Hi friends. I just want to start off by saying that Travis Donahue our new best friend. That guy gets on the boat and the Bluefin just are drawn to this guy. He's been on the boat three times this year already and every time he's out, the Bluefin bite. It's truly amazing. This trip was no exception as he tagged along with Garth and the boys from Optima and we had ourselves a good day on 15-30 lb. Bluefin. The other boats in the area struggled but we filled the box a few times on a couple of stops and we also managed to catch three thirty pound Yellowfin off of a kelp along with some Yellowtail. Like I said, it wasn't for everyone out here but thankfully, we had Travis on the boat and everything was just fine for us on the Supreme. We also had awesome weather to round out a fun day of fishing and we're currently en route back to San Diego. We'll be back to the docks tomorrow morning around 0900 hours. Thanks for checking in and thanks to the gang from Optima as well. Take care and we'll chat with you in a few days.
P.S. Mike Grella - thanks for the rags. You're the man.

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.

We had a good day of tailing at the Cedros today. After a short look around this morning we had an anchor job where we saw a little sign of those premium cow yellows from last night. You know which ones. Those 35-40 pounders is what I'm talking about. We didn't catch a lot but you don't need too many of those to get the crowd on the boat (crew included) oohing and awing. After breakfast we made a move, got some bait and then it was game on. We had good fishing on mostly 18-22 pound yellowtail. We sure would like to see that fishing stay consistent. Those were beautiful fish.
After several hours of pulling and winding we looked for more of those cows and made some drifts for halibut. We got a handful of halibut and a couple more cow yellows before we took off from there and headed north. We're going to look for tuna tomorrow. We have a few hours of stopped fishing time and we're hoping we can do that catching tuna.
Everyones having a blast and eating like champs. Dinner tonight is seared Ahi. Lunch today was sea bass tacos. Last night we had a seafood Alfredo. That's right. Champs.
