Trip 7: 6-day (Jul 20-26) Izorline and Turner’s Outdoorsman Open

July 25th, 2019|Trip Reports|

Hello anglers,

We travelled northwest today looking at kelp paddies. This afternoon we found a couple of kelps that had some yellowtail on them, so everyone had a chance to tag a yellowtail. The fish were up to 20 pounds. Here’s a few of the lucky anglers who caught a yellowtail today. We enjoyed our trip with Wendy, Lori, Izorline and Turner’s Outdoorsman, and all our wonderful customers!

We return to the dock tomorrow, and Captain Shawn will take our weekend trip out. Stay tuned

Trip 7: 6-day (Jul 20-26) Izorline and Turner’s Outdoorsman Open

Hello anglers,

We headed east overnight to an area of yellowfin tuna. We managed to get some action on yellowfin up to 18#. We had lots of chances and saw several spots of fish throughout the day. Not all the spots cooperated with biting fish, but a few did. Live bait was the best method, with 25-40 pound line and a 2/0 J-hook. A few fish were landed using artificial lures. The weather was great with sunny skies and light winds. Here is a group photo of most of the lady anglers on board. We are headed north to look for yellowtail on kelp paddies.
