Captain Mike Pritchard called in this morning with an audio update from the Tribute out of Seaforth Sportfishing in San Diego, CA. We are off to a good start today. We have a mix of Bluefin and Yellowfin Tuna. We have 11 Bluefin (18 to 20 pounds) and 11 Yellowfin (15 to 30 pounds). We have had good action this morning. However, the light tackle has resulted in many casulaties.
The Tribute is SOLD OUT this weekend. But we have trips fishing next week with SPOTS open. Call Seaforth at (619 224-3383 to get in on the action!
Today's picture is from yesterday's trip!

Arrive depart today. We offloaded a beautiful catch, got fuel, changed oil + fuel filters, swapped out some crew and left the dock by 10:00. We're good. We left on a very long running charter called the Heil charter. I won't go into our bait loading, I'll just say we have some bait on board. We were in the fishing grounds before 3:00 this afternoon. The couple boats that departed yesterday had some good yellow finning. When we got there it just had that "should've been here yesterday" kind of feel to it. We didn't see much. We had one long drift where we picked up 14 but other then that it didn't feel like we were going to get a hit so we rolled out of that zone. Below there didn't look much better until right around 8:00 when the sun fell we had a good old fashioned blind jig strike that resulted in a good stop. We always fish till the end over here and tonight we were rewarded. The fish bit full speed but only for a flash but it was long enough to get everyone on board at least one with many getting three or more. They were snapping. I call departure fish free fish because we weren't even supposed to be fishing. They're free. Anyways we're going to fish again tomorrow. See you then.
Oh yeah, the weather is still sooo nice. We're going to have to pay for this stretch.
