Hello all,
Good news from the Ridge and the Rocks: more wahoo are filtering in all the time, just in time for fall fishing. Plenty of yellowfin tuna continue to bite on the Ridge. Also good size yellowtail on the Ridge as well. 
There are still a few spots available on our fall trips! If you haven’t reserved your spot in a fall trip, don’t wait much longer.
Capt Art was recently at The Ridge, during our annual trip with Steve Carson and Penn Reels. Anglers got a nice taste of yellowfin tuna fishing with wahoo sprinkled in! Review wahoo fishing techniques and prep your gear here WAHOO before you book a 6- or 7-day trip — don’t miss out!
