Our full day trip was turned into a 1/2 day trip due to rough seas. We did however get a couple of good shots and ended with 28 yellowtail. Looking forward to spending an entire day on the grounds tomorrow.

Our weather is still great. Tomorrow we our on our way to do some Island fishing. Wish us luck.
Thanks for checking in. Tommy and the crewReally wanted to bite today. Limits for passengers and crew, then we released them for an hour. Yes, we actually had to let Bluefin go.
The old adage βIβd rather be lucky than goodβ was the story for us today. Before we even fired up the Binos our autopilot found us a kelp patty that kicked out 66 yellowtail (12-25lbs). After our kelp the weather kicked up substantially making it very difficult to work. We did however see some tuna but did not get a bite. A 40 lb flyline setup was the best today.

Not much to report from us today. It was a pretty uneventful day. We traveled all morning until after lunch when we arrived to the Islands, and we never saw a yellowtail. It was dead as can be at this place. We took the tour, well as much as we could in a few hours, and ended up back here in the lee. We were and still are catching calico bass and things. We did hook something big, a yellow or a big halibut or even a seabass, but we'll never know because the hook straightened out right before we could see it and the fish got away. And that's it. We're going to try and keep our anchor hung right here and see what kind of conditions we have here in the morning for our last day of fishing. As soon as the wind backs off enough for a tolerable ride offshore Tuesday morning, we'll be on our way home.
June 28
We found some action early this morning on a kelp with some yellowtails. Mark found it but I don't think I can give him credit for it. "twelve oclock, a trash can lid. Oh I lost it. oh nine o'clock. ile in a half. No, half mile. Two trash can lids. Oh I lost it". The second time he lost it he looked ion the wrong side of the boat so i found it and it was a good sized kelp. Oh Mark. Anyhow, everyone on the boat got to pull and tug on a little yeller and tag one or two if they chose. We hit it a couple times before getting in tuna mode. Things looked very similar to yesterday. Many spots of yellowfin around, just no meat to it. I'm talking 6-12 fish schools mostly and they weren't very interested in us.We worked very hard for just a handful of fish. The good news is it wasn't boring as I think I mentioned last night. The fish kept us on our toes. Good sight seeing. Good fishing, bad catching. Oh well. We still had a good time out here on our first trip of the year and we have our passengers to thank.
Please excuse the spelling. I'm sitting back in my chair as I write this and the letters on the screen are to small to see and the E on this keyboard keeps falling off. We'll get everything under control real soon.
July 10
Alright everyone. As I promised, July 10th has come and we are now out for the summer/fall so be prepared for a wonderful trip report like I have always brought, every night now. After finishing a few things boat work style, and saying goodbye to the friends and family, we were ready to get out here for the long haul and that's just what we're doing.
We showed up bright and early, put on some gas, loaded the herms(passengers) and left for the bait receivers. We cant complain about the bait. A bit on the larger side so we don't get as many but it's nice and healthy so we know they won't die and we'll catch fish with them. Reports sound pretty good for the most part. Pretty good local action for the tunas with some better grade yellows showing up under the kelps. The medium range yellowfin schools disappeared in the last few days but we know they'll show up somewhere soon. You can still at least make a day of it yellowtailing at the islands, and the ridge and rocks produce steady numbers of tuna, tail, and wahoo. Speaking of wahoo, our 9 day in September has room. Don't miss the trip of a lifetime. Light load, lots of fish. Come on, come on, come on. Don't make me beg here.
Anyways we're going to start out fishing offshore tomorrow and I don't know why I say start out because we'll be doing it all day. We'll be hunting tuna and tails. Pretty good reports in the zone we'll be rolling through the last couple days and we'd like to get in on that. Tails and tuna baby, tails and tuna.
On a sad note, we don't have one of our soldiers out with us this trip and we're not sure how long we'll be missing him at the moment. Our dog Tommie "Gunny" Miles had some health issues he needed to handle. I'm not going to go into the details but he's doing better and we hope to have him back as soon as possible. Health comes first though. I'm sure he's reading so maybe shoot him out a little "get better Guns" on FB. We love you bud.
I'll check in tomorrow night and tell you all how things went for us. So sweet dreams and happy booking on the Polaris Supreme.
P.S. I still haven't figured out the spell check yet so I hope I'm not embarrassing myself.
