11 Yellowtail, 4 Yellowfin and a #147 Bluefin. Nice day for Brandon and his friends.
Nov. 11
After our previous day of wide open fishing - we had high hopes of the same on giant yellow fin tuna. The day started with Captain Tommy identifying sonar readings of big schools of tuna all around us. We fished hard all day. Kites, sinker rigs, fly line, chunked, jigged, drifted and anchored. Tommy calling out the sonar readings the whole time, ", "big tuna at 20 fathoms" or "we are surrounded by school tuna 10 fathoms to 30 fathoms". We began to doubt Tommy's sonar and guessed that it was just a screen saver image. Then, in the late afternoon, tuna started flying out of the water all around us for a 1/4 mile. 100 lb to 300 lb tuna fully coming out of water and giving us a show and taunting us once more. At the end of the day Greg, Matt and Rick caught larger tuna and kept us from getting skunked. We flushed the stomachs of the tuna and found them stuffed with pelagic crabs. The sardines, mackerel and flying fish we offered were not on their menu. We hear of a place up the line where the yellow tail are biting. We are going there now.

The San Diego out of Seaforth Landing in San Diego,CA checked in with us today:
No yellowtail for us today, even though we did stop on a few schools. Canceled for tomorrow due to lack of reservations.
61 yellowfin tuna out of four stops.
The San Diego out of Seaforth Landing in San Diego,CA checked in with us today:
Strung together a lot of short stops and ended with 45 yellowtail.
Getting a school of Yellowtail to this point is the last stage of some serious skipper sh**t. Today Capt. Matt Bralla and the guys put 149 Yellowtail on the boat.
