We had full speed fishing today offshore on kelp patties. However for the most part, the yellowtail and dorado we were catching were small. So we released all but a few. We did however get some nice grade yellowfin. No big hits, but good action as we picked away at 30 lb. yellowfin. Jeff prepared a great Cajun chicken with avocado, mozzarella and fresh salsa for lunch. And as we head in tonight he is serving us steak and lobster. We will hit the dock tomorrow morning at 8:00am. We will be departing tomorrow on an 8-day trip with "The Old Wild Bunch" headed up by Le Roy Belardes. If you are thinking of coming out fishing we still have some open spots with Larry Brown on his 10-day departing October 25th. Highly sponsored with lots of raffles and giveaways. Give Susan a call at 619-390-7890.
Thanks!

Remember yesterday when I said we would find our dorado kelp? Well we conquered that quest. I tell no lies. An hour or so after breakfast, maybe 2, we found a kelp loaded and we went to battle and overall I think we won. I mean we caught exactly what we wanted. Beautiful mahi mahi. After that we went back to travel mode and we'll be arriving to our slip in San Diego tomorrow at 0800 hours. We ate some of that mahi for dinner tonight while we watched a slide show of all the pictures taken this trip presented to us by Tommy. Everyone misses there wives and they all told me, "Drew, I couldn't spend another minute without my wife". That's why this trip was 15 days. It's the maximum amount of time we can spend without our wives.
So we tie up tomorrow and that's the way we'll stay until November 9th, when we'll be departing on a 10 day trip. So until then, I'd just like to say how much I'll miss writing to you all. Stay classy and thanks for stopping by, but mostly, stay classy.
Today our passengers made it thru the strong south wind, fought off the morning sickness, and were rewarded with 93 yellowfin tuna and 108 skipjack tuna. Our schools would go back and forth from aggressive to line shy. A wise angler would have a variety of line sizes from 20 to 50 lb. small hooks are very important. Size 2 Mustad 94150 or something similar.
35 pass. 140 yellowtail 33 bonito. I know some of you are wondering why we have fish in burlap bags. At the end of the trip we take our fish out of the fishhold and put them in bags so our customers donβt have to carry their fish home in their backpacks. Their core temps are 35 degrees.
