Andy Cates took his 30 Red Rooster III anglers to Guadalupe Island, and the ten-day trip paid off with a catch of tuna larger than those caught anywhere this week except for the Hurricane Bannk.

"We spent another day offshore," he wrote November 8, "and had good results on good size Dorado and wahoo. Once we got on a good line of kelps it was one after another, steady fishing right up until dark. We had lots of chances on Wahoo that left us with 14 for the day and 85 18 to 30-pound dorado.

"Today we are up at Cedros looking for yellows. The weather is still flat calm, but it looks like that will change soon."

Don Norlin of Lakewood won first place for a 110-pound tuna. He caught it with a sardine on a 3/0 ringed Mutu hook, 40-pound fluorocarbon leader and 40-pound Big Game line on a Trinidad 40 reel and a 700 H rod.

Hal Ruffner of Menifee won second place for an 89-pound tuna, and Matt Cardona of Apple Valley won third for an 80-pound yellowfin tuna. Michael Maister of Leucadia stood in with the winners, posing with his trip-best 66-pound wahoo.
