Trip Reports

Good morning,

We’ve had some good action this morning on 12-40# yellowfin down here on The Ridge. We idled south all night and got here right at sunrise. We looked around for about a hour, then put the anchor down and went right to work.  They’ve since backed off, but we pick one off every now and then.  It’s very choppy at the moment so we have not done much trolling for wahoo yet.

Good evening,

Our weather did not cooperate at any point today, though we managed to keep picking away at these tuna all day for the anglers that wanted them.  We caught one wahoo on the anchor today too so we’re hoping we get a shot tomorrow to drive around and strike them up.

Good morning,

We put the brakes on last night due to high traffic today down on The Ridge.  It seems to have paid off. We’re picking away at the yellowtail here this morning.  Good yoyo and dropper loop fishing. The fish are 10-18#. Long drift, plunker-style with flurries.

Good evening,

The action on the yellowtail continued throughout the day all the way up until dark. Everyone is pretty stoked on how the day went with lots of rail time and lots of bites. Dropper loop and yoyo was best today.

We’ll be on The Ridge in the morning.

Hello anglers:

The tuna fishing continues to be good and everyone now has plenty. The weather has changed significantly with more wind, so we’ll be watching where we go from here.

We were able to troll around this morning and had some wahoo action. We are hoping to try again after lunch.

Hello anglers:

Great action on 12-35# tuna this morning. The tuna started to bite before daylight and continued until 10 am. Everyone had a great chance  at landing a yellowfin. Live sardine was the best method.

We trolled for wahoo and found a few in the afternoon. There was some opportunities and half the group landed a wahoo.

Hello anglers:

We arrived at the 13 fathom spot ths afternoon. We trolled around for an hour with no wahoo strikes, so we dropped the anchor.

We had some action on 12- 40 pound yellowfin tuna. We stayed busy until sunset and everyone had a chance at a tuna.

We are spending the night and trying again tomorrow.

Hello anglers:

It’s rigging day.

We had a seminar this morning to cover all the methods possible for the next few days on The Ridge. The great thing about The Ridge is the variety. When you cast out, you never know what you’re going to catch. We hope to have some action on yellowfin tuna, yellowtail, dorado and wahoo.

Everyone is in the process, with crew help, of getting set up for tomorrow afternoon.
