Good times were had by all on the Skipper Dang annual private charter. Light loads all week.
Oct. 13
Well we struck out on the bluefin today. It wasn't a called third strike, I mean we went down swinging but they definitely beat us today. We saw one good school in the dark hours of the a.m. that didn't stick and then found one deal that didn't react all that bitchen after daylight. We only landed five but they were beautiful fish. 35-50 pounders. Our afternoon was spent traveling down. We left that zone after lunch because we didn't have high hopes for the afternoon based on what we and the other boats had seen.
Our weather was good today. Cold, but not a whole lot of wind. We're going to be fishing for yellowfin tuna tomorrow at first light. They'll be a few of us looking around there so hopefully we get them located early.
In other news Mark tried to tell me that Steve Nash was as tall as he was and I called him out on it, bet him 20 dollars in which he agreed upon, and then I had to call my lovely wife to get her to Google it. I was right, he's 6'3" and now I'm 20 dollars richer. Here's the thing though, I spent almost 20 dollars in the phone call to win that bet so was it worth it? Absolutely. I would gladly spend more money then I'd win against Mark, he's fat, just to prove my point and make him 20 dollars less rich.
2 stop shopping in perfect fall weather. Limits of Yellowfin, 15 Mahi Mahi and 56 Yellowtail.
Captain Ryan Bostian checked in tonight with an update from the San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing in Mission Bay, CA. We are still fishing offshore everyday. The last 5 days has been exclusively Bluefin Tuna. A couple days ago we had 8. Then 13 yesterday. Today we had 16 Bluefin Tuna for 21 anglers. These fish have been a challenge to hook. A 25 pound flurocarbon outfit with a 1 or 2 sized live bait hook has been the ticket. Or you can try the same outfit with an 80 to 160 gram flat fall jig. The fish are 25 to 35 pounds. There are 100 pounders around but they didn’t bite today. Make sure you bring a heavy stick. An 80 pound spectra outfit with a 2 speed reel and a heavy flat fall.
The loads have been light. Come on out and go fishing on the San Diego.
One stop late in the day accounted for all of our tuna. We ended up with 68 yellowfin 6 bluefin 29 yellowtail 7 bonito.
