Good evening everyone. We departed earlier this evening for our second annual Optima charter with Garth and his best of buddies. We loaded up on some bait that doesn't look all that stellar but maybe after it settles down, they'll turn into some champions. Anyhow, we're on our way down to try our hand at some Bluefin tuna offshore and some Yellowtail on kelps. Apparently, the Yellowtail are growing a little bit, if you can locate the right kelp as one of our code boats did, and caught some 'tails in the 15-22 lb. range. Regardless, we'll be looking first thing tomorrow morning and we'll try to make a day of it. Our weather is beautiful and we're looking for more. Wish us luck.
49 yellowfin 48 skipjack. Didnβt find the right school until we were out of time, and daylight.
Captain Mike Pritchard called in this with an audio wrap up from the Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing in Mission Bay.
Today we finished with 71 Yellowfin Tuna, 8 Bluefin Tuna, a couple of Yellowtail and Dorado.
We are out on a 3.5 day charter tonight.
We have some limited load 1 day party trips available Monday-Wednesday.
Give Seaforth landing a call (619) 224-3383

Today wasn't the trip saver. Nope, that'll have to be tomorrow. There was a signal of that big yellowfin in the morning. We had a stop for a few 45-50 pounders and some jigging on the smaller yellowfin thats been around. We also had some of those late as well. The highlight of the day as would be the highlight on most any day of any trip was just before lunch time we found a beefer(that means about as big as they get)beefer school of big bluefin. We hooked about 10 or 12 of those beasts and landed 5, 75 pounds to over a 100 pounds. There were a few other schools seen today, a school of 40-60 pounders, and a school of 25-35 pounders so along with the beautiful weather we have high hopes for tomorrow.

Polaris Supreme is back on line. Good evening folks. We had one of those very rare incidents happen out here that we just dread happening. A passenger took a fall on deck and broke his femur bone during the second night of the trip. Our only option was to bring him back to San Diego so that we could get him to a hospital so he could get the care that he needed. Unfortunately we were 250+ miles south when it happened and it cost us a couple days of our trip getting him back home. When I say rare incidents I mean that it's the first and hopefully last time I have seen it happen in my 12 year career on the Polaris Supreme. We safely got him off the boat yesterday afternoon and headed back out with 2 days in the trip now to get things done. Get well Bob. All of our thoughts are with you. We are now a blue fin boat. The weather has come down beautifully and with signs of blue fin yesterday up to 70 pounds we're excited to get our day going. Just waiting for the sun to rise as I'm writing this. Wish us luck. We'll take and deserve some good luck.
Your friends on the Polaris Supreme

I just woke up and thought I'd better write this before I forget about it. Last night after our late hit we made a 5 mile move tighter to the Island in this little bay, if you would. Man o man was it good sleeping. The boat just gently rocked us to sleep. Gently. The AC was pumping and we were all beat from our day and kind of sick of the wind, so we came over here, out of the wind and fell asleep with our thumbs in our mouths. Now it's getting about time to fish. I'll let everyone sleep another hour and then it's wake up time. See you tonight.
Midday report: We left The Island around noon. It wasn't as good today as it was yesterday. It was still good, we were just hoping for a little more in a shorter time. It might be because of all the bait that's around here. I can't imagine they haven't been just stuffing there face all night and morning. i've been fishing that Island for 15 years and I haven't seen anything like it. Even the Godfather himself called it an "unbelievable" amount of bait there. And then at noon when we were looking for one more stop, all the life vanished Just like that. Poof. I didn't give it any time after that looking. We left right away. So it took us a couple hours longer then I was expecting and we were just a stop shy of what I wanted but we're still looking good on yellowtail. We saved a little room for tomorrow.
So we took off in search of tuna/dorado this afternoon, and we were unsuccessful. The ride up so far has been fine. The weather forecast looks good for tomorrow. It should be good to start and only get better throughout the day. We deserve it. The reports above in tomorrows tuna zone for us were good today. There were some productive kelps up there today. We want some.
Happy Anniversary, Renee, thanks for letting me go fishing, I love you!!!! D
