Hi friends. A wrap-up of our full day and a morning down here is one that makes any angler giddy. One reason and one reason only can draw out the best and worst in some anglers -- wahoo. We had some of the better wahoo fishing we've had in a few years that I can remember and as the day progressed, they just kept getting bigger. We had ourselves a really fun day down here and in the afternoon time, we had a pretty decent sign of that better tuna, boiling mere feet from the boat rambled up some excitement in us.
Two problems. One, was the lack of current. Two, was the sharks. We had to get creative to hook one and you had to, as Drew puts it "leave your purses in your staterooms" and pull on those fish. Drew had to eventually lead by example and landed a beauty of a tuna on a scad chunk. Inspirational. Although, we only landed one tuna of size that evening, the wahoo bite from the hours prior really had spirits high. We tried to repeat our catch this morning but it was clear that we did a good job of catching the ones that were here. Hopefully, a few more nests move in for our code boat to experience the same type of fishing we had.
At around 1000 hours, we had to begin our journey home that will take us a full day and a half. Normally, I'd be somewhat pumped for travel days but I finished Suzanne Collins "The Hunger Games" too quick (my goodness, Katniss, love Peeta!) and the second book of the trilogy isn't on the boat (damn you, Shawn!). Kinnicut has the third but I hear that the third one is lame. Ugh, rather than reading a good book and napping, I'll just have to do some work to pass the time.
With that, our weather was beautiful all day but is now a little windy and bouncy. Nothing crazy, it's no bronzing weather though. Can't have flat calm and sunny for a week straight, I guess. We'll report our ETA tomorrow night. See ya.

P.S. Before I go, I have a couple of things that I learned today, thanks to Gunny.
1) Gunny is deathly afraid of crocodiles and alligators.
2) Every black man in horror movies dies first. Gunny has strong evidence to support this. I had no idea.
P.S.S. Kris Victorino says hello to his daughter, Nicole.

Good evening folks. Turn around day today. In and out. Unload, fuel, cherish baby, load, load and go. That's how it goes down. The bait receivers was fun. Turns out all that rain we got may have effected the sardine we get there. It's speculation but things weren't right. We got some bait though. Some good sardine and some good mackerel. Yellowtail bait. Tommy is back on board for this trip and he's decided to start off tailing tomorrow. We're going to tail our butts off. We'll see how it goes tomorrow but we most likely will get our tuna on the day after.
Getting to know your crew: I've told you Mark is trying to bring his weight down. Well Justin is in the same mode so I had an idea. They're both throwing 50 bucks down. He who loses the most weight by October 1, or the closest date we have a scale to October 1 takes the money. Now that's a battle. We have a couple of hungry crew members for sure.
My rivals are on board this trip. Many San Francisco Giant fans. Uugh. It just so happens that a 3 game series between them and my Pads start tonight. I'm actually listening to the game now. 4-2 Pads in the 7th. Now I know this is a fishing blog but it's a travel day. You love it anyways. I'll talk fishing tomorrow.
and go Pads!
The Scripps Ranch Old Pros offshore charter enjoyed plenty of cold beers and beautiful weather. We were able to land 16 yellowtail and 28 bonito.
Captain Ryan Bostian checked in tonight with an update from the San Diego out of Seaforth Sportfishing in Mission Bay, CA. We are still fishing offshore everyday. The last 5 days has been exclusively Bluefin Tuna. A couple days ago we had 8. Then 13 yesterday. Today we had 16 Bluefin Tuna for 21 anglers. These fish have been a challenge to hook. A 25 pound flurocarbon outfit with a 1 or 2 sized live bait hook has been the ticket. Or you can try the same outfit with an 80 to 160 gram flat fall jig. The fish are 25 to 35 pounds. There are 100 pounders around but they didn’t bite today. Make sure you bring a heavy stick. An 80 pound spectra outfit with a 2 speed reel and a heavy flat fall.
The loads have been light. Come on out and go fishing on the San Diego.
6 stops worth of picking and scratching accounted for 69 Yellowfin Tuna, 18 Dorado, 57 Skipjack Tuna and 147 Yellowtail. A 20 lb bait rod and a 40 lb bait rod is all you need.
Fishing reports for delaware surf are updated each week, usually by Thursday morning. The reports are compiled by an outside contractor who receives the information from bait shops, marinas and fishing guides.
