Good evening,
On the slower side for yellowtail fishing today. We had a good shot in the morning but I think we weren’t quite ready. We saw fish later in the afternoon that didn’t cooperate. Lots of big bass and other miscellaneous throughout the day though.

Good morning,
We are kelping our way up to be in position to fish yellowtail tomorrow. We’ve had a couple good kelps this morning for “all-you-want” dorado. No wahoo on any of them yet. We didn’t tag a whole lot of fish today since anglers are saving tags for tomorrow.
Starting to get a little breezy here now hopefully theres a wahoo kelp on the bow.

Dorado coming over the rail!

Good morning,
Our move seemed to have paid off . We’ve had a few shots at wahoo this morning. We don’t see a whole lot, but the ones we do see bite a little bit so we’re getting a little sample.
We’ll check back later. We’re trying to get another stop here right now.

Frank and Tyson with their skinnies!
Good evening,
We had a good day down here on The Ridge. Some wahoo showed up late morning and we were able to scratch away throughout the day. We got a few good opportunities and scored a little better than a couple around. They are very nice fish–30 to 60#. Very fun fishing and beautiful weather. We’re moving up the coast tonight to try get a kelp tomorrow.

Good morning,
We had some action this morning on 12-40lb yellowfin which started right when the sun came up and lasted a few hours. There was a little bit of shaking going on (to release smaller ones), but it was pretty good fishing with 1-3 fish at a time.
We picked the anchor up and are trolling around looking for wahoo now.

Good evening,
We never got a shot at a wahoo in our tour today, never even saw one. We had no current at all from about 930am -4pm. We managed to scratch up a few nice grouper throughout the day along with some yellowtail.
We did get another hit on these tuna late in the day though. We had some pretty fun fishing this afternoon!
We’re going to make a move further down The Ridge to see if we can catch some skinnies tomorrow morning.

Good morning,
We’ve had our blinders on the past couple days as we’ve been traveling down the beach. We’re about 15 miles from The Ridge now.
We’ve had a couple strikes on wahoo and dorado over the past 20 miles so everyone’s pretty excited. We’ll see what happens when we get there. It’s a little choppy this morning but the sun’s out and it’s warm, so it’s all good.
Captain Mike and the boys
Jerry got a wahoo!
Good evening,
We got down to The Ridge and saw some sign of 15-40# tuna. We really didn’t get a good feel for it though, so we’re hanging out tonight so we can try again tomorrow. We did get a little bit of yellowtail action here.
We’ll see what happens tonight and tomorrow. Still a little breezy

Good morning,
We had good bait-making this morning. We are hoping it helps with the fishing today. We also had some fun beach fishing this morning on big calicos and 10-15lb yellowtail. Nothing wide open but we’ve been picking.

Good evening,
We got a good hit this afternoon on these yelllowtail. We got a biting school and they were biting–full speed, all we wanted. Very fun and exciting.
We’re headed up trying to catch some yellowfin and dorado for our last day.

Good evening,
We spent the last couple days doing a lot of driving. We finally got down to where we wanted to fish and got on some big schools of 15-18lb yellowtail. We saw a lot of them though they didn’t bite all that well.
About noon we started sliding further down the beach and got on some 10-15lb yellowtail that did want to bite. It was very fun fishing and in fact, we’re going to try for some mackerel tonight to try this again tomorrow.

Good morning,
We opted to go out west for bluefin to start our trip. We arrived on scene at about 10pm to a very good sign of 100+lb bluefin all night. They did not cooperate very well. But this morning’s a different story. The schools are responding well to the bait and we’re hooking them on the fly-lined sardine and on 60# line.
We’ve had a couple good opportunities so far today and we’re looking for more.

Hello anglers,
We moved northwest overnight in very choppy conditions including a lot of wind. We found a very large kelp finally but it didn’t have very much dorado associated with it. We landed a few dorado and these two lucky anglers got a nice fish off it. Dale caught his wahoo on 40# mono and a colt sniper with a small treble hook. Dennis let his shiny lure sink a little deeper and landed this 50# yellowfin. There were plenty of small tuna that we released.
We are headed home with hopes of better weather north of here.
