Herzog Electric Private Charter: 3 day (Sep 22-25)
Hello anglers,
We are on day 2 of our Herzog Electric 3-day charter. We spent the morning trying to get the bluefin tuna to bite without a lot of luck, so we moved spots. We had some fun catching a few yellowtail around lunch. Live sardines and 25 pound test were the tackle winners with that. We are headed back to the tuna area hopefully for some action this afternoon.

Father and son each caught a nice yellowtail
Good afternoon anglerrs,
We had some action this afternoon with bluefin tuna, primarily on the kite outfits. We had a dozen bites and landed four nice ones: 180, 155, 150 and 120 pounds. These are very nice fish, and so we had a great end for the day. We will try again tomorrow.

Herzog Electric Private Charter: 3 day (Sep 22-25)
Hello anglers:
We departed this morning with our great group from Herzog Electric and others. We had some action this afternoon on a kelp patty. There were plenty of opportunities to catch dorado and small yellowfin tuna. It was some good action for the beginners to get their techniques down.
We are headed west in search of bigger yellowfin and bluefin tuna.
