July 19
Today went well I thought. Starting with our ride up last night. As good as it gets. Flat calm. The only swell was a long swell that would slowly, gently rock the boat. We slept like babies. In fact, I think I woke up with my thumb in my mouth. I let everyone sleep in if they chose to. We didn't start fishing until just before 9:00 in the morning.
We were pleasantly surprised with the fishing. It was good. We tried for some more yellows, for us, and to check out the grounds for future trips as well and they bit well. We kept 2-4 going the whole time until we drove away from them. "We left them biting". Our favorite thing to say out here. After that we ran up and made a few drifts for some Cod. We had the time and I had a few requests so we caught a few rockfish.
Now we're headed home. The crew's scrubbing the boat, I'm writing this, I think there may be a poker game going on, and we're just hanging out and enjoying ourselves and the beautiful ride up. The wind and swell are on our stern. That storm out there is blessing us with a lovely ride home. Its like we're riding down but we're going up. Timing is everything. Sometimes it all comes together and this trip was one of them.
So we'll be home bright and early tomorrow and of course we'll be headed back out a few hours later.
We were on bluefin and yellowfin all day but they were difficult to hook. 8 bluefin tuna from 25-80 lbs and 2 yellowfin. Most of our fish were hooked on flylined sardines on 30 or 40 lb.
~~Sept. 3
I slept in this morning. Travel day. I awoke at 5:00 and went straight to the
computer to see if we'll be bluefin fishing tomorrow or yellow-finning up. Bluefin
it is. 10 knot flags out there all day tomorrow. Nice. So we didn't fish at all
today. No reason to. We traveled through 4 other boat wakes from yesterday and
they didn't stop the boat so we weren't going to cost us tomorrows fishing time to
try and prove them wrong. I trust our code boats. The weather traveling up has
been ideal all day long. The passengers did what they do, movies, books, and
relaxation while the crew took it easy and did some chores at a reasonable pace.
We did a lot of organizing of things. We went through crates and boxes and nuts
and washers and bolts and things like that and just made sense of it all. The crew
even got around to detailing our beautiful teak rails.
The bluefin reports sounded good today so we're excited about getting up there for
a couple of days to finish up the trip. We'll either spend 2 days blue-finning or
we'll do 1 day here and go get our yellowfin on for the last day. I'm not sure.
That's what's so exciting about it all!
I may not sleep well tonight I'm so excited. Maybe it's because the 1.5 hour after
lunch nap I took and/or all the coffee I've drunken since then. Not because I'm
tired, I just love coffee. I'm kidding. I'm sure I'll sleep fine. I've been doing
this a long time.
My daughter turned 5 months yesterday. People say the time flies and they're
right. It sure does.
Tom Savage with 1 of our 3 bluefin today. We have decided to switch our run back to the Coronado Islands until further notice. Please bring a 25 lb bait rod, a 40 lb yo-yo rod if your a lure guy donβt forget your jig stick. Who knows we may even see bluefin at the islands soon. Passports required.
The water at the Coronado Islands has gotten cold and dirty. We have spent the last 2 days enjoying some excellent bottom fishing in 200-400 ft of water. We are keeping tabs on everything in our range. For all you bottom fishing lovers. Come out soon. Conditions are changing fast and as soon as we feel there is a good chance of consistently catching gamefish. The rockfish will go on the back burner again.
