We woke up this morning on the drift. I heard Tommy doing the stop and go on his watch early in the morning meaning he was seeing schools. He woke the rest of us up bright and early and it didn't take too long before we started hooking fish. They were the 15-18 pound bluefin and they weren't biting as well as you'd think they would judging by all the fish around the boat. We kept drifting though trying the patient mode. It's a lot easier to be patient with non biting fish when the other boats aren't getting stops. After a while and a few handfuls of BFT we gave up on these fish and went searching for some new ones. It took a while but around lunch time we found a nice big fat kelp and it was an aquarium underneath. Good viewing and catching on lot's of different fish from small throwback yellowtail to small tuna and tuna up to 32 pounds and lots of dorado. Yes it's that time of year. The water warmed up considerably in the last week or so and with that came schools of yellowfin and now the dorado in numbers. We'll take um. Crowd pleaser's is what they are and you know us, we like to please crowds. After a couple hours fishing there we went searching for something new unsuccessfully so we ended up back on our kelp and caught some more dorado and a few more tuna. We're now headed for the yellowtail grounds and everyone is fat and happy and we're planning on some good pulling on big yellows tomorrow.
I ate the escolar again substituting it for the prime rib in the fajitas we had for lunch today. It was smooth sailing John and I mean that in a good way. No problems down there. The fish isn't the best fish in the ocean. The flavor is great though the texture is a bit soft. Opening day for pro football so I'll leave you with this. Go Chargers! Let's do some competing this year. My Pad's couldn't do it so now it's up to you guys. Come on now!

We were back on The Ridge today. We got to the spot a little after daylight and we found some action after a little bit of looking. We were making drifts catching wahoo and tuna. No great numbers on the wahoo. We caught one per rod. That's an average though. Not everyone caught one. For example, I believe team Oberg caught 3 or 4, and team Grella caught 5. So it wasn't a great spread but everyone had there chances. For example, team Holeman went 1 for 7 nd team Henry lost a bunch too. But when they weren't losing wahoo they were pulling on tuna. A bit on the smaller side but not too small. We were tagging the bigger ones. It was a fun and productive day I thought. But we always want more.
We left a little while after lunch toward Alijos Rocks and we'll be there all day tomorrow. We'll most likely have to leave tomorrow night though because the wind, she's acoming.
