I think I'm happy with today. Another dorado kelp sure would have been nice though. When I told the other boats we were fishing with what we caught today, they all said good going on your day so I guess I can't complain.
We started off at San Clemente Island yellowtail hunting. It was pretty darn slow first thing. We gave it a while staying patient but we could only take so much, so we explored. For nothing. By mid morning I was concerned I'd be giving the Jackpot money back. No cause for worry though. We went back to our morning spot and the handful of other boats that were chilling there bailed out so we tried it again. We stayed steady for a while catching yellers. Mostly smaller ones though but with a sprinkling of nice ones. It quit biting at lunch so we went looking for a dorado kelp. We found one. It had a great big ball of flats on it. Nice ones too. Some would call them !@#$ slappers. It could've hung around longer but we caught a couple per rod while they were around. We also caught a wahoo. Perhaps the first wahoo this boat has ever caught in American waters. I'm willing to bet good money on it.
And that was pretty much our day as far as catching goes. We fished more. We tried our yellowtail honey hole again but it didn't work out. I think we planned it out good though. We fished a lot. Not a whole lot of long periods of driving like you can get on straight offshore days. We'll be in tomorrow and I'm not sure when we're coming back out. That all depends on you. Whether or not you go 1.5 day fishing with us. Regardless we'll be back out Nov. 8 on a 10 day. Which by the way, you can still book on that son of a gun too.
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.
Managed 4 nice Bluefin and Yellowfin in a less than ideal sea state today
One of the things that makes these fish so special is the fact that they are challenging. Growing up in San Diego, I never would have thought it would be possible to catch a 100 pound tuna and sleep in your own bed. Today the special opportunity continued as we landed 3 bluefin. 2@ 75 lbs and 1 @ 156.
61 yellowtail. Never had the big blow out we were looking for but scratched a day out on a handful of kelps.
