These darn bluefin let me tell ya. This morning looked so juicy. We drifted for hours on 3 different schools and caught 9. Hours. And it's not like they weren't hanging around. I mean the boat was jugged underneath. They were under us like shishkabob. 9 fish. We lost our fair share but 9 fish? With what we saw?
Mid day wasn't that awesome. We saw some but it didn't impress me. We messed around with some small yellows while we waited for things to straighten out. At 4 things did. Not right away. We saw the school and it took a while to get things going but eventually it did. We drifted for 2 straight hours catching fish. Not wide open. But fairly steady. 1-6 going. Action. Nice ones. After that drift we did it again. Again it took a while to get things going but again, it did. We drifted until dark on that one. About an hour. Same deal. Maybe a little less. 1-4 going. So it was an afternoon thing today. I'm sure glad we hung around for it.
So we head in now. We're departing tomorrow on a 5 day. What are we going to do?

Well the plan worked. We stayed tucked behind Cedros Island till 1:30 this morning. That gave things above time to settle down. The wind backed off at 10:00 last night and it was a surprisingly nice ride up this morning. It was a little herky jerky but much better than we thought it would be. We went full cruise and barely got the windows wet. Due to the nice ride, we had some time to fish this morning and we found some action. We hit up this little pinnacle and it had some 14-18 pound yellows hanging out. We made a few drifts and an anchor job and managed to scratch up more then 2 per rod. We all needed a little action. We'll be a little late getting in tomorrow but it's worth it. We deserved some action after being stuck in the lee yesterday due to the weather.
And that's it. That's the trip and that's the 2015 season for us. It's time to hang with the family and be a dad and a husband. Time for the rest of the crew to do what they do. Until February that is. Then we leave on a long one. It's also time for me to thank all our customers. Thanks for the year, and thanks for the years. It's always fun and it's always different. This year will have a special place in the old memory bank just like all the other years and it's because of most of you reading these posts. And I just want you to know, that we all appreciate what you do for us, and mostly it's as easy as coming out fishing with us. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Good evening everyone. We departed earlier this evening for our second annual Optima charter with Garth and his best of buddies. We loaded up on some bait that doesn't look all that stellar but maybe after it settles down, they'll turn into some champions. Anyhow, we're on our way down to try our hand at some Bluefin tuna offshore and some Yellowtail on kelps. Apparently, the Yellowtail are growing a little bit, if you can locate the right kelp as one of our code boats did, and caught some 'tails in the 15-22 lb. range. Regardless, we'll be looking first thing tomorrow morning and we'll try to make a day of it. Our weather is beautiful and we're looking for more. Wish us luck.
