When we go offshore on these trips we are basically looking for 1 good school. 1 good bluefin school if itβs in the right mode will stick with the boat all day and provide plenty of action. With that being said, today we saw 4 nice schools but only managed to land 1 tuna.

Weather took a turn for the worse. Today it was darn right sloppy
looking for tuna. Although there was fair signs of 25-35 lb tuna, it
wasn't what we were looking for. We were on what little sign there was
of 200 lb tuna most of the morning, but it didn't want to bite. Scott
caught and released a 110 pounder and Tom lost one well over 200 lbs.
One other boat picked up two over 200 lbs., otherwise that was the only
sign of cows seven boats had for the day. The water has cooled off
quite a bit. Otherwise there is still plenty of bait around. We are
going to bust a move tonight. We will be traveling two more days. Oh
yea, lunch was bar-b-que beef, hors d'oeuvres more sushi and sashimi and
dinner was Chilean sea bass in a mango salsa with fresh jalapenos and
cilantro. Man that was good. I had two helpings myself!
Thanks!

We arrived at the Island around 1 pm. We did a lot of searching before we got the anchor down and began to fish. Immediately we began seeing fish boiling around and on the sonar. However bites were few and far between. We did land a couple larger models but it did not do justice to what was around.
Hopefully they want to bite tomorrow.
Here we have Jim starting us off with a nice Yellowfin Tuna.

Capt Ryan checked in from the San Diego to report that they finished yesterday's trip with 111 Yellowtail. We got a lot on the yoyo iron as well as the surface iron and flylined baits. Make sure you bring all your Yellowtail gear to be prepared, a 40 lb rig, a 25 lb bait rod and a surface iron rod. We are online everyday and the weather looks good for the next few days, give the landing a call at 619-224-3383 and make your reservations.
