July 29
Today was just one of those days for us. Well, I was controlling where we fished so I guess I just had one of those days. No, we're a team out here, WE had one of those days. We zigged instead of zagged. We turned left instead of right. During our zig, we found two kelps that were truly loaded with nice looking tuna according to my machines, but darn-it if they wouldn't bite. We have to figure they were kelps that got fished the day before and needed more time to recoup. During that time, there was a small area of kelps being found that were holding Dorado and mostly small tuna, but they were all taken by the time we made it in there. We tried to pick off one into the east and then north but we never could find much before we ran out of time. We scratched out a bit more than 50 mixed fish today so it wasn't a total loss. We just had one of those days.
The weather right now couldn't be better. We deserve it. We had a windy few days to start out the trip. All and all it was a great trip. A great group and good fishing. We'll be home tomorrow and back out for another 5 shortly there after.
As of now I'd pick Mark to win the "Biggest Loser" competition. Chef David made an amazing lasagna last night and Justin had a big ole piece while Mark ate a salad. Who would of thought our hill- billy, poor grammar speaking Mark "the crow" Clark would pass up lasagna for a salad. Next thing you know he may exercise during his way... OK, I can't even finish writing that it sounds so ridiculous.
Fishing is very technical now. Lots of Tuna but mainly being hooked with a well placed cast in a Tuna foamer.
They are mainly biting surface lures.
Including:
Colt sniper stick baits
Poppers
Colt sniper jigs
Tady 45 or Salas 7x surface irons
Be ready to cast and be ready for action.

~~July 31
Good evening folks and welcome to the last July 31 of 2015 ever aboard the Polaris Supreme. The water we fished today just didn't have that right feel to it if you know what I mean. The whole set up changed since we were there 2 days ago. It was 2 degrees cooler for one thing. Maybe we weren't in the right zone , but I don't think so. I think things were off as far as the tuna and Dorado goes. We were finding bull kelp areas instead of nice bushy kelps and catching only dinker tuna. I only saw one tuna over 10 pounds today and 10 pounds was a lunker. Needless to say we let every single one of them go. So at 7:00 pm, it was looking like we were going to chalk this one up as a travel day. I was just about ready to shower. I mean I literally had all my clothes on the floor with the shower water running when I heard the call. "We have a real nice kelp up ahead". I thought about it and decided I better suit up again just in case and it was the right move. Easily the best kelp of the year. Until well after sunset things were busy and exciting aboard the Polaris Supreme. The whole boat was bit. Every single person. Wide open 14-25 pound yellowtails. It was good. 4 fish per rod that stop. Uh huh. Dinner was much more satisfying than it was flling like it was going to be.
Another reason dinner was so lovely would be a fella, my friend Herb Yamanaka. Very possibly the nicest man in the world. At least tied for the nicest man in the world. Every year he spends I don't even know how much time behind the lathe machine, making everyone on board an original wooden bowl or things like it, and they're wonderful. He works for the Oregon Ducks origination so go Ducks!!!
Tomorrow we'll be arriving to Cedros at about 7 in the am. We're going to plan on wind, and we're going to plan on some good tailing to go along with a good time.
73 yellowfin 105 yellowtail 10 skipjack 2 dorado. Change your bait, change your luck.
Captain Ryan Bostian from San Diego Sportfishing checked in. 43 pass. 145 yellowtail 15 bonito. Flylined bait yo yo and surface iron.
