Hi friends. Tough day on the Bluefin grounds for us. We got on a spot around breakfast time and boated a kill box full of those school-sized Bluefins but after that, we never found anything worthy of our time and effort. With that, we bailed from the area and made a move to lower latitudes. The rest of our day was spent hitting various kelp paddies for mostly "neck tie" Yellowtail but we also found ourselves in a couple of stops on Common Dolphin for some 18 lb. Yellowfin tunas that hit the trolling feathers. All in all, it wasn't quite what we had hoped for but with the great weather we had going for us we gave it our all and the gang kept in high spirits throughout our day.
With that, we're headed down to do some Yellowtail fishing tomorrow. We'll see what happens. We'd like to get outside and get on some of that Yellowfin tuna that is biting a little bit but timing wise hitting the yellow's first fits in better. We'll chat with you tomorrow and have a fine evening.
P.S. Jed would like to tell his mom hello and that he wants the meatloaf now. He'd also like to tell Rachael hello and that he'd like your meatloaf too. Ma, the meatloaf. He wants it now.
27 pass. 3 bluefin tuna at 135 lbs, 132 lbs and 80 lbs. 2 yellowtail. Had a couple shots at trophy’s. Sinker rigs on 50 lb with a 6 oz torpedo and 150-250 gram Flatfalls on 50 or 60 lb was the best today. A 40 lb flyline outfit is also recommended. Two speed reels that are at least a 12 size will increase your chances drastically. Seaforth Sportfishing has two speed reels for rent.
Thank you all for fishing with us this fine year! It was one for the books! Can’t wait to see what 2019 holds

We're going to go ahead and chalk this one up as a travel day. That's pretty much what we did today. Starting last night. And it was a rough one. As soon as we got a couple hours northeast of the stones things got a bit windy and the boat started to rock. Not good sleeping weather. We got through it though. Even Chef Mike got breakfast out without too much whining this morning. Things started to smooth out a couple of hours prior to arriving to our fishing hole. Our fishing hole didn't prove to be very productive though. So we traveled up. That's something you have to do on these longer trips when you fish the Rocks or the Ridge. It's a long way down there. So we caught a few wahoo on our travel day.
Unfortunately the weather picked back up this afternoon and we've been scooping waves over the house steady since 3:00 or so. Right now I turned it down swell for dinner because we have a couple hours to kill. We're going to head back up to our tuna/wahoo honey hole from the beginning of the trip and hope for good weather. Just two days left to fish on this trip.
14 yellowfin tuna and 5 bluefin tuna. Once again, unbelievable amount of tuna in our zone. Most of the fish are strung out on tiny chovies making them very difficult to hook. A dedicated flyliner with 25 lb has a chance at a yellowfin. A dedicated flatfall or sinker rig fisherman with 50 lb has a chance at a bluefin.
