Hey anglers, We decided to stay local today and try for bluefin, yellowfin tuna and albacore. The fish have been biting first thing in the morning so we opted to look 50 miles from home on the first day and today. We got a good school in the dark and drifted until daylight. The bluefin started to bite and towards the end we landed some yellowfin. We left the stop at 8 am and ended up with 25 bluefin and 9 yellowfin. Norma Ross landed a 35 # bluefin and Jan Howard from Braid Products landed a 25 # yellowfin on 12-pound line, a personal best for that line class. After we left that stop we only landed three small albacore for our efforts up until 1 pm. So since we didn’t see very much fish and the other boats in the area had the same results, we left for Guadalupe Island to fish all day tomorrow. On our way we stopped at kelp patties and landed 21 yellowtail–good size–and 7 dorado. After that we saw a school of common dolphin and we trolled by them and got two stops on yellowfin tuna. There was a pretty good school of tuna with the dolphin but they wouldn’t stay with us. We landed 5 more tuna. We are traveling south towards Guadalupe Island and will arrive around 9 am. More tomorrow, Capt Art
