~~Oct. 11
And here's what we did today. The crew rigged up mucho tackle. I'm talking the grande stuff for the grande fish. After that and after breakfast we did our tuna seminar and I talked Tommy into doing a couple parts of the seminar. All I know for the past 10 years is my tuna seminar. It's nice to get a different perspective. Anyways, after that we were finishing up tackle rigging when poof, all three trollers went off. So we caught a couple meals. 3 nice dorado. So then it was lunch time of street tacos. And then some napping went down and the afternoon movie was Caddy Shack. When 5:00 rolls around it's cocktail hour and it looks glorious. Drinks, cigars, and friends. Then we had baby back ribs for dinner. Once again like the first 2 nights we tried for some giant squid to use as bait, but we were unsuccessful.
Still no storms brewing up down below and we're getting more and more confident we won't be getting pushed out of the fishing grounds until we say so. 2 more days of travel before we arrive. Everyone is enjoying themselves now because in a couple days, it's going to be war. We'll be battling it out with 200+ pound tuna and wahoo.
Captain Andrew Viola called in today at 10:33 AM with update from the Pacifica out of Seaforth Sportfishing in Mission Bay. We returned this morning from a 1.5 day trips. We had good action yesterday on the Bluefin Tuna. We had a total of 45 Bluefin Tuna. We had two Bluefin over 300 pounds (356 and 353). We also had three Bluefin Tuna over 200 pounds. Then we had about 12 nice fish weighing in between 80 and 180 pounds. Late in the day we found a good school of 30 to 40 pound fish. We had about about 25 of this nice fish. It was good action right before the sun went down. Good fishing and good weather.
Next few trips are overnights going for Yellowfin and Dorado. Our next Bluefin trip departs on Monday night.
UPDATE: I just talked to Andrew and the 356 pounder is a boat record.
Steady sonar stops for our 30 anglers produced 104 yellowtail from 12-20 lbs. 40 lb mono on a 20 or 30 size conventional reel and a yoyo jig was the most productive. Trips are filling up fast for this season. Make those resos
The season's fourth 300-pound tuna arrived November 29 aboard Polaris Supreme with owner-skipper Tom Rothery at the helm as the 90-footer docked at Fisherman's Landing. The trip was 13 days for the boat and ten for the anglers who flew home from Cabo, and was sponsored by Rothery's partner Tom Pfleger, who heads PIER (Pfleger Institute of Environmental Research). A small group of 14 anglers including Pfleger was aboard.
