I'm not sure how i feel about today. I know at 3:30 I felt real bad. Extremely frustrated to say the least. 2 of the boats we were fishing with found schools early in the morning and drifted with it most of the day scratching away at the bluefin the whole time while we drove around seeing nothing. The other 2 boats we were with connected around 1:00 in the afternoon and were gettin um, so I was feeling sad and mad. I told Mark to switch gens and broke out the volt meter to see if we had a short somewhere. I figured there had to be a reason we were the only boat not drifting. We were looking in the same water with the same machines trolling the same jigs but just not seeing it. The truth of the matter is there was nothing wrong with the boat, her captain or the crew. Sometimes your just that guy. Sometimes your front row and sometimes your nose bleed.
OK, enough wining. The day turned out just fine. At 3:30 we found a boomer school and drifted on the 25-45 pound bluefin almost till dark. Everyone caught at least one with top dog Phil boating 6 of those beauts. The weather was great in the morning but increased wind velocity throughout the day and it was pretty choppy at dark. So with the weather coming up and our bait situation worsening, we're heading down to fish for yellows and try for some macks.

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
The Tribute out of Seaforth Landing in San Diego, CA checked in with us today.
Sticking with our Instagram theme of βsex sells.β Manny Sanchez displays 2 of our 23 tuna today. Down day on the grounds today.

The ride going up last night wasn't good, although I can't say it was awful either. It was just your average windy rough ride up the line. I'm just not used to it, that's all. The weather for the most part these last couple months for me has just been so good. It doesn't matter because the weather got good again for the important part which is the fishing. And we took advantage of it. We found our dorado kelp. The dorado were small to big and they were plentiful. It was our first dorado kelp of the year. Finally. Though we've had plenty of other specie to keep us busy this year. If you know me you know I'm all about the competition so I like to make searching for kelps fun. Today I challenged Mark to a kelp off which means the person who finds the loaded dorado kelp wins. He found it and of course I couldn't be happier about it. It may be the only thing I'm glad to lose to. Of course he wanted me to tell you all about it. He finally beat me. It was the cherry on top of this wonderful trip. Another one in the books. We're headed back to the barn all fat and happy. Fat from too much eating and happy with all the fish we caught. We'll be dockside tomorrow morning at 6:30 and yes, we will be heading back out to sea. I'll be taking the LA Rod and Reel club out fishing for a couple days.
Good fishing again today in the local tuna grounds it sounds like. Let's make it one more tuna trip for the year before it's over. Our October 3rd and 6th trips are both for sure goes. Let's, and by that I mean you, make our September 26th and 29th trips a go too. Come fishing! My baby can be without her dad for another week if it means she gets those shoes she's been begging me for. 5 months old and she's already begging for shoes. Holy Toledo.
