them out on Webshots : Tiny's Vagabond 2007 Trip

Big "D" goes fishing without Me!!!!

Well Sat. AM I am calling Big"D" trying to get him to met me at the trackel shop so I can get my broken rod replaced. No answer on the cell on answer at home. I don't hear back from him till Monday AM. Come to find out he went fishing without me..... I guess it was pay back for not going with me on the BD charter. Oh well he goes out on a private boat, a guy he works with and soon realized why he needs to stick to the charter boats. It was just a little rough and it kicked his butt. They only managed 2 Albies but it looks like he had a good time. Here is the link to the posting on Bloody Decks.

Recap from Dominator Trip - Another game of Hide And Seek

Well did not do so well on the last trip. Went out with the Bloody Decks Charter on July 6-8th on the Dominator out of Seaforth Landing in San Diego, Ca. Had a good time with the BD guys and 1 gal. Kevan from Noah's Tackel was the charter master and did a great job putting it all together. Food and drinks on the house and Kevan kept everyone up beat dispite the slow bite. There were 25 us on the trip and we only managed 42 fish, I only managed to get 1 on the boat. I did have a few more bites but could not manage to get them on board. Here is the link to the Bloody Decks fourm. You can also check out the photos on my Webshot page, the link is listed here as well.

Albies are HERE - Tuna in So. Calif.

Here are the HOT GPS spots for the fish. This was off the 976-tuna site.

*Yellows on kelps too*If you don't get bit, go west until you find the dirty water and then go east until you are back in the clean water. The BFT will pile up there.*Work hard to look for eyeball fish*Stay out of the dirty water if you finf it. Best to look back at the boat wake to see if the water is clean (purple) or dirty, offcolor. You want to work the edge of the dirty water on the clean water side of the break. If you find dirty water, go east until you run out of it. (This water moves around a lot so pay attention)Awesome bluefin tuna fishing here on Friday and it might just hold up to the anticipated boat pressure. The BFT are from 20 to 65 pound so bring some heavy mono like 40 to 60 pound. Awesome day here!

Several big schools of BFT up here too today with some very good fishing with mixed albacore. It gets you away from the crowd a bit and gives you somewhere to go if the fish don't bite up above. Nice water here.

3 Days on the Sea Adventure 80

Took a trip on the Sea Adventure 80, June 14th went out looking for the Tuna Southwest out of San Diego, Ca. USA.

Day one we started out about 70 miles south west of San Diego in perfect water, clean and 64 degrees. Found a few paddies with a few Yellowtails on them. Spent the rest of the day checking empty paddies and trolling with no luck. The water was perfect and there was no reason the fish where hiding.

Day2 - We headed to San Martine Isle and did some Rock fishing and looking for the yellowtail. Found some good high spot just off the isle. But with the red-tide in the area and the water temp all over the chart we moved back off shore for the final day. We did have a nice show of whales in the area and saw plenty of life, just nothing to catch.

Day 3 - started out at grey light and hooked a few Boneheads and Yellows but still could not find the tuna and most of the paddies had nothing on them. But it was still a good trip and the crew of the Sea Adventure did all they could to put us on fish.

The Crew - Terry - Capt. and Scott, Joey, Eagle Eyes and of course Hank (Chef) did a great job and made sure we all caught fish.

Check out a report on the Bloody Decks site: http://www.bloodydecks.com/forums/offshore-reports-southern-california-usa/73525-3-day-search-tuna.html

Update on Oarfish

I found this on story on the Baja-Mex fish reort. I was able to contact Barb & Ron Albright who found the fish out in front of there home down in Baja. Here is what Barb reported to me on the find of this rare fish.

One of our friends was walking on the beach he sees this LARGE thing, he is just staying with us. He has no clue what it is but thinks it should be back in the water.. It took him about 5 minutes to get it turned back to sea.
Then we see it, all the neighbors came out at that time. There are only 7 homes here so it wasn't a huge crowd. A couple of the guys got into the inflatable to go out to see what was happening. They could tell it wasn't going to live to long. They jumped into the water with the Oarfish, trying to get it turned back to shore. It took another 15 minutes to get it to shore. They were so gentle with it not wanting to hurt it any more. We figured it was around 150 lbs and about 14 feet long minus a tail that is. The three guys holding it is Troy Tinney, Steve Lawerance, and Mike Shaw.
We contacted Palmas de Cortez to see it they wanted it. They were thrilled to get it, that is where it's at right now. I do know that Scripps had been contacted but not sure what will happen there. They would like to have it but it's here in Baja so that might not happen.
The colors were so fantastic it wasn't like anything I have seen before. It was still alive on shore but you could tell it wasn't going to make it. This we felt was a once in a life time thing, to see something this beautiful coming up from the sea..........

I have saved a set of the best photos to my site on webshots as well as I have posted the link to the complete set on Barb's album as well.

Grande Trip last weekend

Well we went out last weekend on the Grande for a 2 day trip. The plan was to go down south and do some rock cod fishing but with the weather we changed the plan and stayed close to the Coronado Islands for the 2 days. The Yellowtails had made a showing earlier in the week and we tried to work them for the 2 days but it ended up not as wide open as we had hope. I did manage to get a nice one but ended up 2nd in the jackpot. The Boneheads were hitting and we did manage a few rock fish as well but the wind and high swells turned off the bite. Had a good time with 20 guys on the boat and the crew made the best of it. The Grande captain "James" did all he could to put us on fish and the food was great, thanks Nick. I will post pictures of the trip this weekend on my Webshots and add the link as well. Glad to see some Blood Decker's on board as well.

Next trip Planed is June 14th, on the Sea Adventure 80 for a 3 day. Still might have some openings, call H&M to find out.

Tuna Season Coming up

Hello all,

Spring is the time to have all your fishing trips booked.. Well you should have them booked. I have 2 booked already and getting info on 2 more. If you would like to go on a trip or if you have open spots that need to get filled - Low-lifes who backed out on you-, drop me an email and I will help you get on a trip or fill a trip. I also make trips down south to Baja that I can help you out with. There is some great rock fish just down the coast. One my favorite spots is, Castro's Fish Camp. Check out the photos on my links.

My Trips:

1. 6-14-07 - 3 days on the Sea Adventure 80 - Out of H&M Landing - Point Loma.
There are still openings for that trip, contact me or the Landing direct.
2. 7-26-07 - 4 days on the Vagabond - Out of Fishermens Landing - Point Loma.

I have 2 trips planned for Castro's in August and Sept. As well as a Spring trip soon, if we can get a room.

Also working on a Winter trip, for the Big Tuna (Cows). No Dates yet.

Spring Fishing

Well Spring is here and it is time to get your gear in shape for the upcoming summer tuna bite. Get that new line on the reels and tune up the reels and check those guides on the rods. Go through the tackle box and check the hooks and jigs. Here's a few tips to use this season.
1. Put some Baking Powder in the tackle trays with the hooks. It will keep them from rusting.
2. Go to the pet store and get some air hose for the fish tanks. Cut it in 1/2 in. segments and use them as hook protectors for the jigs.
3. Take a piece of 1/2 in. wooded dwole and get 2 tennis balls. cut the tennis balls with an X on opposite sides and use it as a line spool holder.
4. If you need to remove line from your reels, that a water bottle and put a bolt thru the cap, with teh bolt extending out. But the cap back on the bottle and attach it to a drill. Now tie the line to the bottle and use it to wind the line on to the bottle.
5. to make sure your guides are smooth and have no nicks, use a panty hose and run it thru the inside of the guides. If they snag you have nicks that could cut or wear down your line. (Replace the guides)

I will post photos of these tips later this week.
