We had another good day today. Well, afternoon I should say. Yesterday, we got here at 2:30 in the PM and the fish were biting right away. I thought for sure if we were here earlier, it would be stellar. Nope. 2:30 was just right. We hung out here all day not seeing any yellers, then right at 2;30, they showed up and it was good fishing for the next few hours. We set up a little differently today and it paid off. The grade of fish improved. It was 70% premiums. That's right. 18-30+ pounders. 2nd fish hold down. We're cooling down the center well now.
Due to the fantastic fishing we've experienced this trip thus far, we are in need of some bait. We're headed out to what I think is our best chance at making some. No ones been there as far as I know for quite some time. It's been windy. It looks like we have a good weather window so it shouldn't look like the Flemesh Cap. We're also hoping to run into some bluefin tuna while out there. We're not just going out there for bait. We're looking for something to use it on. Let's keep the ball rolling.
34 pass. 170 skipjack tuna 1 yellowtail.
Starting November 1st we will be running full day Coronado Islands trips. Bring your yellowtail gear and your passport.
36 pass. 18 yellowfin tuna 2 yellowtail. Spent most of the day trying to get the lay of the land and we like what we see. Please bring a 20lb bait rod and a 40lb bait rod. A colt sniper or popper rod is always a fun tool but certainly not necessary. Size 2 and size 2/0 live bait hooks. A short piece of flouro always helps. No passports required for offshore trips. Call Seaforth at 619-224-3383 for info and resos.

Today didn't go as well as we were hoping. The plan sounded so good in my head too. You don't believe me? Come inside my mind and tell me it didn't sound like a good plan, you'll be a liar. The plan was to start here and work there. We were supposed to catch a bunch of yellowtail, then catch a wahoo or two, then scratch at some dorado here and there along with another wahoo or two, then we were supposed to get a small hit on wahoo in the end before finding the motherload of dorado.
Well, there wasn't much yellowtail. The little bit of dorado we saw either didn't bite or was small. And we didn't see a wahoo until the end. We did see a school of good grade yellowfin that wasn't in our plan. It didn't bite for long though. It was on the corner biting every bait for about three minutes. Just long enough for everyone to get one and then they vanished. I drove around thinking I would easily find the school again but we never did. We lost at least 6 wahoo on the last spot we checked and landed none. The wahoo won today.
Cool things of note today- the sailfish we caught, a couple marlin hooked and the orcas we saw. In the 14 seasons I've been out here I can only remember a handfull of times seeing killer whales so it's not too often we see them. We also don't catch sailfish too often.
Tomorrows plan- wahoo!
